This Cuisinart espresso maker I purchased less than two months ago makes a great cup of coffee. I've decided, though, I want something a little more automated, so I am parting with this at much less than the current retail price. Most of its three year warranty remains, of course. It also includes these extras: a free 12 oz. (355 ml) milk frother pitcher for making cappuccinos and Americanos and a package of 14 Barzula coffee pods (coffee pods are essentially the espresso version of tea bags and they make espresso making faster and more convenient).
