Melitta Espresso Cappuccino Machine
Love this Cappuccino Machine. I will admit that I don't use it to froth milk. The whole process of frothing milk on an amateur machine is too much work and clean-up for me -- I simply use a dedicated milk frother in the microwave. But for brewing a cup of espresso that tastes right, uses your own ground coffee beans and allows for a very generous amount of beans used, is fairly fast and steams the grounds, this is the best machine I have used. Also have had to work with the company with a couple small defects on the product and they were apologetic and fast with the fix. The unit is also easy on the hands -- the lid, which must screw on tightly, is ribbed and an easy shape to grip, unlike other machines with smooth cone-shaped caps. The splatter factor as the espresso comes out is minimal compared to other machines. I am fully satisfied with this machine. I did not expect high-line high-priced machine performance from this low-cost machine, and I got more than I expected.

Not bad, but basic
This little machine is good for the occasional espresso/cappuccino drinker, but not a fanatic or addict. The frother does not make the best foam for a cappuccino (fine for lattes) and can get clogged if not cleaned well as soon as you're done using it. It does not come with a tamper to pack the coffee grounds in the filter (which is pretty important if you want that strong espresso kick), so you either have loose grounds or need to improvise. Overall, not a bad little machine if you want an occassional cup or are not overly-particular about your espresso drinks.
