Great Buy

Love this product. I read all the other reviews before buying so I knew it didn't come with a steaming pitcher and ordered one to go with it. However I didn't realize that it didn't come with an espresso tamper either. I would have ordered one had I known now I have to wait for the one I ordered to come in and hope it fits this machine. Would have given it 5 stars but as a former barista I know that to make a good latte I need a steaming pitcher and a tamper. So for an espresso machine not to come with these items is like getting a pair of sneakers with no laces. I have had no problem with leaking and as long as the user READS THE INSTRUCTIONS they shouldn't have any problems either. For $40 I've already gotten my money's worth in the last week. And anyone interested in buying I would say "GO FOR IT!!!" but order a steaming pitcher and espresso tamper along with it.



Note: P.S. Get a 49mm espresso tamper to go with it. Doesn't fit "perfectly" but its as close as I could find that wouldn't be too big.More detail ...

Perfect for families with 1 coffee drinker

We all know that too much coffee is terrible for the body in several ways. So instead of using the 12-cup coffee maker we decided to go with a smaller one - to force me to drink less coffee. I love this product for a number of reasons.



Pros:

- Perfect size for a single coffee drinker.

- Timer is great. Every other 4-cup maker that I found were switch based without a timer setting. Timer settings are really helpful when you want to just get your coffee and go.

- Easy to clean. This product has a removeable filter cup for easy cleaning. Also the auto-pause in brewing is helpful to both allow for quick removal and less spilling.



Cons:

- It takes a little longer to brew 4 cups with this maker as it does in a larger maker. This may simply be due to the size of the product.



Summary:

- I really like this product. It makes coffee perfectly. It is compact and takes up very little space. It is perfect for my coffee needs.More detail ...
