Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mr. Coffee ECMP40 Pod Pump Espresso & Cappuccino Maker
Customer Review: Good for what it's worth
Summary: 4 Stars
So far I have had the machine for about a month. My friend helped me set things up and make the first few drinks. She has an Illy machine and said this machine makes the same or better steamed/frothed milk and brews great drinks!!!!! I'll say this machine can make a much better espresso drink than all the drive thru places nearby. It took me some practice to get good at frothing the milk, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy and kind of fun. Be careful to turn off the steaming button when you are done with it...it can make the machine get too hot otherwise if you are going to make another shot of espresso........
For me this has been a good machine for the money. So far no problems. I didn't expect it to perform like a $500 machine,& am pleasantly surprised at how it can make a really good drink.
Customer Review: Good performance - poor support
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had the EMP40 for a week and had an initial problem with not being able to froth milk. I tried telephone support first, but the person I talked with knew nothing about the machine and just wasted my time. My emails were not responded to. As it turned out the problem was simple to fix. The steam nozzle inside the black frother was not screwed into the wand. Once I fixed that the frothing went very well. I really enjoy the espresso and cappuccino drinks the machine produces. I'd rate it five stars if Sunbeam support acted like the cared.Customer Review: Love it!

I use this all the time to get my Starbucks fix without the expensive price tag. It works great! I have had no problems with it whatsoever and makes a great latte!Customer Review: WASTE OF TIME
Summary: 1 Stars
This was the worst machine ever and leaked from the first time it was used. I used to own $20 steam espresso maker and it worked better than this one. In fact I owned the cheap one for 3+ years and gave it away before it wore out. Don't waste the time setting it up and cleaning it up to take it back. Customer Review: Needs redesign
Summary: 1 Stars
This machine needs major overhaul in design. In our case, the steam valve fell apart at about six months use. Also, the coffee seal leaked badly after an even shorter amount of time. This is unfortunate, because it made really good espresso.
