The machine does exactly what it's intended to do, I use it regularily to steam milk for chai tea lattes as well as the entire espresso side for cappucino and lattes. The stopper on the coffee basket to allow you to remove the pot before it finishes dripping is a bit drippy, but nothing a quick swipe w/ a wet rag won't solve. I paid for it at WalMart (FAR cheaper than on Amazon) and I'm pleased with my machine, definitely worth the price I paid. And I have NO problem removing the old coffee grounds from the machine without removing the whole basket (actually, I don't think I've ever even bothered removing the basket) - I guess the other reviewer that complained about it was a midget ;)

Beware - Cheap materials and even cheaper espresso feature! - Patrick J Michalina - Fort Belvoir, VA
If you plan to make espresso out of this thing, think twice! The espresso maker fills with lime/calcium and is impossible to remove! I have tried CLR and other products and it looks worse actually.

The machine is rather large and clunky. It uses the cone filters which are great, but everything else about it stink!

I am searching for a new coffee maker now. This one is garbage, stay away!



Don't waste your money - Darlene L. Norris -
Ours is about two years old. The carafe has ALWAYS leaked coffee all over the place when you pour from it. Very poorly designed.

This coffeemaker blocks up easily with coffee grounds, and used to spew coffee all over regularly, even though I always used a coffee filter. It doesn't spew any more since the plastic pieces under the coffee grounds basket broke off. Don't know why they were there in the first place, as it works better without them.

It takes FOREVER to brew coffee. SLOOOOOOW.

Now it leaks water all over the counter. Don't know where it's coming from, either.

The milk steamer and espresso maker are hard to use, messy, and even harder to clean. We stopped using these features pretty quickly, because I got tired of cleaning up the kitchen every time my husband wanted to make me some steamed milk or espresso. Annoying, because this is why my husband wanted to get this particular coffeemaker.

It also uses the pricey cone-shaped coffee filters instead of the cheaper basket-shaped ones. These things are about twice the price of the regular ones.

This is a piece of junk that will be replaced once I use up the present package of coffee filters. It was aggravating to use, but I kinda zoned it off until it started peeing on my counter all the time. This will be retired to the zero file very soon. Don't waste your money on this piece of junk.

Edited to add that I wanted to rate it with zero stars, but it wouldn't let me. Actually, I'd give it about a -5.
