Thank you for sharing your feedback. The large handle on the left side of your machine is the assisted tamping lever. Its function is to press and compact the loose coffee grounds inside your portafilter into a flat, even "puck" before you brew, ensuring consistent water flow and preventing channeling. Your comments help us improve future models and enhance the overall consumer experience.

If I received it
It might of been nice but it was never received. Macy's pick up is messy because I received a ups delivery notification but Macy's lost the big package.
Disappointed in purchase
We decided to upgrade from Gevi to this. The coffee foam is lacking and the milk frother is inconsistent.

Yummy AT HOME Espresso!
Okay, so after having this machine for a couple of weeks I’m going to make a Pro / Con list so that my thoughts on the Cuisinart Espresso Bar Grind & Brew Espresso Machine are clear and concise! Pros: -BEAUTIFUL aesthetic machine -Able to grind fresh whole beans, with bean storage at top -Espresso comes out smooth and tasty -Holds A LOT of water in the reservoir -Has a warming plate at the top to keep your cup warm before brewing -Easy to brew/follow instructions -Easy setup and maintenance -Auto shut-off after not being used for 30 minutes -Pieces have their own storage tray within the drip tray which is convenient -Fits nicely on my coffee bar next to my Keurig and coffee accessories -There is a COLD button for ICED DRINKS that actually dispenses your brew at room temperature, it’s amazing Cons: -Reservoir kept leaking into drip tray until I brewed the first cup of espresso (no leak so far after that but I am keeping watch) -Machine is noticeably on (not necessarily loud but you can hear something going on) when heating up and brewing -Using the steaming/hot water wand takes a bit getting used to especially if you have never used one -If you have small children like me, KEEP THIS MACHINE AWAY AT ALL TIMES! It is big, hot, and scary for little ones I don’t even want to imagine if they got a hold of it

We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Espresso Bar™ Grind & Brew Espresso Machine. If the water reservoir is leaking immediately after being filled, we recommend ensuring the reservoir is fully seated in place and checking for any visible cracks, damage, or obstructions around the connection points. Since a reservoir should not empty on its own under normal operation, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901044059 so we can provide additional troubleshooting assistance.
