The water does get hot enough so it does not make a good cup - I noticed if it put very hot water in the water container the espresso will be warmer but still not strong . The light goes out after a short while while on brew . So I heat the milk making sure I change the water drain so it goes not overflow . Guess I should just get a new one that works well . Peace

I've used a number of these type of home espresso machines and I think this one is pretty good, especially for the price. Like many, the biggest drawback is that you have to manually monitor the brew. It doesn't automatically stop when your single or double shot is done. The good news is that it only takes about 30 seconds anyway. I think the key to these machines is to adjust your expectations. My experience was that it produced a smooth, non bitter espresso with a nice crème. It takes up little space and is easy enough to use every day.
Brews too fast for espresso. No room for cups except for demitasse cups or a child's teacup. No outer markings on the sieves to lineup the removal slots. The dimpled slots are covered in wet coffee grounds even after you dump the used grounds. The sieves have rubber gaskets for better seals. The rubber gaskets are not necessary, but they do make it difficult to remove the porta filler to the point where you have to practically bear hug the whole machine to unlock it. It dumps water into the drip tray from the bottom every single time you use it. This causes the drip tray to fill up quickly regardless of your own caused spills or drips from above.

Basic, no fuss. When so many other things need doing through out the day, it's great to look fore ward to my several shots of espresso & then I am much happier finishing all that needs doing. Out off zillions to choose from I made the right choice. I am sure of it. I even called the company & talked to them about using medium grind instead of fine! It was easy to order my EC100 Capresso machine, you should try this one!
