We bought this product based on the Melitta name and the enthusiastic reviews, even though there were just a couple of them. We also liked the fact that it was designed for both pods and ground espresso, and based one review, it seems to work well with pods. The unit is also easy to operate and clean.Using ground espresso, however, the result was much weaker than we got with our old, fading Krups, using the same coffee. We followed the instructions closely and also tried different coffee and water ratios. We then sent very specific questions to the support team (at Hamilton Beach) from their web site... and received no response.We appreciate how Amazon took this back with no effort (other than cleaning and repacking) on our part. We will continue to make Amazon our seller of choice.

I got this espresso maker for Christmas this year after getting hooked on latte's. with this maker i have been able to match what i was getting at a coffee house. it took some practice but i figured it out. i haven't tried it with the pods yet but grounds work just fine!!! The frother is amazing and i have started saving a great deal of money.this machine was one of the best Christmas gifts i could have ever gotten!!!

By Not happy with Melitta
I purchased this espresso maker in Dec of 2011 and I was excited about getting the unit to replace a Delonghi that gave out. I figured if I paid in the $150.00 range I would be getting something better than the unit I replaced (about $80.00), but it wasn't so. It does heat up quickly but that's about it. The first unit wouldn't draw water from the tank. I called Melitta and they had me try a few things before saying they were authorized to send me a new unit. The service rep told me they would send a new unit and instruct me as to where to send the plug I cut off the defective one. I asked at least twice if I was to send the plug first and she said no. It seemed strange but I waited for the unit to arrive and assumed it was taking extra time to get here because of Xmas. After 3 weeks I called and they said they had no record of me calling. I had to go through the whole story again, send them the plug from the defective unit first (makes sense right?) and received the new unit. It worked but it leaks all over my counter and the handle that holds the grounds is corroding. I use only bottled water. I called them and they said to send them the handle so that they can look at it and figure out why it's corroding. I have the old one from the first broken unit that I can use but they don't have any replacement parts to send me so that if the second one corrodes I can't use the machine at all. The water drips into a plastic piece and doesn't touch the corroded metal, but it still isn't right. The water tank is large but when it gets about half way empty it doesn't draw well and sometimes I have to fill it to get it to work, so it's like having half a tank. I wouldn't buy another Melitta.
