This espresso maker is comparable to the Nespresso original espresso machines. It makes a good cup of espresso in a short period of time although there isn’t as much crema as the Nespresso machines. It also doesn’t seem to be as fragile as many of the Nespresso espresso machines I’ve owned/used.It has two adjustment features that could be better. The first adjustment allows users to raise the amount of espresso into the single or double cup. The 45milliliter (ml) single espresso maximum adjustment is too small as a normal serving of espresso usually measures up to 60 ml. The double espresso maximum adjustment to 100ml is also too small as a lungo or double espresso cup usually measures up to 120ml.The second adjustment allows users to raise the brew temperature from 200 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit. I raised mine to this maximum but noticed no discernible difference in the two brew temperatures. While I appreciate concerns regarding too hot of a brew, I would think brewing temperatures for this machine would closely match the brew temperatures used by Starbucks or Nespresso.

After reading the negative reviews I was skeptical about this machine.I have wanted to replace our Essenza Mini as it seems to occasionally leak from the tiny water tank and it only holds 4 spent Nespresso capsules.This new model from Cuisinart has a 700 ml water tank (the Mini needs to be filled daily). It also holds 12 used pods, meaning we can wait 3 days between emptying.I liked the programmable brewing temperature and the being able to adjust the lungo cup size up to 100 ml digitally.One caveat is that the amount of “crema” or foam seems to be less than what we are used to with the Essenza Mini, but so far I like the taste of Peet’s/Costco capsules as brewed in this machine using the 100 ml setting.I will further experiment with the water temperature (I am currently using 201 F) as it may be possible to get more foam/cremagoing forward.Note further, we have enough counter space to keep the Essenza Mini side by side with the Cuisinart machine and that way we can do further testing and comparisons!

It took a while to get reusable pods working right-but wow-this is a great little machine. I’m using cafe Bustelo and it’s just delish!

Simple and elegant. Fits all types of original Nespresso size pods of many manufacturers I’ve tried so far.

This works really well for what it is designed for. The consistency is good each time. The only issue I have with it is when I go to eject the pod, there is little water still in the pod that collects in the pod reservoir. Other than that one issue, I am really happy with the product..

This Cuisinart espresso machine was more affordable than the other pricey ones. It’s a well known brand that’s recognized for quality. Based on that, I decided to make this purchase. It makes the single and double size espressos and it makes them quickly. It,s compatible with the Nespresso brand pods. While on vacation I enjoyed making espressos every morning in my hotel room using the original well know brand espresso maker & I knew this was a must have for my own kitchen. This cuisinart performs as well as that hotel espresso machine & makes a great espresso very quickly. I really recommend this product for the quality, price & performance. In fact my daughter bought the same one after seeing mine working and tasting what a delicious espresso it made.
