Good experience
This machine has been impressing me by the day. The only two issues I have, sometimes the coffee is squirting out from the top and I can’t still not figure out the frothing side. I will eventually master the frothing, but concerned on why is the coffee is leaking from the top of the espresso insert. The coffee taste has been amazing. The one and two shots are sized to perfection. As a beginners machine, I would highly recommend it.

Espresso machine? Not really.
Not really an espresso machine. Splatters water everywhere. Not anything like the espresso machines I've had before. Like that it can handle a variety of cup sizes. But that's not enough to offset poor operation. Sending to Goodwill.

Beautiful Expresso machine.
I bought this Expresso maker after my trip from Italy. It is a great machine. I love having my Cappuccinos first and c then my expresso 3 pm. It's a beautiful and easy-to-use machine.

Solid machine for home and Space Saving
It makes yummy coffee. Overall I say it's a solid machine and look forward to using it for a long time to come. The double shot button at times does not cause the machine to go. I have to turn it off and on a couple of times but then it works. It may be something with me as opposed to the machine though. The frother works great as well and I'm very pleased.

Maybe mine was a dud
I really wanted to love the Cuisinart Espresso Bar Espresso Machine, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Maybe I got a dud, but despite my best efforts, the machine simply did not work properly. I was able to get it started, and it did heat up, but none of the buttons responded. You could hear it trying to warm up to push hot water through, but nothing actually happened. The one function that did work was the frother, but that’s not enough to make this a functional espresso machine. For context, I’ve used several espresso machines before, from the Jura superautomatic to the Breville semiautomatic, so I’m confident that user error wasn’t the issue. This was just a faulty machine. If I had a working unit, maybe I’d have a different opinion, but based on my experience, I can’t recommend this machine.

Make Delicious Coffee at Home
Cuisinart's Espresso Bar Espresso Machine is a wonderful addition to the kitchen. We drink coffee in the morning and throughout the day. I enjoy lattes and my husband favors straight espresso (quads) - both easy to make. This machine is simple to use, and more importantly, easy to clean. I found the machine's volume reasonable. I have a silicone mat between the counter and the machine. I love the cup warmer feature on top. I received this product compliments of Home Tester Club in exchange for my honest review. I have not had an expresso bar like this before; I've been using a machine with small capsules. This espresso machine from Cuisinart feels well made and solid. I expect it will last and work well for many years. I am looking forward to trying some of the recipes in the user's manual. They sound delicious!

Best espresso machine!
This is the best espresso machine. It’s so easy to use and looks so stylish in my kitchen. Love that it’s so compact but still powerful. It has a cold extraction process that makes cold drinks as well, no time to wait. Also a frothing wand. Saving you time and money being able to make the coffee beverage of your dreams in the comfort of your own home. So many options and drink possibilities.
