Well, I've had this cappuccino maker for at least six years. And, for six years it has brewed an awful lot of rich espresso and steamed an awful lot of frothy milk. It's worked perfectly for all that time even with heavy use.The little machine is made of heavy duty plastic with metal parts. It's so easy to use. . . grind your coffee very fine (or buy espresso grind), fill up the little metal filter and attach the filter holder to the machine. Then, pour the water in. In just a few seconds, you'll hear the machine heating up and your coffee begins to brew. Right at the end of the brewing cycle, steam your milk by turning the dial. Skim works best, believe it or not-- you get creamy frothy steamed milk every single time with skim (and it really doesn't taste like skim). I put my milk in a cold stainless steel container and this seems to work best.This is marketed as a 4 cup espresso maker, but if you are making cappuccino, plan on getting only two cups with each brewing cycle.Again, for the price of this machine, I couldn't be happier. Every time I am in Starbucks or another store that sells espresso makers, I think how gorgeous those other machines are and consider purchasing one. But, the truth is, those other machines are very expensive and I don't really need one, since I consistently get an excellent cup of cappuccino or espresso from this little $40 machine in less than 5 minutes. It's been six years since I bought this; it's reliable, easy to clean, and brews extremely good coffee.

I've had this cappuccino espresso maker for about 6 months and I am absolutely in love with it. It is easy to use and makes authentic style and tasting cappuccino's just like I had in Rome last year. (Granted, you can't use... say... Folger's and expect to get a good taste. Make sure you use good quality coffee).You can make as little as 1 shot or as much as a 4 cup. Steam your milk in the same machine, it's quick, easy and delcious. I've not had any problems at all with my machine and I use it an average of three times a week.Merittcoffeetalking.com

I ordered this product on July 30th and received it on August 7th or so. I put it to use that evening and its performance was 'okay'.It simply just does not brew an acceptable espresso - I've tried a few different coffees that I've used in the past with no problem. On a high note, the frother works like a charm!Well, it did anyway... two evenings ago I went to make a chai latte. Everything was going fine until I went to froth the milk and turned the knob to allow steam out of the system. When I turned the knob it exploded! All of the steam built up released out of the side through the hole where the knob was at and the knob and the hardware it's connected to is hanging loose inside of the machine.I'm making a warranty claim on the item this evening. I'm not even sure I'll use it when I get it back...
