Hamilton Beach 40792: Experience Espresso Excellence – Latte, Cappuccino, and Milk Frother, 15 Bar Italian Pump, Single Cup Brewer in Black & Stainless Review

Love this espresso machine Great value! It heats up quickly so you can be making coffee or lattes in no time! There is a water tank that can be removed for filling or cleaning. It comes with an espresso grind ramp. I decided to buy a separate milk jug and thermometer (it is recommended to froth milk in a mug, but I prefer a jug). I took a thermometer to make sure the milk was the right temperature (doesn't burn my mouth / doesn't burn). I also bought two espresso shots - not all mugs/cups fit…

Low price, easy to use, easy to clean, aromatic espresso and healthy foam. Many buyers believe that for a good espresso you first need the most expensive espresso machine. That is not right! First of all you need good coffee (read the book by Antonio Verona / @Revain "Espresso Making Perfection"). Since I don't have time to roast and grind coffee, I just order coffee from Italy -> Lavazza brand (also available at @Revain). When I put the coffee grounds in the metal "jar" holder, I fill a…

Bought this for my dad as a retirement present; we both use it daily. I chose this particular model because the portafilter doesn't have to be rotated and inserted manually like most espresso machines. You simply insert it and pull the handle: very simple. He has arthritis in his hands and I knew he would appreciate a more streamlined process. The machine works great with both ground coffee and ESE pods - we've used both with no issues. All of our shots have good body and thick foam. I removed…

For years I have used Krupps, earlier Hamilton Beach models and for the last ten years I have stayed with Delonghi, although the pumps were weak and failed after about 18 months. I read the reviews on this device and decided to give it a try after my Delonghi pump broke. It makes an excellent cup of espresso! Extraction is great. A rich crema every time thanks to the superior design of the espresso filter and espresso filter holder. The unique espresso filter holder clip demonstrates Hamilton…

Very disappointed. Over the years I have purchased many inexpensive pump espresso machines. My main finding was that the smaller models last about a year if you drink a lot of espresso. So I consider them disposable and expect to lose about $100 each year or if I'm lucky and the unit breaks before the warranty expires I might get a replacement and get almost a two year discount on my original purchase . Together with my wife we fill around 1500 cups a year which seems to be the life cycle of…

The Hamilton Beach 40792 has some commendable qualities aside from making a decent espresso. I use a carafe from an old machine to make about 4 servings (oz) in the morning. The espresso might not be as rich as store-bought espresso, but not bad. It outperforms cheaper espresso machines with a removable, clear water tank at the back, allowing you to brew multiple drinks before needing to be refilled. The manual warns that running the machine without water will damage it. I like the ease of use,
