Should I say more ?? I can see that another reviewer raves about this but I dont have anything kind to say about this espresso machine except that it looks pretty good on a kitchen counter.
The specs say that it is a pump based machine but they dont mention about another crucial element of any espresso machine; a boiler. I dont think this machine has a boiler. This machine manages produce steam by flowing a tiny stream of water over the heating element and then to the pump; Not a pretty way to create steam and good espresso. Ofcourse, you can also forget to make steamed milk for cappuccinos or lattes.
At this price range I would excuse them for cutting corners on some features, but messing up the primary function is not excusable. That said, I am not one of those espresso nazi’s who assume spending anything less than a thousand bucks on an espresso machine is the only way to get good espresso. My unit went back promptly and I am still searching for that elusive (and decent) espresso machine for a hundred bucks.

I had been using a $13 stove top moka pot and a stove top frother and they worked great. I received this machine as a gift and decided to give it a good try. The espresso comes out lukewarm and the frother is inconsistent. Sometimes the milk froths great, other times it spews all over the counter and comes out hot but no froth. I could do better in the microwave. Speaking of which, I’ve read reviews where people suggest to heat the espresso in a microwave and heat up the milk first in the microwave. No thanks, this machine should not need that kind of effort. As far as clean up goes, I think it’s a mess. This is way too much work for me, AND I have to give up counter space for this thing. I’m going back to my little stove top gadgets. They work great, clean up is easy, and they store in a cabinet. And when I make coffee, the whole kitchen smells so good.

It never warms water to appropriate temperature. The water was actually coming out almost cold. I drank cowboy coffee from expensive machine! Maybe it works well with pods, but not with ground coffee. I watched video to see if I missed something. Nope. It is just bad product. It also takes forever to just warm up in comparison with my old simple Krups cappucino maker.
Do not buy.

Having read the reviews, you will either love or hate this machine. Put me in the hate it category. No problems with steaming milk, but it makes a weak, lukewarm, poor excuse for a shot of espresso. I don’t know whether there is a great deal of variation in the quality of the machines Hamilton Beach produces or just a great deal of variation in the expectations of espresso drinkers. If you buy this one, save the box and packing materials. Like me, you may send it right back.

Used to vacation (great) “oil dreg” Turkish, Itailian Ristretto, etc.. as well as using personally “dot.snot” $30k super m/c (better than commercial Starbucks).
For almost no dollars the quality of coffee is outstanding..wait for the lights or som e time for water temp/pressure to get right.
Feels and looks like 300 buck machine. Fantastic bang per buck.
