Price
So far have only removed from the box. The price and features are good. There were no instructions manual and it would have been nice to have a stainless steel cup for the brother.

Good intro to espresso
I’ve been obsessed with my machine since I got it about a month ago, but I started encountering issues with preheating

Quit Working
I have had this unit for 4 months and use it occasionally about once a week and this morning turned it on and the water would not dispense. I’ve made sure everything is clean and no blockage. Just turns on and no water comes out very disappointing to spend money and didn’t even last a year.

Good Price, Poor functionality
Pressure does not get to 1/3 of dial, no numbers. You cannot steam milk without making espresso. Milk always froths no mater the setting. Ugly retro design

junk
the steam wand leaks constantly even when not pressing the steam button. there is no indicator on how much you are dispensing, you need to use a clear glass to get any idea. the water dispenses fairly lukewarm. the steam/nosteam knob is plastic, feels like it will break at any moment.

Love It!
We have been making pour over coffee. I made my first espresso as soon as the the HB Slide & Lock was delivered. I used the same coffee I had been using for my pour over. What a huge difference! The crema was such a surprise. I used the frothing wand on the regular creamer we use which completely elevated the flavor. I love the water reservoir. It's so easy and quick to make individual espressos in the morning.

Mighty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is small and mighty. This is a great addition to my coffee station. I can enjoy my espresso or make lattes at home. The machine was easy to set up and easy to use. It is so nice to have the frother attached to the machine and I can warm my milk up as hot as I like. This will make a great addition for anyone that wants to take their coffee to another level.

Issues with Espresso
Espresso 40730 make good espresso, but has not been reliable. Followed many troubleshooting recommendations, but unit is no longer working to make good coffee. Have been very disappointed.

Awesome
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We made a great coffee bar for the Slide and Lock Espresso Maker. It is so easy to use and clean. It's compact and fits well on the counter. Love the design and functions. Frothing milk is easy and great. We seriously have used this espresso machine evry day since we received it. The coffee tastes wonderful and reminds me so much of Italy. We absolutely love it and recommend getting one as soon as possible.

Stop goin to overpriced coffee shops.Make your own
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A good little powerhouse of a maker. This works really nicely to make a grood cup of espresso, latte, etc. It does what you need it to do. It does take a little time to figure it out, but after you do it gives you that special drink you get at the coffee shops. For anyone who loves those types of coffee drinks, you should get this. Somedays I make a latte in the morning, and espresso after lunch. The dial makes it strong as you would like it. You cannot tamp the coffee down too hard or it wont work properly. Just a simple tapping down is all you need to do. I like that it has two drip makers at the same time. That really helps instead of making one at a time for multiple people, or to make a larger latte or cappachino. The foamer is pretty simple to use. You just need to figure out which milk, creamer, etc that you like best in it. Just make sure to clean it after use, or the milk will make it turn sour and spoil in it. Overall, this is a pretty sturdy machine. I hope it lasts a while. It will be great to use in the winter around the holidays too.

Small but Mighty, Best a special machine right now
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Products is absolutely amazing. With its compact design, you can put it almost anywhere. The Hamilton Beach espresso maker is so very easy to clean. I personally like the large water tank in the back, bigger than most. It makes some of the bestest espresso!!! So easy to you, even my thirteen year old daughter can you it!

Cappucino heaven
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the ease of the slide lock. It doesn’t take hardly any strength to slide it in order to brew the perfect cup of joe. I love that I can make two one shot espresso cups or one two shot espresso. It took a little to get used to the steam/frother but finally think I got it down. My absolute favorite to make is a two shot espresso cappucino with homemade french vanilla creamer, pinch of cinnamon and a drizzle of caramel. Then topped with a little foam. Clean up is a breeze. Machine is small and doesn’t take up a lot of counter space. I do wish the water reservoir was a bit bigger and that the steam dial wasn’t on the side. Still amazing product.

Best espressos!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is very good quality and solid. The instructions were very helpful and straightforward. The slide and lock action is nice and smooth. The frother is easy to use and adds a great touch to be included with this machine. Overall, the Hamilton Beach Slide & Lock Espresso Maker is a wonderful item. We enjoy morning lattes now and friends and family love this as well.

Small but mighty.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am seriously impressed with this little compact machine. Heats up perfectly and produces a decent amount of crema. I was looking for an inexpensive alternative because I misplaced my espresso machine when moving. Aside from the awesome performance, it is a cute retro looking machine. Frother works perfectly as well.

Love this, perfect size
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this espresso machine. The size is perfect, it's not too bulky and it fits on my counter perfectly, and it looks really pretty too. The quality of the espresso is just as good as more expensive models, and the milk frother works great too. I'm sad it didn't come with a little espresso glass, but it came with all other needed accessories, so I'm happy!

No more expensive coffee stops for me!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love, love, love this machine! Coffee and coffee frother are amazing. Easy to use and quick to use. Make my latte every morning and save lots of money. Love that I can also make shots and turn them into yummy iced coffee drinks. I just bought some coffee syrups and now I can do all the drinks that I used to purchase.

Seriously Easy and So Cool!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a really awesome machine. Very easy to set up and get started with. I always thought that to make espresso you needed a huge fancy machine, but this is just as good as any other espresso I have had. Very easy to make and more importantly to clean! I am making espresso most days now and having fun doing it! I should get another one of these for the office!

I love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I mean it's a Hamilton Beach coffee maker what is not to love?! lol! It has so many added features which makes it even better. The only downfall is that it can be a little tricky to figure out and to work because there is so much to it. I do like the fact that it is pretty much a one stop shop and you can do/get everything you want all in one machine. Definitely would buy this one again!
