After reading through all the instructions to make sure I would be setting this up correctly, I began going step by step to do the "start-up" procedure. After about 10 attempts to make this machine work, and cleaning up water from all over my countertop from it pouring out all over the place several times, I finally gave up. I called Seaco's customer service line and spoke to a very nice man who is going to send me anew machine since this one is obviously faulty! I'll let you know how I like it after I get the replaced machine, which should be between 7-10 days.. Very disappointed at this point.
No, I do not recommend this product.

This is a simple machine for the whole family. The coffee is delicious. I thought the machine might be too small, but easily solved that by placing it on a spare chopping block (to more easily use the steamer) and taking out the drain grate. Now my smaller coffee cups fit under the filter just fine, and I can steam a small pitcher of milk on the side. WONderful. My children love a bit of steamed, frothed milk with a dash of vanilla and a sprinkle of cinammon, and my husband and I have our espresso, grandparents prefer it "American" with extra hot water out of the steamer nozzle...
Yes, I recommend this product.

I was expecting the same ease of use as the Starbuck's Barista this machine replaced. Not so. It is difficult to put the milk under the steaming wand. . . limited heighth . . . the drip tray is too narrow to balance the regular-sized containers. . . AND the button lights are very difficult to see if they are on. It does make good coffee but is just not easy to use.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I've used Starbucks espresso makers for years, but this is the first time I've written a review. I thought it was difficult to use. I didn't like the coffee at all, thought it was bitter. Very disappointed with Starbucks. I've been using their espresso makers for years and years and this is the first one I've had problems with. My son got this for me for Christmas or I would send it back...
No, I do not recommend this product.

I have had this machine for 3 years and it consistently makes great coffee. Between my husband and me, we use it 4 or 5 times a day. It is very simple to use, it is compact, and it does what you want in a fantastic way every time. We usually make americanos, but the steaming wand is great and we use it to make lattes and vanilla milk for the kids. Summer time is the best time for iced lattes!
I have been looking for another one (in the event that mine dies - heaven forbid). I won't live without it. :)
