I had a HB espresso maker that lasted 2yrs and I loved it with no problems, prior HB that lasted not quite a yr under warranty an HB replaced it. I bought 2 others recently due to my HB wouldnt make Espresso anymore but the steam steam/frother still worked. Looked for a new one right away. I bought 2 espresso makers had problems right away and returned them both, went online to find another HB, for the price and quality, found another one almost the same but a newer version. I would definitely recommend, it works great. The espresso is wonderful and it steams and froths the milk wonderful and hot!!!! I found alot of reasonable priced espresso makers doesnt froth or steam the milk very well or get very hot at all. Make sure you follow the instructions prior to use, and it takes a little to get that perfect mocha, but after 3 yrs, I like mine better and its cheaper. An awesome buy for the quality.

Don't bother with this machine

We have had this machine for approximately 2 years. However, we are away for approximately 6 mos of the year and only use this machine on occasion, so it has not had much use. It now will not pump water through to make the espresso. The steamer works well, but the frother does not, ie no hot water pumped through the nozzle either. It only malfunctioned intermittently at first, but soon I was not able to make a cup of espresso. I could hear the pump running, but it was muted and there was plenty of water in the reservoir. I also have cleaned regularly with white vinegar and only use distilled water. After some research, I discovered many other people were having the same problem with one reviewer saying he had to take the machine apart, not an easy feat, and fiddled with a valve and it began working correctly again. This is considered a "throw-away" machine, so service is not existent if you can't do it yourself. My husband is in the process of tinkering to see if he can find the problem, as it is not obvious, even though he has the machine apart. I can afford another machine, but I do not consider a $70 + item to be a throw-away after only a couple of years of light use. I am looking for another brand machine, or may even resort to my old stove top maker as it has no moving or electrical parts.

Good for learning.

I'm using this to learn to make espresso. So far, so good. The warmer really doesn't warm cups unless you leave them on there for a couple of hours. There isn't a lot of space under the portafilter for a cup. A normal "American" coffee cup won't fit. Go down to your local Goodwill or antique shop and find some of those old, short cups (or crank out some $ for a real espresso cup).Others have said to change the portafilter and I've been contemplating it. It does take some practice to use it.This is a good machine to learn to make your own espresso.Others have said theirs broke quickly. I don't use mine much, so I can't say on that.
