Title: Disappointed
Product review: I ordered this machine based on glowing recommendations and had pretty high expectations. It was bigger than I imagined, and showed a few areas of obvious cost-cuttingÑmostly on the coffee maker side. I first tried making cappucino, and it quickly and easily made two lukewarm cups. Next, I tried to set it up to make coffee the next morning. Since it doesn't have external water level markings, I had to use the carafe to measure the water. As I was starting to pour the water, the handle partially popped off, spilling water all over the counter. Luckilly it wasn't full of hot coffee! Braun coffee makers have a similar handle design, but they seem to be firmly glued on rather than clipped on like the Krups. That coupled with other cheaply made components got this coffee maker a trip back to Amazon.
