(More customer reviews)For the price, this is a great machine. Aesthetically, the units chrome and stainless looks adds greater appeal than the normal cheaper black plasic items that you find in this price range. I have used this unit numerous times to make both espresso and cappucino, and the coffee comes out great after you get familiar with its operation.
The only negative item that I can mention is regarding its manual. In order to find out how to properly operate this machine, I had to do a bit of research such as reading the manuals from other manufacturers. In addition, I have sent Kalorik some questions regarding the fiters mentioning the fact that the manual was lacking in any detail. Kaloriks response was to send me a PDF of the manual.
For the customer that mentioned that they where unable to get the machine to produce hot coffee, this again is due to the lack of information in the manual as I have had that as an initial experience and was first very disappointed by the machine. The item missing from the manual is the fact that you need to prime the machine prior to making the coffee, especially if this is the first time using it. The manual mentions that this is a cleaning process which is partially true when the machine is new, but you also need to do this to prime the boiler whenever you use the machine. Bascially, this just involved opening the steam valve for a short time to purge the water, and then let the pump put out some water. After this step, you will find that the coffee output is very hot.
Bottom line, a very good machine, but an incomplete manual.

With user-friendly controls that even a novice can master, this 1250-watt espresso maker brews cafe-quality espresso from the comfort of home. The unit provides a maximum pump pressure of 15 bars so that each shot comes out with a thick layer of golden crema. It also comes with two stainless-steel filters (1-cup and 2-cup) and a steam nozzle for frothing milk when making cappuccinos. In addition to brewing excellent-tasting espresso drinks, the appliance also makes a sleek-looking addition to an modern kitchen with its polished stainless-steel housing, chrome base, and decorative frosted glass control panel and top cover. It's definitely an appliance to leave out on display. Other highlights include a mechanical control switch with a power-on indicator, a filter-holder handle, a removable water tank, a cup warmer to help ensure an authentic espresso experience, and a removable drip tray. A dual-function measuring spoon and tamper tool comes included. The espresso maker measures approximately 10 by 8 by 10-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
