I eyed up this machine for a month before I bought it. I was really disappointed the coffee pot dripped all over the place the 1st time I poured a cup. I tried pouring with the lid up, it helped a little. I decided to keep the machine anyway and resigned to keeping a paper towel under it when I pour. It doesnt come with a tamp or tin cup for the frother. I didnt realize just how much counter space it was going to take up. I like the multiple options and the small 8 cup pot, just wish it didnt drip everywhere.

Was on here looking for this exact model as my sister loved it so much she wanted one for her birthday. I've had mine for several years (bought at a Kmart) and although I kept my eye out for one at the stores since, have not seen it until now. I haven't had any real problems with mine and love the fact that you can make regular 'american' coffee (for friends/family) as well as espresso/cappucino (for me - I like it strong). It's easy enough to use and you can't beat the price. Hell, you can't buy an espresso machine alone for this price!
The only issue I've ever has is my own fault - dropped the espresso carafe one night (after three sleepless nights while working on a master's thesis). Imagine that - dropping glass, who'd think it would break, right? Even that wasn't really a problem, just put the mugs under the dripper.... Anyway, that being said, found out while searching, that you can get replacements for either of the carafes for around $10, so I wouldn't worry too much about the reviews of cracked pots and such. Would agree with one reviewer that a clock would be nice, but again you have to consider the price. Also 8 cups empties quickly when you have a lot of guests.
I have also used a few professional espresso machines which do make a higher quality cup, but then you're looking at $200 and up (some of the $600 machines are fantastic and practically indestructible, but unless you have a coffee shop and/or a whole lot of bling, such a price is really not justifiable). So when all is said and done, I just have to keep referring to the price - it's unbeatable and the product works well enough. The only accoutrement I would suggest is a grinder which will probably set you back another +/-$10.

I like this pot, but lid somehow cracked into 3 giant pieces???? I do not know how. I know I did not break it--but I'm not the only one living here. I suspect it was a stress fracture in plastic--anyway,--tried gluing--MESS. So with broken lid, very easy to forget to place water wand back over grounds after filling filter, so have had some water mishaps, which caused damage to hardwood floor and cabinet--(my husband makes my coffee before he leaves, so it it a few hours before I find mess) I liked this pot because it fit under cabinet without pulling forward to fill--I like the water portion you fill and place onto unit w/o top filling with carafe. The carafe does leak alot too, so there are alot of negatives, but if I can find a new lid, I would still keep this unit. Makes good coffee. Have not even tried espresso side.

i've had this since fathers day 2010 and i like it, but the heater for the coffee part is starting to chip away and is almost rusting! the steamer for the milk is also difficult to operate. overall, a good coffee brewer but i wouldn't buy another.

My husband and I were very displeased with this coffee maker. Thankfully Target was willing to return the item for us. The coffee pot leaks when pouring a cup of joe and got worse over time. I would have a puddle of coffee after pouring a cup of joe. The espresso maker also didn't work. I returned this and got a JUST a plain jane coffee maker. I am now a happy person!
