Amazon.com Product Description
Housed in durable plastic with brushed metal accents, this compact 15-bar pump-driven espresso machine makes it easy to enjoy consistently rich, smooth espresso, topped with a thick crema. The unit features a durable stainless-steel broiler, and its unique dual-function filter accommodates both E.S.E. pods and ground espresso. To improve the extraction of rich coffee flavor, use the included coffee tamper to compress the grounds, then twist the tamper slightly to polish the surface of the grounds. The semi-automatic appliance allows for choosing between a small or large cup, and its easy-to-use control dial offers steam, off, preheat, and brew selections. For excellent cappuccinos, the espresso maker's variable steam control and steam nozzle mixes steam and milk to create a rich, creamy froth. Other highlights include a removable 5-cup water tank for simple filling, power/function indicator lights, a cup-warming surface on top, and a removable drip tray. The espresso machine measures approximately 11 by 14 by 12 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

Poor quality
Light usage over the course of a year. The handle puled a part from the metal cup that holds the espresso beans. I would not recommend this for anyone that wants to get more than say 40 espressos out of their machine. Up until this point, I was relatively happy with it's performance and design.

Great Machine Until it Breaks
I had this machine for about eight months. I drink espresso nearly every day (yes I know...I have a problem). The Farberware machine was great until most recently the handle separated from the metal dish that holds the coffee beans. I called technical support and the lady whom I spoke with informed me that the part was discontinued and that I could not get a replacement part, even if I wanted to purchase it. The only solution offered was that if I had a receipt, she could provide me with a comparable machine. This thing was a gift from my mother... Where o where could that receipt be?

Humorously, I can still use the machine by twisting the metal container into the housing without the wand. It does still work, but talk about shoddy. Great machine...poor ingenuity on the wand.

farberware espresso machine a pile of junk
Quit working after the second cup. Very difficult to steam milk because of the room to place the milk holder. Your are not provided with a cup or receptacle for the milk. It is very procedure oriented to make the espresso and messy after doing so. Forget this machine and look elsewhere. :-{
