I'm hesitant to write a review so soon after receiving the machine but I have to say I'm impressed.
I've owned Rancillio, Gaggia and DeLonghi machines previously and after being used to using a professional machine I've found them all disappointing... especially when it comes to steaming milk.
I do have some reservations about the machine...
1) The plastic insert in the portafilter is not exactly the most authentic and
2) the steaming wand has a metal sheath over it with a little hole that seems designed for inexperienced users to get some kind of froth more easily. I found it useless though.
So, I ditched the metal sheath and found a pretty conventional metal steaming wand. Not the little short stubby kind that you find under Gaggia's panarello attachment either. Very pleased.
So I filled it up with water (which is stupidly easy on this machine with the removable, back-mounted resevoir) and switched on. I've not got access to a decent grinder at the minute so I can't test it properly but it has produced some pretty decent espresso's so far.
It has a manual button so you can control the flow of water yourself or there's a one cup and two cup setting like you'd expect on an automatic professional machine. The espresso appeared with a decent crema (even if the water seemed to flow a bit too freely through the coffee... need to experiment more there) and it tasted good. Not a "god shot" but it was pallatable.
When you're done making espresso, press the steam button and wait for it to heat up to temp which is quite quick. When the light stops flashing you're good to go.
Now I wasn't initially too impressed by the pressure of the steam but after a couple of trials I got a good microbubbled froth that was good enough for a bit of latte art. It also **seems** to constantly reheat to make sure there's a constant supply of steam. I've not yet run out of steam. My previous coffee machines have stuttered and stammered after a bit and the steam power drops to zero. This seems leaps and bounds ahead in comparison.
It's worth mentioning (as it's slightly unconventional) that when you turn the steam knob to the off position, the machine immediately ditches the built up steam you've not used so if you want to froth more milk straight after, you'd need to press the steam button and wait a minute to let it heat back up again. The only annoyance I've found with this is that I like to blow the milk from the wand afterwards but you can still do this with a bit of hot water rather than steam.
The machine itself is very study feeling. My Gaggia Classic had a tacky plastic drip tray whereas this has a metal one. Downside is that the metal gets hot but even so... it looks and feels much better.
The only caveat is that I need more time to experiment when I get my new grinder but so far I think this seems like the best compromise I've owned for home. It looks and acts as much like a pro machine as it can.
There's also an offer on with Cuisinart at present - you can download a form from their website and mail in your receipt to get a free burr grinder.
Very happy!

Pros: HOT coffee at last. (Taylors Rich Italian is delicious)
You can set your cup size.
Great steamer & HOT water.
Stylish push button machine that performs very well but:
Cons: Like all of these machines it's not quick especially if the whole
family want a cup of delicious coffee, you can understand why they
invented instant!
On the engineering front the coffee basket sometimes gets stuck in
the machine when you remove the basket holder. Also the tiny rubber
grommets on the drip tray tend to fall out during cleaning.
My previous machine was a Dualit which looked great but vibrated so much that the cup danced away from the coffee nozzles. Also you had to stand by the machine and stop the coffee flow manually. Coffee not as hot as the Cuisinart either.

We bought the Cuisinart coffee-maker to replace a similar Krups machine which failed after just over 3-years' use. The Cuisinart is working very well so far (we have only had it a few weeks) making good espresso coffee (nice crema, etc) very easily. It has some advantages over the Krups - the coffee-filter holder handle has a sliding clip making emptying it simpler, the drip-tray is very easy to empty (the Krups was very difficult), it has a conventional milk-frothing pipe rather than the stange plastic tube of the Krups and it looks much nicer with its stainless-steel finish.
All-in-all we like it - but will it last longer than three years - let's hope so!

Good coffee, poor build
Makes great coffee, but don't expect it to last very long - after just 2 weeks the rubber feet of the cup tray kept falling out. Eventually lost them down the sink. Read more
