Mr. Coffee ECM21 4-Shot Espresso Machine and 8-Cup Coffeemaker Combo, Black

I had the leaking problem with the carafe, too... when I try to poor the coffee to a mug, it spills everywhere - which I think is a big problem since I have to clean the counter each time I want to drink a cup of coffee. I would give a 5-star otherwise. I haven't tried to make espresso yet.

I was impressed that this coffee machine made really good capuccinos. I had a DeLonghi dual coffee maker which was great but I wore it out. I didn't want to spend as much this time so I decided to try this one for half the price. It works just as well. I'm very happy with it.

i found this coffee machine too big for my kitchen counter. It occupies too much of space.I wish I had stuck to a dedicated coffee maker.I have just packed it up and don't know what to do with it. Using this machine really challenges me technically. Maybe people with bigger kitchen counter spaces than mine would probably appreciate this item more than me. so good luck guys.enjoy your coffee!

Mr Coffee ECM21 is just awful. I thought that anything Mr coffee made was at least acceptable. But I was wrong. I never even tried the expresso/cappaccino maker. I could not pour coffee from the carafe without it spilling all over the counter or the table. Tried pouring slowly. Nothing made any difference. And the coffee that actually made it into the cup was terrible..... I had to give this product 1 star because the site would not let me give this piece of _____ none.

The only saving grace was that Amazon refunded the total price including the shipping. No questions asked.

Brews an excellent cup of coffee as a coffeemake. Like the "slow" option for a small number of cups. Steams milk well, so we get excellent lattes. Espresso made with freshly groung espresso roast arabica beans is as good as any we've gotten in a restaurant.
