The Capresso Steam Espresso machine is the best. I found I can even froth milk and make espresso at the same time. It froths the milk so fast I could hardly believe it and its soooo creamy. (make sure to give the water a couple of minutes to heat...

When you get married in your 40s and have everything you NEED, your registry contains bits of indulgence. This was one of those items. Thinking I'd use it after dinner parties, I registered for this -- and it was the first present we got. Now I use it...

I have had this espresso maker for over a year now! I love it! For the price, it makes an excellent latte. I am able to get a creme on the espresso and steam milk to get a fabulous creamy foam even on non-fat milk. I really don't think a more expensive...

If you like cold coffee, this is the product for you. If you are like 99% of the population and prefer you coffee hot, stay away from this one. Will be returning to the store for a refund.

steadily had less and less output as time went by. we've only had it for two months an it pretty much stinks at this point. and with a weird burning plastic smell the whole time. i wish we had saved up for a better one.

Does this do the job? Yes, but not well. I got this as a present after my last espresso machine made its last latte. The taste of my lattes are inconsistent day to day even though I use the same beans and go through the same steps. The steamer is also...
