Customers have mixed opinions about the temperature control of the coffee maker. Some mention that it's hot enough that it doesn't water down the milk, and it heats up quickly. However, others say that the top is plastic and doesn''t really warm up, it''s too complicated to program, and the coffee is not hot enough. The milk becomes very frothy and hot, but it'll be utterly cold if you use the warming plate on the top.

"...was that the two cup basket filter when it arrived would not properly flow water. I had to re-punch out the bottom hole in it to open it up...." Read more
"...to some degree, and towards the end of the process it tends to splatter it all over the place. One might as well just heat it in the microwave...." Read more
"...Now it leaks from under the machine - IN A HUGE PUDDLE. The drip tray is tested and intact. Something inside is just leaking...." Read more
"The steam system for milk frothing is not working consistently. The steam fades in and out and just stops...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So after mentally filtering out all the people in that first category, and then all the people at the other end who would basically be happy drinking cold coffee from the pot on friday that they brewed on monday... I came to a happy middle ground of information.
I got the non grinder version of the calphalon temp iq with the intention of ordering a separate grinder later due to height constraints in my kitchen. The machine has worked amazing so far and proved very easy to use after watching some of the intructional videos on youtube. It is very easy to clean and the milk steamer has worked flawlessly so far. If you put the steam wand in at the right angle and depth and listen for that kissing sound it comes of creamy and perfect everytime.
I also hymned and hawed over the idea of finding the right coffee beans, then the right grind setting, then tamping pressure... worrying I would mess up the esspresso and make it too bitter, not have a proper "crema," etc...
I will say right now that I put some store bought tim hortons pre ground coffee in that machine, tamped it to what seemed good to me, and went on to make the best dang latte I have ever had... on my first try! I'm sure a lot of coffee/esspessro "experts" will scoff, but comparing the cup i made (and subsequent cups) with anything I have had from starbucks, upscale resturants, and many highly rated local coffee shops that roast their own beans on site my home lattes win hands down. (granted my latte art sucks but im not making these for my eyes, plus i figure i have time to learn!)
I was blown away how easy it was and how good it was and instantly gave up any notion of needing to grind my own beans. I tell you no lie that the pour and "crema," color and everything else looked like every video i could find of esspresso and it was neither too bitter nor too watered down for my palate.
I will admit that the first time it made esspresso the pour took about 50 seconds which had me worried because it appears the ideal pour is 25-30 seconds to avoid bitter or watered down esspessro. but it tasted excellent!
Just in case it is helpful, i do drink regular coffee black, and whiskey straight so i could have a stronger palate than some which means I don't notice any wrongs in the esspresso. However my wife finds 15% abv wine to taste strongly alcoholic and says the lattes I have made for her were amazing and she is not a flatter lol.
Anyways, I love and it works amazing. Hope this helps!
All steel body and frother. Comes with tamping tool. Top of machine stays warm to keep the coffee or milk warm while you do the other thing. It is a little loud but that makes me feel like I am at the Coffee shop:)
Many folks mentioned its difficult to insert the portafilter; most likely you have filled the basket with more than optimum coffee level. I can easily insert the portafilter with 19gm but if it gets over 20 its not easy.
I have been trying to dial in the espresso for a week now; I have dark roasted espresso whole beans from Starbucks. I have a Breville smart pro grinder ... did multiple adjustments and measured my beans, grind and paid attention to the puck prep etc etc. I still keep getting a little burnt and bitter coffee out of this with good crema. I think the brew head temperature needs to be adjusted but I can't access that. For this reason I'm giving this 4 stars and I will try to buy some medium roast beans and give it a try.
Pros:
1) Price, Steam Wand, 58 mm portafilter, large water tank.
2) Good quality build and simple intuitive design
3) Fast start up ... just 30 seconds
Cons:
1) The water tank is at the back and its difficult to find the water level and there are no indicators that notify you of low water level.
2) The knob is very simple to use but its easy to skip around if you are not careful; not a big deal but its annoying. I would have preferred buttons.
3) The programming options are very minimal; only thing I could adjust is the volume of the espresso pour
4) They should include a single wall filter basket and remove that plastic from the portafilter; I will buy a bottomless portafilter with a VST basket
5) Espresso quality; I'm still struggling to get a shot that is not bitter but I'm quite hopeful I will figure it out soon and update the review.
Top reviews from other countries
Makes excellent espresso, whether single hole basket or multiple hole basket.
Excellent milk and foam too.
Yes, aluminum portafilter a little cheap but works effectively.
Lights and buttons plus overall look of machine very nice.
Yes, Made in China... But really well thought out machine.
Everything works well. The frother does a good job with soya milk, which is what I use daily.
I have had a lot of espresso makers in the past twenty years, and this is one of the best so far.
It has a water tank and a steam wand that you have to get a thermometer to put in your milk in order to ensure you have the right temp.
You can do one or two shots of espresso that you have to grind in a separate machine.
Is this a bad thing?
Depends on what you want and your experience. I am a trained barista. I want to make drinks for my nieces I would rather be able to turn off my steam wand at 120 degrees than the machine force the milk to a predetermined temp. Or my mum wants an extra hot London fog? I would rather be able to steam it to 150 for her.
Also with fewer gadgets, it's less likely that some gauge or fuse breaks for no reason. It's just simple mechanics in this machine.
One troubleshooting thing. If your espresso won't pull fast enough, try and look through your espresso basket.
If you can see light through the holes your beans have likely been ground too fine, and the water can't filter fast enough. If you can't see light, try cleaning the basket with a toothbrush, toothpick, or worse case scenario take fire to the holes in your espresso basket, just lightly untill you hear a light popping sound. This is the sound of whatever is in there - old espresso or the plastic from manufacturing - cooking to the point of cracking, the holes in the basket can sometimes be plugged to the point that espresso wont pass through. At least this happened to me.
Also invest in a tamper, something that will give you enough pressure to allow for properly pressed espresso.
