   The machine was wet out of the box. I cleaned it and plugged it in, then I ran it m with just water and this brown stuff came out. This thing is used and falsely advertised as new. The only support option is a return or to call Hamilton Beach customer service during the day. I’ll have to process a return but what big a waste of time. Also. It’s as loud as my garbage disposal.

   This espresso maker is very compact; because it is so narrow, it really doesn’t take up much space on the counter. It brews a perfect espresso or lungo in no time at all. Personally, we prefer our espresso without adding sugar or other additives, but you could use this to make cappuccino, lattes, etc. It was easy to clean, quick to set up, and crazy fast to be ready to brew. I really like that you could literally turn it on and brew your beverage in just a few minutes. Please buy the original capsules only to use with this machine. This machine will be used often, highly recommend. I hope that this helps.

   I wanted to add something extra to our employee break room. I have a coffee machine coming in, but this little espresso machine is perfect. Anyone who likes espressos can easily make their own to get their day started. Good brand at a good price.

   I used a Philips 4300 LatteGo coffee maker for a few years before giving up on the complexity and going back to a Keurig machine due to its simplicity. So when I saw this I thought it might give me the ability to do something a bit more premium, without having to deal with the large Philips style machine. This machine is compact and simple – it’s about half the size of my Keurig machine. It has a small water reservoir on the back, which is good for quite a few espresso shots. There are only three controls on the whole machine. A power switch on the back right, and a small and large (lungo) serving button on the front. That’s it. You can adjust the size of the servings through a “press and hold” sequence that isn’t explained well in the manual. The standard lingo serving is too big for my little espresso cups, but the opening on the front of the machine is too small for a standard coffee cup – so that makes it difficult to use. The machine was finicky to get going – the first time I used it the pump ran and ran but it wasn’t drawing any water. I had to run the machine twice without any pod, then twice with a pod, and then it finally started to work properly. Anyway, yeah – it makes a good espresso. If that’s what you want, then this fits the bill. If you want anything with frothed or steamed milk, you have to do that separately. If you want coffee, you can’t do that. If you want literally anything other than espresso, this isn’t the machine for you. So if you are a lazy espresso drinker, this is the machine for you. 🙂

   I like this espresso maker, but not quite as much as the nespresso brand coffee maker I’ve tried. It brews a smaller cup and less creamy than the nespresso, while using the same pods. It still tastes great and with a milk frother makes a great latte at home. Much easier to use than a legit espresso maker because of the pods. I like that it discards the pods into the machine when you’re done and i just have to empty that bin about once a week. For the price point this works well and does the job easy in the morning! The directions state to wash parts then do 1 run with just water. I suggest at least 3 runs of just water to get the plastic smell out!

   Espresso machine is narrow and very well made. Doesn’t take up a lot of counter space. Easy to use, and makes a great cup of espresso.

   I’ve been shopping for a expresso machine for sometime as I have never had an expresso machine. I found the Nespresso option which is nice because I don’t have to do all the extra work. However I did look at numerous Nespresso machines and from various reviews I decided to try this one. Added bonus this one was cheaper than the other options! The machine is super easy to set up and figure out of the box. Good quality material. And it makes delicious expresso! It is a little noisy if you are worried about that however when researching other machines I believe they are louder. (Videos show them sounding like an airplane) Anyways! If you are looking for a Nespresso machine I’d recommend this one! Note For Improvement For A Newer Model: Make it height adjustable. The short space between the brew head and the drip tray is pretty small and doesn’t allow a lot of versatility to make various drinks without having to pour the expresso into a different cup.

    Awesome little espresso maker for the money. It looks really nice and doesn’t take up much space at all. It takes Nespresso original pods, at least that’s what I’ve been using. It brews really fast and it is very quiet as well. If you like espresso at home but don’t want to spend a fortune go for this one. It works well and makes a super fast cup of espresso. 5/5!

    So far we are loving our espresso maker. The first thing I did was order Nespresso cups for it. Please note that it only takes the original cups, not the new rounded ones. I also ordered a milk frother for it. Best thing ever. Now I can make espresso drinks that are just as tasty as their coffee shop counterparts for a fraction of the cost. The machine has a small footprint so doesn’t take up a lot of counterspace which is nice. I did take a star off for two things. One is the weird electric smell that happens every time you use it. I think it’s from the heating element which must get extremely hot because this thing heats up water fast. The second is that you have to put the capsule in before you put a cup under the spout. Otherwise, when you push the handle down to seat the capsule, old espresso will dribble into your cup. That’s just yucky. Otherwise I love this machine.

    cafetera de cápsula nespresso sirve café al instante tamaño de porción programable aunque muy pequeña un detalle que tienes que verificar que la cápsula sea de medida nespresso yo intenté insertar una cápsula Dolcegusto y no le quedo
    

15. Ashley Kenney Verified Buyer – 7 March 2025

    So I really like this espresso maker. I like that I can just buy the capsules and insert them. One real cool thing is after you use the expresso cups when you lift The top of the capsules automatically fall to the bottom you just pull out and dispose of them. One thing I don’t like is that It does not have a milk frother on here and it does not have the option where I can Just add coffee myself without the capsules. I do think I’ve seen where you can buy the reusable nespresso cups which I believe would work on this so I will try that and hopes that that works just as well as the capsules.

    It’s OK – picked it up in a pinch while my Breville is under repair. Creama is weak with this, and lots of grounds make their way into your cup. It’s cheaply made plastic, but about what you expect for the money. It’s getting me through my crisis of the Breville being out of commission! I’ll donate this to the work break room once I am back in action on the good machine.

    Like many, I love coffee of all sorts and Nespresso is perfect for when you want something extra rich! For this, I picked up Hamilton Beach’s Espresso Machine that is compatible with Nespresso pods. This machine is pretty cool. You have a 22 oz water reservoir in back and allows you to use a single pod at a time. Once you lift handle and insert pod, select from a small or large espresso shot. The smaller the shot, the more potent it is! My personal go to is a double of the larger shot as it is more similar to an Americano, my personal favorite! Clean up is easy. The machine shuts down on its own and I empty the remaining water from the water reservoir. You don’t have to empty, but I prefer to put in fresh water each morning. There is a front drawer to open where the discarded capsule pods go and can easily be emptied into the trash. This is an easy machine to use and appreciate!!

    

18. Lex Verified Buyer – 10 March 2025

    I really wanted to like this machine. I gave it a fair trial before returning, due to what I consider being defective. Some things I will mention, other reviewers talk about as well. First, it does have a strong melting plastic type smell from the inside. The smell is coming directly from where the pod goes. Even after multiple water only cycles and coffee cycles, the smell remains. I have a vertuo machine, and there is no plastic smell. Secondly, there were always grounds in my espresso. I think the mechanism was punching the capsule too hard and causing grounds to go in the cup. That is the only thing I can think of because I would run just water through my machine after each capsule. So when a new capsule would go in, there would be no leftover coffee grounds in the machine. My vertuo machine does not put grounds in the coffee, maybe like 4 specks, but that’s it. Using a flashlight, I could see where the grounds were after brewing. For these reasons, it had to go back. A machine that costs over $100 should not smell like melting plastic, nor should it deposit coffee grounds into your expensive espressos/lattes. The one pro of this machine that it did brew hotter than the nespresso machines do. This machine was also easy to use and maintain. Like I said, I really wanted to like it and keep it, but it did not work right in my opinion.

    Very impressed at first. Made a great expresso For a few months. Then just stop working. Machine does not puncture holes in the pod to Run water through. Very disappointed looking for a new machine.
    

20. Krystle Lawhorne Verified Buyer – 1 April 2025

    I used to buy Starbucks every day before I purchased this machine. I love how compact, durable, easy to use, and quality of the espresso. There are adjustable settings for each cup which is perfect for matching everyone’s taste. If your machine leaks it’s most likely due to the water tank not being properly placed.

    

21. Dee Verified Buyer – 3 April 2025

    Beautiful and well made. Easy to use right out of the box. Have bought many other Hamilton Beach products and have always been impressed with the quality and ingenuity. Uses Nespresso and Nespresso compatible capsules only. (This machine is better than Nespresso)

    Beautiful coffee maker. It has an excellent price-quality ratio. You can see the quality in the materials.

    

23. Water leaking from the back Verified Buyer – 5 April 2025

    The coffee machine is functional, but a major issue arises from water leaking at the back. The container holding the water tends to unseal from the machine, resulting in leakage. It lacks a clip to securely hold it in place. Consequently, the container gradually moves up and pops out, causing leaks. I suggest the company re-engineer the product to ensure proper sealing of the water container, preventing any leaks. I had to use a rubber band to secure the water container and prevent it from leaking.

    I use this in my classroom all day! I use the original pods from Nespresso and this machine is so easy to use and budget friendly! I love it. It’s a little noisy at first but, takes only a few minutes and I have a beautiful beverage. Good deal!
