More plastic than I expected and doesn't have a timer but great price and makes good coffee.

After reading all of the comments, I purchased this machine and am very happy with it. As others commented, the carafe spout does spill if you don't pour it very slowly. I contacted Mr Coffee about this and they sent me a replacement, with a longer spout that doesn't spill, within 3 days. This is my first time using an espresso machine and I think for the money it does a great job!! Thanks for all of the reviews :)

Since buying this item about 3 months ago it has worked wonderfully.
Some other buyers have complained how the coffee caraffe splashes and is difficult to pour - I agree; it just takes a little different technique to pour smoothly. Once you master that it's just fine. I like the removable water reservoir. Also some customers complained about the expresso part not heating the coffee hot enough - I haven't had this problem. So far, no problems. If Mr coffee would fix the pour spout I would give this 5 stars. However I am very satisfied with my purchase!

What a mistake. Great if you like lukewarm coffee. Warming plate is exactly that... warmer. Carafe is poorly designed... dribbles when you try to pour. Last Mr. Coffee product I'll ever buy.

It does what I got it for. Just wish it had a timer so we could wake to the smell of fresh brewed coffee.
