Just My OpinionJust My Opinion –
The media could not be loaded. We absolutely LOVE this Mcilpoog coffee (espresso) maker! IMO, for under $1,000 there isn’t a better unit available. The machine has been a delight, handling over 1,200 coffee drinks flawlessly in the two years we’ve owned it. The Mcilpoog, despite its ridiculous name, boasts an excellent design, ease of use, and super reliable operation. It quickly heats up and self-rinses at startup (and also during shutdown, which is a nice feature) and has a user-friendly, nice-to-look-at touch-screen.The machine’s customization options are impressive. All drink settings are adjustable, and you can even tweak them on-the-fly. The milk attachment works perfectly, and not having an internal milk reservoir is a big plus (instead, you just drop the milk line tube directly into your milk container) and makes cleanup and maintenance much easier. Mcilpoog’s tech support has been exceptional, even creating demonstration videos for my technical queries (e.g. how to clean the grinder with Grindz, although I haven’t had the need to do so yet).And the most important thing: it makes great coffee! Despite having 16 different options (if I remember correctly) it really only does five things: espresso, americano, milk-based drinks (like cappuccino and latte), hot water and hot milk. All are rendered beautifully, especially the espresso that is as good as you’ll find anywhere. My guests, including those with high-end commercial machines, have praised the espresso.There are a few areas for improvement. The machine could benefit from a confirmation step (at least as a selectable setup option) before starting a drink, as it currently begins making it immediately after selection. This quick start leaves a tiny window for adjusting the default settings (in particular, the coffee strength, since the grinder starts immediately) and if you accidentally press the wrong selection, it cannot be changed– only cancelled. Which is a bit nerve-wracking. Changing from strong to weak, for example, leaves you only a few seconds at most. Additionally, the ability to change the order of espresso, milk, and water in drinks would be nice. Lastly, smart features and firmware updating capabilities would elevate it to the level of a leading edge appliance.Bottom line: It’s a beautifully-engineered machine (with silly name) that makes fantastic coffee and has exceeded our expectations having proven to be 100% reliable during two years of daily use.EDIT: 11/27/2023I noticed several negative reviews complaining about the machine, esp the milk frothing system, not working after a while. I’ve never experienced any trouble, but that may be because I’m careful to clean it regularly. I do a manual rinse 2x after making any milk drinks. Every time. No exceptions. And then the machine does a third more thorough rinse during its normal shutdown procedure. This keeps the frother and the tube free of any dried milk, which I suppose would clog it up after a while. The reason to do this religiously is that once any milk dries inside it’s going to be very difficult to get it off. I also rinse the removable base tray and grounds collector daily; and thoroughly clean and dry the removable coffee cartridge thing weekly. I have a feeling that people having trouble aren’t treating the machine with the required care. So if you do decide to buy this machine, take my advice and clean it regularly and thoroughly. You’ll be glad you did. P.S. I added a photo of the quick rinse screen.

I’ve been using this nearly every day since I got it. The ability to customize drinks on the fly is exceptional, and so far it has consistently provided a quality cup for me. Excellent crema, fantastic flat whites, even does a pretty decent job with tea lattes.I believe that the one that I got was returned, as it had statistics on it already and needed to have the milk tube cleaned. I can’t figure out why it was returned, and I can’t figure out how it wasn’t spotless. For an espresso machine, it’s very quiet. Maintenance is a breeze. If you want my advice for lowering the amount of times that you have to clean out the water tray? Dedicate a mug to catching the water when you clean the milk steamer and the espresso dispensers. I only have to clean it out when the pucks fill up their tray, and cleaning only takes a few minutes at most if you want to be thorough. Honestly, the longest part is taking the pucks to the trash can.It automatically shuts off and runs a clean cycle if you leave it idle too long. Its footprint is entirely reasonable. It’s very easy to get the hang of after two drinks. It’s possibly the easiest espresso machine to clean. I reckon that at my pace, it will pay for itself well before the year is done. I’ve used cheap espresso makers and commercial grade ones, and while this does fall short of the highest end ones that weigh a ton and make hundreds of cups of espresso in an hour, for the average user it will easily beat waiting in line for a latte.So if you’re hesitating? Get it. I suggest a mug to catch water with to lower the amount of times that you need to empty the water tray, and a dedicated glass of water to stick the milk tube in when you’re not making drinks. Run the milk steamer clean cycle after every use (easy if you have that dedicated glass). This thing is seriously, without a doubt, awesome. An absolute necessity if you work from home and/or work long hours.EDIT: This is a follow-up written at the end of March, a little over a month after the review. In addition to exceeding my expectations, I have done a proper maintenance clean on it which did not take very long. I recommend scrubbing the tray with soap and water. I can also confirm that if you make iced lattes with espresso pulled from this machine, it will blow iced lattes from your typical chain coffee shops out of the water. The crema remains very thick. By my calculations, at my current rate of consumption it will pay for itself by May. Seriously, well worth it. I use it for tea lattes, iced lattes, cappuccinos, lattes, macchiatos, ramen, hot cocoa, and coffee. The utility is excellent.EDIT 2: I ran into my first “issue”, so I decided to swing by here to let everyone know the solution in case you run into it. I got some VERY oily dark roast beans, far oilier than my usual selection. To my surprise after a few cups, it said “add beans”. It clearly did not need more. I shut it off completely, turned it on, same error. I tried filling it completely. Same error.The solution was to take a coffee stirrer and prod around to move the beans. I’m guessing that since they’re so oily it’s a bit of a challenge for the hopper to detect the beans. If you run into this error, try stirring the beans around (all the way down at the bottom, so I recommend a coffee stirrer or straw) to see if it fixes it.Some of the pieces are creaking a little from all of the use, so I’m sure if I lubricated some of the joints it’d sound better. By now, it absolutely has paid for itself so I’m happy with it. I can’t imagine going back to not having this.

Over a year update – this machine is still churning out the same shots of espresso as day one. More than paid for itself in less than a year, this has been a great purchase.I have used an assortment of beans and pre-ground decaf with zero issues. I use this machine over 5 times a day plus with no signs of issues. Regularly go through cleaning cycles. I e even threw parts in the dishwasher with no issues – but only top rack.8 month update – still no issues – producing great drinks. Best investment for making espresso – and glad I replaced this with my older Phillips. Paid for itself in less than a year and more.I use Lavazza beans – and I switch back and forth between their Super Crema and Espresso Italia – the Espresso Italia runs about 11.99 for a two pound bag – and the Super Crema is about 20.00 here on Amazon. Also, try the Mcilpoog beans as well – while I didn’t personally like the roast, they all made a good cup of coffee.Don’t use cheap beans.6 Month Update – Still going strong, great purchase!Will update after more use for longevity quality*I’m extremely impressed by this machine. Expectations were a little low for the features at the price, but I have to say this so far is a hidden gem. I made several different drinks, and am toying with the machine to get my presences set right.Pros:-Perfect pulled espresso-Adjustable strength of coffee flavor- Great froth- Americano / Coffee taste greatCons:-Temperature of Milk-Based Drinks depending on preference (i.e., your cappuccino may not be hot enough for your preference-water tank is smaller-loud – but should be expected from an automatic coffee / espresso maker-drink preference is saved from last drink, so you will need to change it each time if making it for someone else.So far, I have made about 10 of the 16 available drink options – some I will never likely use (I.e., coffee pot). All of them have turned out better than barista mill (ie Pete’s, Starbucks) stores, each time.The Cappuccino wasn’t as hot as I would want it – but came out perfect otherwise. I don’t like scolding hot milk, but I felt personally it was a little cool. I am pulling milk straight out the fridge, so letting it sit at room temperature for a little bit can probably fix that.For $750.00, this machine will pay for itself. I don’t drink ice lattes, but they would turn out better most likely for sure.It’s big, which I knew it would be. Lots of plastic parts, which is why I will update for longevity. Well built – this performs as well as any other expensive automatic coffee maker.It cleans a lot – you will need a mug or will need to clean the drip pan often.Easy to clean – but some may find it a pain.I wish there was an app for phone connectivity instead of using the machine’s internal settings. The OS layout is fine, but the process to change drink settings seems like a chore if you intend on making drinks at different preferences.This is better than previous nespressos or Phillips Machines I have used, with more functionality.The frothing tube – make sure you clean it after use. I use their quick clean setting and a cup of hot water – no issues.I think you will find this worth your investment. If you like high quality coffee, and wish to make it in the comfort of your home, this machine is for you.

I love coffee so much that I literally redesigned most of my downstairs because I needed room for all my coffeemakers. I’ve got at least a dozen different types of coffeemakers and have experimented with more. This is my favorite one.It lives at my office, but on long weekends, I bring it home so I can enjoy coffee there. The quality is just that phenomenal. It does a great crema, and has an intensely thick foam for cappuccinos, which I love.Downsides, so you’re aware going in… it doesn’t seem to work well with preground coffee. It just seemed to clog up the machine. It takes a long time to heat, and you need to really stay on top of cleaning the milk foam mechanism. And the cup warmer isn’t quite big enough for the massive cups I use, so I haven’t really been able to play with that. And the setup takes a bit.Upsides: it’s all really accessible. When the preground coffee jammed it up, I popped open the side and everything sort of slides out to be cleaned. The grounds are nearly kept and the bin able to be dumped easily. And the taste is so phenomenal and there’s so many choices for coffee drinks. Previously, I wouldn’t do many cappuccinos because it was too much of a process for my liking. But now, I might grab one with a click of a button or decide to go for a crema coffee instead. It simplifies complicated coffee drinks.Overall, the taste can’t be beat, and the biggest downside is standing and waiting for it to heat and clean. This is still way faster and tastier than waiting in a Starbucks line, so it’s easily worth it to me. If you’re used to a Keurig, it’s not quite as fast, but it’s got that level of convenience with much greater customization.I was nervous about buying this one vs a name brand coffee machine manufacturer. I’m glad I purchased it. I am literally thinking about getting a second one for my house because I enjoy it that much.

The media could not be loaded. The machine is great, all the types and functions are amazing. However I feel like the water tank could be bigger or have a water inlet in the rear. My wife and I drink a cup to 2 a day. That’s 4 cups. The machine does a good job of cleaning itself but that’s why you always have to clean the tray and the fill the machine. I will not that it is important to maintain the machine. Over it makes a fantastic cup of coffee!

Longtime Buyer –
Update:Jan 02, 2024Their customer service is the BEST !The brewer unit was having a problem.I informed them and sent a photo.They took quick action to replace it.This Super-Automatic still rocks making DELICIOUS coffee drinks.Original Review:This WS-203 makes GREAT TASTING Espresso coffee drinks! And Simple to use!The crema is Good! The milk COMES OUT frothy and hot. You could even adjust the froth by turning the knob.You customize your coffee drinks to your liking in the beverage setting or while the drink is being made, and there is a Nifty light that shines onto your cup showing off your DELICIOUS coffee drink.But the best part is the EASE of cleaning. There are not many parts to remove like in other brands.The machine even prompts you to rinse or clean as needed. This is ALL part of maintenance.Another PLUS is that the machine automatically primes the brewer unit by rinsing Hot water through it upon starting to give a Hot cup each time.When turning off, it rinses the espresso outlet to keep clean. A very nice touch.The drink volume is always consistent not like some other machines.I bought 2 of them!You have All the normal choices Espresso, Americano, Latte, Cappucino, Regular coffee plus Flat white, Cafe au Lait, etc.This is MUCH BETTER than the manual espresso machines.My family and I are so GLAD we found this Brand!!!You will ENJOY your coffee drinks MORE!

Foamer worked with less foam in 1 month, then stopped in 3 months. Sent emails and called – no response from the company, despite registering the unit on their website.Update : the seller reached out to me-and sent me a new foamer to replace the one that is with the unit. I wasn’t expecting it to work but it did. Now, i am back to creating amazing coffee every morning with the perfect amount of foam that i liked. I am impressed by how much the seller value their product and the quality of service thy provide. For a quick turn around and a working foamer again, i am revising my review to 4-5 stars. You brought my confidence towards your product.

I have a couple of these machines…..because I cannot live without the coffee it produces. Ran into a recent issue with one of them. Worked with the service department and in a short time….it was resolved. The best part…..was the day I could put that Keurig machine away that I had been using as replacement while the troubleshooting was going on :)!!! There is NO comparison. This machine is by far the best!!
