We’ve had this machine for about a month now. It’s a little snug, but possible, to use two regular-sized round mugs. The lid on the water tank makes it a little awkward to fill it from the dispenser in my refrigerator door. Other than those trifles, I have no complaints. It looks cool, it makes good coffee, and the steaming wand has adjustable intensity, which I like. I like the built-in tamper, too: one fewer thing to be hanging around on my counter.

Rancilio Espresso Machines Hot Tips
Very nice product Very resonable Price And fast shipping If i need to replace this one i will buy from them again.
There is a very negative review, so if was not for Amazon’s free shipping we might not have purchased this. Thank goodness for that offer, our office likes it. Main benefit, the plastic and metal means we do not worry about breaking it in everyday use. One of the reasons we needed to get a new one! It appears to scald on the bottom but we had that same problem with glass. This design is suited for us with a group of users but no one really taking responsibility.
Here’s the scenario: I work in a small lab with about 6-10 coffee drinkers, half of which drink coffee throughout the day, myself included. We have an old Bunn commercial coffee maker with a top and bottom burner, making up to 5-8 pots A DAY. It’s on, never shut off from 7AM to 5PM, weekends too though not always. So if you’re a restaurant owner or an office like mine, reconsider this product by Bunn–a big disappointment from a company that usually gets it right. I regularly make the coffee and wash it out by hand, with soap and hot water (most days) before shutting it off for the day. I also try not to let old coffee sit too long and burn on the bottom in between each new pot.
Here’s the product’s claims:
*”Full 64 ounce capacity.”–yes.
*”Drip-proof, fast pouring lip”–yes, and a nice feature.
*”Container and handle core are clear, high-impact-resistant material — all molded as sturdy, extra-strength, one piece construction for longest life.”–Sorta: see below
*”Base is high quality stainless steel.”–NO: see below
*”The Bunn 6100 is the classic black-handled coffee decanter seen in restaurants the world over.”–No: see below
The old version of this replacement decanter had worked for months but it was a different model but I couldn’t find it, so I went ahead and bought this one, which looked and sounded even better. For the first few weeks, we all liked it a lot. The handle was ergonomical and comfortable, the lip was narrow for fast dripless pouring, and if someone accidentally filled above the line for the water pitcher that came with the coffee maker, no matter, it was tall enough to accommodate an over zealous coffee maker and have an overflow of precious coffee. Seemed great.
BUT IT’S NOT!
–Hi-impact resistant, sturdy with that pinch of extra-strength for rough handlers? Sure, to a degree. It was nice to not worry it’s crack if someone got careless and banged it against something.
–One piece construction? I don’t think so–the clear part is hard plastic with a “high quality base made of stainless steel” bottom and obviously isn’t one piece construction. It leaked at the seal between the plastic top and metal bottom; and this high-quality base quickly weakened and even flaked metal flecks. Are you kiddng me?
–If this coudln’t last a small lab/office for only a few months, how could a restaurant or offices with heavy coffe drinkers??? If you use this exact product for only a couple of hours a day, for a very small group of people, it’s perfect–of course it’ll be great. But when it’s got the Bunn name and claim that it’s long-lasting and tough enough for restaurants…I took their word for it. However, anyone using it all day, all the time, heavy use…think twice.
So, for twenty-five bucks (’cuz that’s what *I* paid)…you get a product that lasted from July 2009 to Nov 2009–that’s only five months. I like Bunn products, which is why I bought their full glass carafe for only thirteen bucks. The glass might not be stainles steel and hard plastic (a good very thing in my case), and even though it’ll stain I can clean it out with soap and hot water or vinegar for when there a weeks I only have time to give it a good rinse and leave it be–unlike the full plastic or this Bunn 6100 version (or others like it), which stains and weakens the overall integrity of the product quickly and is impossible to clean out because the mouth is so narrow for that dripless pouring.
I don’t know what product everyone else got, but my Bunn 6100 Easy Pour Replacement Decanter in Black was as BUST! Get the glass version which takes away all the problems I had with this replacement carafe at half the cost.
I use mine at home and at family events to make coffee for everyone. It still works perfectly after about 10 years of use! After brewing coffee, I usually pour it into a vacuum insulated carafe to avoid burning the coffee. A quick rinse with hot water, leave the carafe to dry and it’s ready the next day when I get to it.
I have had this coffee maker for over four years, and today, it stopped working. We never had any problems with it. It satisfied our home coffee and latte needs! We brewed regular coffee every or atleast every other morning for more than four years, and made espresso a few times a month. One of the best coffee machines I have ever owned, except today it died with out warning. Although the light does come on, the water is not heated. Again, aside from the sudden failure after fours years+ this was a great machine.
We received this coffee maker from our wedding registry 3 years ago. I wish we’d done more research before picking it. The covers for the on lights broke off a long time ago, the heating plate is irreparably charred no matter how much I try to clean it, and it has never produced a very hot cup of coffee. The final straw is that its now exploding grounds out the side of the machine every other day despite all my attempts to clean, adjust, change the thickness of the grounds, etc. I have to keep dismantling the whole filter assembly to try and clean it out then attempt to wedge the cheap plastic parts back together. It seems obvious to me now that an all plastic machine simply isn’t going to hold up to long term daily use. The replacement is on the way.
If you don’t know what you’re doing, and want to make an espresso-like or cappuccino-like beverage for yourself, this will probably do the trick for you. If you have experience, or plan to make drinks for more than one person, save up for a better machine. As a former barista, I was disappointed with the “cappuccino” side of this machine. It does not make real layered espresso, just a stronger type of coffee, despite what some other reviewers mentioned about “crema”. (Side note – if you can let your espresso sit for more than 10 seconds without the layers re-blending and resulting in a bitter taste, it’s not real espresso.) The steam wand leaves much to be desired, although removing the froth aid (the removable black sleeve) does improve things drastically, as the froth aid creates GIANT bubbles, nearly triples the volume of milk, and heats unevenly, if at all. Still, it was awkward to maneuver a steaming pitcher (NOT INCLUDED) in the limited space between the counter & the machine, and I still only get a thin separated layer of foam on the top with the steam wand itself, adequate for a latte, not for cappuccino. This is a single boiler/dual use unit, so you cannot steam milk and pull pretend-espresso at the same time, which was annoying for me being accustomed to a dual boiler machine that allowed me to time everything perfectly, although because the espresso is really just coffee, it didn’t matter as much. Plus, you can only steam enough milk for one, MAYBE two drinks at a time, and you can only pull 4 “shots of espresso” (which makes 4 weak drinks or 2 strong drinks), then you have to clean out the machine and start over, so don’t expect to make espresso beverages for a whole party of people. It will take you a VERY long time, it takes about 5 minutes to make one drink (or two if you’re lucky) start to finish, not counting clean up. No espresso tools are included, so be prepared if you want to make a “cappuccino” right out of the box, buy your steaming pitcher & thermometer (if you use one) before you plan to make your first drink. You might also want to consider getting a knock box, because even though you’re not making real espresso, you will end up with a puck in your portafilter that is a pain & a mess to get out otherwise. All in all, I wouldn’t really recommend this machine to anyone who wants real espresso beverages. And if all you really want is coffee, spend less money on a plain old coffee machine. You can even buy an inexpensive stand-alone milk steamer, and use your coffee machine to make stronger coffee, and you’ll get better results than this machine. Thumbs down.
i had an older one of these several years ago that i recently retired because of internal leaking. the new coffee maker is fine. the main difference is that the pot is better than the old one. the old one couldnt pour from the spout without dribbling everywhere. i havent tried the espresso yet, but that was fine in the old one.
My wife & I have had several coffee/espresso makers over 30 years. We were coffee drinkers before it became popular here in the greater Seattle area. However, this is the most I have ever spent on a coffee/espresso maker. We have had this espresso machine now since January 2010, today is June 1, 2010. A period of time with everyday use is the best judge of any product. This product takes very little skill to make a great cup of coffee, easy to use, easy to clean. After the first week, we placed our drip coffee maker in storage. We thought at first we would use both drip/espresso coffee makers. Forget it! Ditch the drip machine! This machine makes as good or better espresso than what we can buy from our local coffee stand. I have made cofffee/espresso for friends & relatives and they like the coffee way better than drip. We never spent over $100 on a machine until we bought this, but if you like coffee it is well worth the expense for the latte’s this machine produces. Use a fine grind for best results.
If you make regular stops for coffee (we never have) you could pay for this in 5 months. That is; 5 coffee stops a week X 20 average a month X $3 a cup = $60. Cost to buy $299 divided by 60 = 5 months. For a single stop for 1 person a day, so double the benifit for 2 people makes the break even point in 2 1/2 months.
I highly recomend this great product.
This machine is a clunky, poorly built, waste of money. I’ve owned it for about a year and a half and am desperately in search of a new machine. The “semi automatic” tamper works only about half the time. The other times it allows the fresh brew to dump into the waste box. The gear on the top rusts after about 6 months or so, causing constant scraping and cleaning to be required. Additionally, the frothing arm is WAY too short to work in a reasonable size frothing cup, and it only heats (to 160 deg.) one cup (8 oz.) of milk at a time; and only AFTER you brew coffee – so forget about making hot chocolate.
I have tried to make this machine work well and ‘tweak’ how I make coffee to have minimal hassle, but this machine is flatly too poorly designed to work well constantly. Don’t waste your money.
Our machine broke four times within the first few months with careful use. Customer service is rude (Mr. Rodriguez, Colleen,…) and refuses to send replacement while the machine is being repaired yet again. If you’re not prepared to go two week stretches without coffeemaker, then do NOT buy this machine.
ive had this machine for 3 years… the first one i got had a defective frother and they sent me a new machine.. then it worked pretty well until the frother died on me again and it was no longer covered under warranty. so i had to buy a stand alone frother. then recently the turning mechanism broke on me.. it just popped right off and its about 100 dollars to fix.. im replacing it with a nespresso machine.
but during the time the espresso machine was working it tasted great.
I am more than disappointed with the Forever expresso Inow 6 cup expresso maker. I purchased from Amazon. The gasket does not fit securely and the metal piece the coffee comes up through crinkled the very first time I used.I have to strain the grounds out of my expresso. I emailed the company with no response. My last pot lasted 29 years and has just now wore out after using it daily.
I spent a lot of time looking at the reviews of different stovetop espresso makers, and settled on this one. I have only brewed a few pots with it so far, but everything seems to work fine. It does require some care since the filter basket is thin, but I can’t see that being a problem.
This seemed like a good mid-range option. Not the super expensive things nor the cheap-ass aluminum coffee makers. I’m aware that things get overblown by the press, but even the scientific literature seems to have issues with coffee leaching aluminum from cookware into the beverage (e.g. “The effect of beverage preparation method on aluminium content in coffee infusions”, J. Inorganic Biochemistry, one of my favorite magazines). Just avoiding aluminum altogether seems like a good option. Though I wouldn’t go so far as one reviewer and call this “eco” anything. It’s made in a plant powered by dirty coal, so our skies and souls will carry a stain from this product, as with most others.
I would give this 5 stars but, as others have noted for similar products, Amazon is misleading in their advertisement of this as an Italian appliance. Sure the parent company appears to be based in Italy, but this is manufactured in China. The quality seems fine in any case, though if it deteriorates quickly I’ll post a new review.
I had often wished we could make espresso at home but the machines are big and bulky, and the ones that work cost nearly $1000. So I was surprised when we went to friends’ house and were offered espresso from a pot.
Their pot was aluminum, though, and I don’t like aluminum because I can taste it in some foods and I am wary of the safety of containers I can taste. But I looked up espresso pots on Amazon and – yay! – found a stainless steel one! But – darn! – its ratings showed it to be poorly made. I kept looking and found this one way down the list, and it didn’t have bad ratings. I bought it, and have found it to be well-made and easy to use. I recommend it! The info on this page where I am typing my review says it’s a “6-cup espresso maker.” I’d have sworn mine was listed as a 4-cup maker; it makes a little more than 4 demitasses full.
AS a student, my budget is razor thin and daily doses of Starbucks Mocha Lattes is simply not an option. Now as a student about to graduate, I need caffeine more than ever! LOL.
So, to save both time and money, I went in search of an Espresso maker. Since I am also an ardent fan of Cafe Cubano, I automatically thought of stovetop units. However, I did NOT want to use an aluminum unit due to growing health concerns. So, I looked for stainless steel makers and came across this beauty!
Not only is this made of indestructible and truly healthy 18/8 stainless steel, it is beautifully designed with sleek curves and a modern feel! And it is made in Italy, so it comes with a certain air and expectation of authenticity.
This unit is not just beauty. It functions without a flaw! I have made countless cups at this point and have not been disappointed yet. In fact, I am making Mocha Lattes that put Starbucks to shame and all for pennies on the dollar!
Overall, I very highly recommend this Espresso Maker! If you drink a lot of coffee, this unit will pay for itself within 2 weeks! And I fully expect this unit to last for quite some time, so I’ll be enjoying 5 cent coffee throughout my post-grad education!
I purchased this so I could make perfect espresso at work. (I am picky.) It survived me boiling it dry when I forgot I was making one of those “make a few & throw away” initial pots. Duh! Then it took a couple tries to perfect hotplate heat (I’m used to gas) + coffee amount, etc., but now it makes perfect shots. So I’m buying a second one to replace my other home maker (different brand) that broke in the meantime. (It wasn’t defective. It had a long, happy life. We all wear out sometime.) The Inox may not be as cute as the $90 models, but it’s a hard worker.
