Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

BEWARE. This item is only for occasional use during travel. if used daily it will not likely last more than a few months. Mine no longer pushes water through properly and pressure just builds inside the canister (and eventually pushes water up inside the walls of the water reservoir... with no obvious way to get that water back out I can only imagine how disgusting that stagnant water must be!) I have thoroughly cleaned the unit (see my complaints about that below) so the issue is not simply a matter of it needing to be cleaned. Okay, so a thorough cleaning of the unit is awful. The top where the coffee exists is so difficult and laborious to take apart and put back together that you will be inclined to never clean it that thoroughly! And that would be a mistake, because coffee residue builds up inside there and can mold! This device is a cool idea, and I loved it while it worked. But they really need to reconsider the design and make it more user serviceable. I cannot recommend this if you like to frequently make espresso shots. You are probably better off buying a small machine then spending $50 on this thing.
