    Cheap generic coffee maker

    The coffee tasted terrible, and the unit leaked from the bottom. I should’ve listened to the other bad reviews. This is just a cheap generic coffee maker.

    Not worth the money. The heating system is too small. Can't make multiple drinks unless you wait on the machine.

    Just purchased this. Set it up today and attempted to use it following the included directions in the product manual and it does not work at all. Item will be returned, and I will be choosing a different brand for a replacement.

    The pressure was horrible I don’t know if it mine was defected but when I click to make the coffee in 2 seconds stop and the amount of coffee was equivalent a 5 ml(like spoon of medicine )I thought it was the tight coffee I lose it nothing , try with just water same thing even when I make the set up to get it started with just water do the same thing so after many attempts I return it

    I've been using this machine only 1-2 a week for the last 4 months. Today it just broke and will not pump water anymore. You get what you pay for I guess. I do not recommend this product at all.

    This thing did not work good at all, but the return at Best buy was so easy. Switching between to steam it would send steaming hot water into your fresh brewed espresso.
