Cuisinart EM-15 Defined Espresso Machine, Black

Finally, great espresso at home!

I bought this for my morning latte. It makes a nice shot, but the capsule system is a little odd. Overall, it works well for the price.

I've used espresso machines for over forty years, from simple stovetop units to commercial ones. This Cuisinart is surprisingly capable for its size. The pressure is consistent, and the crema is decent. It heats up quickly, and the automatic capsule ejection is a nice touch. I wish the water tank were a bit larger, but for a small machine, it does exactly what it claims. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a simple way to make espresso without taking up much counter space.

This espresso machine is cute and works great! I love that it's so compact.

Too many buttons.

I never thought I'd be able to make café-quality cortados at home. This machine made it happen. It's so simple to use, and it looks beautiful on my counter. The espresso is rich and smooth, and the whole process is fast enough for weekday mornings. My only complaint is that it can be loud, but that's a minor issue when you get this result. Highly recommend to any coffee lover.

I purchased this for my office. It brews a consistent shot and the capsule ejection works well. The only downside is that it only takes Cuisinart capsules, which are a bit pricey, but the quality is good. I'm satisfied with the purchase.

Love it so much!

We take this everywhere in our motorhome. It's compact and durable. We've used it almost daily for three months and it hasn't skipped a beat. The espresso tastes fantastic, and cleanup is a breeze. It's a bit heavy for its size, but that's the price of solid construction. We're very happy with our purchase.

This machine does what it says. I like the programmability, though I don't use all the options. The espresso is better than I expected. It's easy to clean. I recommend it for someone who wants a decent espresso without the expense of a high-end machine.

The machine makes okay espresso, but I really don't like the capsule system. It feels wasteful. Also, the water tank is too small.

This little machine has changed my mornings. I wake up, pop in a capsule, and within a minute I have a perfect espresso. It's so simple that even my teenager can use it. The design is elegant and doesn't clutter my kitchen. I've already recommended it to three friends. If you're on the fence, just get it—you won't regret it.

Good espresso, but noisy.

I live in a tiny apartment with limited counter space. This espresso machine fits perfectly and doesn't compromise on performance. The shots are rich and full-bodied. The automatic ejection is a genius feature—no more wrestling with used capsules. I also like that the drip tray is easy to remove. Highly recommend this for anyone short on space.

At first I was confused by all the settings, but after reading the manual, it's easy. Makes great espresso.
