It's been 3 weeks since we bought this machine. The coffee is brewed very well. The Expresso took a few weeks to get down pat but it is very good aswell. Frother does a good job aswell.

This machine is a very good coffee maker. With the reusable filter gone are the days of cellulose taste in my coffee. Espresso maker is average. I think this machine lacks the kind of pressure required for an excellent shot of espresso, but for the convenience of having one this is good. I am not impressed by the milk frother at all. It is not very user-friendly and at the same time the results aren't really great. It just heats the milk and not really makes it frothy. Plus, the added labor of cleaning the milk frother every time one uses it.

This is a great machine, but I have had a minor problem with the espresso/cappuccino button sticking at times.

So far this is the best coffee machine I ever bought. I hope it remains this way in 6mons or so from now. Coffee is always hot.

For the most part I only like 1-2 cups of coffee a couple times a week and got tired of throwing out the coffee in my old melita drip coffeemaker. I also love cappucinos so I thought I would get the best of both. It truly is. I did have to use the instructions, the first couple of times, but I can do it like a pro.
