Disappointed with ground espresso We bought this product based on the Melitta name and the enthusiastic reviews even though there were just a couple of them. We also liked the fact that it was designed for both pods and ground espresso and based one review it seems to work well with pods. The unit is also easy to operate and clean.Using ground espresso however the result was much weaker than we got with our old fading Krups using the same coffee. We followed the instructions closely and also tried different coffee and water ratios. We then sent very specific questions to the support team at Hamilton Beach from their web site and received no response.We appreciate how Amazon took this back with no effort other than cleaning and repacking on our part. We will continue to make Amazon our seller of choice.
Love this machine!! This was the third espresso maker that I purchased and I love it!! I make three or four shots each day using the Starbucks pods and am VERY happy. Love the slide and lock mechanism.
great!!!! I got this espresso maker for Christmas this year after getting hooked on latte's. with this maker i have been able to match what i was getting at a coffee house. it took some practice but i figured it out. i haven't tried it with the pods yet but grounds work just fine!!! The frother is amazing and i have started saving a great deal of money.
