Sunbeam Mini Barista EM4300

Second machine - same fault. When plugged in the pump runs constantly, spewing water everywhere, the motor running nonstop and potentially starting a house fire. I urge all others (i see there are many) with this same fault to report it to the ACCC here: productsafety.gov.au/contact-us/for-consumers/report-an-unsafe-product

“… Well, I tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life”

EXCEPT for the morning the coffee machine broke! Let me assure you, even coffee doesn't wake you up as much as the prospect of not having a coffee does.
Luckily, the local service station has a machine that makes me one that's good enough to tide me over until i reach the Coffee Machine Shop (not its actual name).

I procure a Sunbeam Mini Barista machine. I pick it on the basis that i once had a coffee made from one...

Purchased first machine in 2019 from Myers, it lasted 3 months and received a replacement. Same problem milk wand has no pressure and water leaks from wand. Up to my 4th machine and has just gone on the blink.
Will be looking at other brands this time.

Very impressed. Best machine I’ve ever owned and easily the best espresso machine in its price range.
Easy to use. Well-designed and built.
Consistently makes a perfect espresso, at optimal temperature - just like a high end machine.
Really like the feature that flushes hot water and keeps the milk wand clean and un-clogged.
The manual is easy to follow, full of information and includes techniques explaining how to make coffee and froth milk like a professional barista.
A pleasure to use too - I love making coffee with the Mini Barista even when I’m half-asleep - because it tastes so good.
Gives me something to look forward to when I have to get up early in Winter and it’s cold and dark outside.

Makes a decent coffee and now the cafe wants $6 a pop I bit the bullet and got my own machine. I use killer coffee which is terrific. The machine makes a great cuppa but man oh man is it noisy! It rattles around the bench and my
Cup nearly rattles right off the holder part. Love the frother! It’s a good machine for the price. I would’ve liked something fancier but couldn’t justify. This is good for what I paid as I am judging based on the coffee It makes and how well caffeinated I am haha!

I bought the mini barista about 2 years ago, after reading good reviews and because I had always had goodruns with Sunbeam Coffee machines. The machine made good reliable coffee, was easy to clean and maintain.
But recently the machine has been pumping water when not turned on (but plugged in to the wall socket). The water from the tank has emptied all over the counter top, and even short circuited the house when we were away for the week.
I was going to buy a similar machine, but jumped on to this website and learnt that other users have had a...

We had one given to us 7 years ago . For a home machine it is reliable . It took 2 to 3 minutes to turn on and froth the milk well .
Compare to industrial machine it is not extracting the coffee as well but for that price it is good enough . The industrial one cost 5 times more for a mall one.
We bought a new one 3 weeks ago when it was on sell. Stick with sunbeam brand again

Only had a few weeks and mini barista is leaking water, tray empty. Water accumulating underneath machine, not very impressed. Is second one we have had so not good otherwise is a good machine

The only issue is the know for water and steam hard to turn for me as I have arthritis and is very slippery but overall is the best addition to my kitchen

We replaced our em7000 that lasted about 5 years with this little em4300k and couldn't be happier. I don't think it takes any longer to make a delicious coffee with this single boiler unit than it did with our old dual em7000. We are using the filter basket that came with the em7000 & the results are much improved (creamer) than when using the basket supplied with the em4300k. The steam wand pressure is great & it's a very quiet little machine, imho this is all you need to make quality coffee at home.

Bought from Appliances Online September 2020, $200. Just failed with the known issue of pump running when plugged in, whether main switch is on or off. Also been dripping around the group head.
It's a pity because the coffee was very good and milk steamer worked well.
Juast unacceptable that it has such a short life.

I purchased this coffee machine less than 2 years ago. A few days ago, the machine and water pump turned on by itself and water poured all over the countertop. The only way to turn it off was to unplug it from the power outlet. I contacted Sunbeam customer support who initially stated they could not replace the product as it was outside of the warranty period. I emphasized that this is a design flaw and a safety issue as this machine and water pump could have been left running for days or weeks if I was out of town, which may be a potential fir...

My mini barista is about 2 years old, and has the same fault as everyone else - keeps pumping when plugged in, but not turned on at the machine.

Have called Sunbeam 4 times. They deny this is a known issue. They keep trying to send me to a repair centre, but the repair centres say they cannot source the part and cannot help.

This is a KNOWN problem, yet Sunbeam fail to fix it. They are knowingly selling a faulty product. Disgraceful.

Like a few other reviews I’m confused .
Love this little compact machine , but water leaking underneath can’t see where from just a pool of water each morning.
Do I get it repaired?
Buy a new one it’s 3 years old, gets used 3 times a day usually , it seems this is a fault in the design if so ??
Sunbeam we want to keep purchasing your appliances but will the next one do the same

Great machine that makes loverly coffee, better than competing machines from other manufactures.
It's no longer working though. First it started leaking, then the on/off button stopped working. No easy fix and very little information on how to service. Sunbeam could do with improving their after sales support.
