This espresso maker from Mr. Coffee is well crafted in both its look and function. It is very reasonably priced and has several great features that allow you to brew up to four cups of some great tasting espresso and cappuccino. It has a very nice combination of black and gray with touches of stainless that will fit well into any kitchen decor, and since it is so compact it will take up less counter space. It has a variable steam control, a pressure safety valve built in and a three option control knob to enable separate brewing and frothing. It also has a cord storage feature, removable drip tray and it comes with a measuring scoop too.
The case itself is more durable than other espresso machines. Be careful with the carafe though, you may find it hard to replace if it breaks. It seems that even stores that carry this Mr. Coffee espresso maker do not always carry a replacement carafe. You may need to look around online to find one.
Other than that, this is an exceptional espresso machine for the price range and you will be hard pressed to find a better one than this for your money.
Some people may find that the frothing arm and tip are troublesome to clean, but for yummy cappuccino in the comfort of your own home, it is worth the effort.
