What's great about it: Fast, easy, great espresso, can use full size cup
What's not so great: best buy online
This machine was not my first choice, but is better than i ever expected.
This em200 espresso maker is fast, easy to use and clean compared to the others i've owned. The push button brewing is so nice and makes one excellent tasting espresso product, it's quick from start to finish, about 3-4 min. The unit comes apart easly, easily to clean
The stainless steel shell is beautiful and cleans up easily. Their is room under the portafilter for a regular sized coffee cup, so making latte's is easy. love this machine!!
The product is great, but best buy online ordering was not the best. There selection is weak, they have alot listed but most are backordered or not available for shipping... The only reason I orderd from them was I had a x-mas gift card, and they had no selection of espresso makers in stores in the tri-state area, but all worked out for the best...Hope your experence is better.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use. Makes great espresso out of the box.
What's not so great: Frothing wand vs pitch; It's a bit difficult to get the pitch out from underneath the wand esp. when the pitcher is full
I thought I'd give my out of the box experience and add down the line. This is my first machine; I got tired of paying those prices at the coffee shop and leaving my house to get that perfect latte. The all stainless steel design seems strong and looks good. I do have to hold the machine down when I put the portafilter on/off. I also bought a gaggia ginder which i paid more for than my espesso machine. I got my machine/grinder before i got the coffee I ordered so ran down to the small local grocery store and got some starbucks beans. And I'm using bottled water.
My first impression is...WOW. This was really easy and great tasting out of the chute. I was making latte's to my taste immediately. There was no extra water in the portafilter when I was done so I knew I was getting the right grind setting and tamping. And frothing the milk was alot easier than I expected. The temperatures all seemed right, I have a themometer coming for the frothing cup but not sure I need it. I used 8 oz milk to a double shot of espresso and just frothed til the milk was at the top of the pitcher. Yes I like it strong, lol. I will probably get a bigger pitch so I can put a couple more oz's of milk in. And I will be experimenting with the brew times.
The machine does not have any leaking of water anywhere, at this point and seems to be working well. Time will tell. I don't find it overly loud. There seems to be more water in the drip tray than i expected; I'm not sure where this is coming from. But it's in the drip tray so all is good. I rated excellent for value for price because the machine has all the settings I wanted and are useful to me. I rated one notch down on durablility just for having to hold the machine down while taking the portafilter on/off. And I rated usefulness, again, because this machine has all the settings I want but I think there is going to be an issue with the frothing wand using a larger pitcher. It's already difficult to use the wand with the pitcher that came with it on a counter top and I want to make larger drinks. I guess my other options is to froth twice but that would mean double the foam on top as well. More experimentation.
I will come back and add in a couple/few months and see if my rating is the same.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use, great machine
What's not so great: Nothing
I almost didn't purchase this machine due to the negative review. I have purchased other Cuisinart products and their customer service is always excellent, so I decided to go with a Cuisinart product. After doing several hours of researching espresso machines, this one met all of the requirements for a good espresso machine. I have been more than pleased with my purchase. It is a very durable product and I would recommend this to anyone. Makes great espressos, mochas, cappuccinos, and more.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's not so great: Nothing yet
I almost didn't get this espresso maker because of some of the reviews I've read. I got it anyway and I'm glad I did. I haven't had any issues with it yet. It makes a great espresso. The lasts two cheap espresso makers I bought, broke on me right out of the box. I finally decided to get one of quality. I'm extremely happy with this one so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Looks great,
What's not so great: broke after 3 uses
I loved the look of this machine, nice design, built well and its a Cuisinart. The first couple times I used it, it delivered a great cappuccino. I used it a total of 3 times before it crapped out on me. I turned it and all the buttons started flashing and wouldn't work. I tried contacting Cuisinart but it took them over a week to get back to me, by than I had returned the machine. Best buy took it back without any problems. This is an absolute don't buy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
