This is a very good machine. It is attractive and with a nice space on top for cups and assessories. The stainless look is clean and efficient looking although the weight of the parts do not necessarily convey a sense of strength and long lasting durability. It comes with two holders for coffee, one for a single demitasse and one for two demitasse. I would forget about the single and always use the double unless you are into tiny espresso servings. I also immediately took off the plastic tip for the milk frother. There is no need for that. This machine makes a cup of espresso with a beautiful crema. It is easy to use and the milk frother does a very nice job with a powerful pump behind it. The water container is easy to fill and large enough for hold quite a few cups. The drip tray is easy to clean. The machine heats up very quickly. The machine is also not at all touchy as to the kind of ground to get a nice crema. I was able to make a very good cup when I turned it on for the very first time. I was able to figure it out pretty well after a few cups by adjusting the ground and the tamp. It is very forgiving and user friendly. I bought this machine on a close out at Target and it was a great price and a great machine. You may not think Mr. Coffee would be the brand for a great espresso machine but this company has been very successful with coffee machines and one should not be surprised that they would do at least competantly with espresso machines. They hit it well with this model. I cannot speak to its durability. Some reviewers have had some issue with a similar Mr Coffee pump espresso machine (the ECMP-50 model). The model listed here is the ECMP-55, a very similar machine from the specifications. I highly recommend it so far although durability is still an open item that I cannot speak to at this point.
Enjoy it while it lasts. I bought one, and I make 2 espresso drinks a week, one on Sunday, and one on Saturday.. 3 months after I bought it, the seals are blown. Junk, in my opinion, but while it worked, it made good coffee.
