Have no idea why so many have had problems with this unit. One complaint is that it's flimsy. My last 3 in 1 from DeLonghi cost twice as much and was much flimsier (and messier), especially the plug for the pour and serve. I've had no problem with drips or messes, in fact it's surprisingly clean. Overall, it's fairly sturdy (especially for the price). I admit the holder for the espresso filter is flimsy (so be careful?), but it's really not that important anyway. I would prefer the lid for the pot be removable for easier cleaning, but again, if you're aware and careful it isn't a problem. It is slow, but I found that to be a benefit. By brewing slower, it makes much better use of the coffee grounds and I found I could cut my grounds (and I grind my own) by 20% over previous levels and get the full flavor I enjoy (and I like it strong). So, if you want a good cup of coffee or espresso at a great price, I highly recommend.

Bitter tasting - Barry A Coziahr -
Initially I really liked this coffee maker. It has all the features to make lattes, etc. and is easy to use. However after a couple of weeks I decided to return it. It does something to the taste of the coffee. I tried making it exactly right, tried changing coffees but it still have a funny bitter taste which I can only assume is from the type of materials used, or the way it creates the coffee. Also had a problem getting hot enough coffee. So not recommended unless you don't care how the coffee tastes (like my husband).
However, I have a WestBend kettle which is fantastic so this is not a review against the brand which has does have good products.
