This machine looks very nice and was built fairly well for the most part, BUT the cappaccino machine needs more steam power for the frother and the rubber piece they have over the froth wand is useless and the machine actually froths better without it. The coffee maker takes forever to brew and the pot and its lid are kind of cheap.I would NOT recommend this machine.

Product Description:
Combining modern elegance with utility and performance, this three-in-one coffee center makes 4 cups of espresso, brews up to 10 cups of coffee, and froths milk with an easy-to-use steam nozzle. The power switches for the espresso machine and the coffee machine are in the front of the unit for easy access, and its swivel-out brew basket provides added convenience. Two functions can be performed at the same time--coffee can be brewed while espresso drinks are being made, and the unit's brew-pause function allows for pouring a cup of coffee mid brew. Other helpful features include a removable cone-shaped filter basket, easy-to-read water and coffee-ground markings, and an indicator light that illuminates to show the brewing process has begun. For simple cleanup, the unit's glass coffee carafe and espresso carafe are dishwasher safe. A measuring spoon is included. Designed for household use only, the coffee center measures 13 by 13 by 11 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
