I had a cheap Hamilton beach espresso machine and my husband upgraded me to this model. It is so loud it scares me there is something wrong with it?

I bought that one for my mom several years back and it was loud to begin with. Still running fine though!

It uses a vibratory pump which emit some noise when running, but it should not be loud enough to scare anybody. It should be serviced or replaced.

We have actually experienced the same issue with the banging sound. It isn't consistent from use to use or even within one session. It doesn't appear to alter the performance, but it is certainly annoying. It isn't clear what the cause is so I'm hoping it isn't causing internal damage to the machine.

Our machine seems to make it hot (hot enough that I can't hold the glass cup bottom). I will say, though, that the FIRST espresso after we turn it on seems cooler than the subsequent attempts (still very warm; just not hot). I imagine there is some water in the lines that isn't heated, but I don't know that.

Why? Because they aren't well made would be my evaluation. It leaked there, and from above the filter basket. In fact they sent me two as warranty and they both malfunctioned similarly, one even leaked out through the on/off switch. That couldn't be too safe, I've since given up on that brand, and espresso machines generally.

I purchased a very popular brand and it was very loud. I replaced it w the same one Exact same problem. I sent it back and got this. No noises that I know of, very smooth.

That is a good sign I'd say: also excessive steaming out of the vent port. It shouldn't make any sounds except the sort of gurgling sound when the coffee is brewing and filling the upper chamber.

I have the same issue I have two of these and they are both loud - 1 is the older model with no digital lcd and the other a B70 I bought a large padded mouse mat at office max for $14.00 but it doesnt really help much, and the metal drip plate on the machine might as well be a cymbol when it vibrates agaist the unit. I like the coffee machine - but the noise is really starting to bother me and turn me against this product

It depends on how long you've had it. It might be clogged or need a new filter. If it is new, I think there might be something wrong with it. It shouldn't be that loud.

Ive had Tassimos for more than a decade. I don't think the cleaning process for this one was any different than earlier models and it might be louder than some pod style coffee makers. I won't fret that much about it and just enjoy drinking coffees, expressos, lattes, teas etc that are miles better than anything that other inferior brewer that begins with a K can produce. BTW, I wouldn't buy the latte creamers that they sell, even the "skinny" variety that they eventually introduced. Just put the milk in a grande or venti size ceramic cup, microwave it for about 2-3 minutes until it foams and then add the expresso to the cup. Makes a better latte than using the relatively expensive creamers

I have this same problem. It's loud and I can't for the life of me figure out why it started or how to stop it. I'll have to buy a new machine (not this one).

Its loud but if you love espresso and can't find a decent one for miles that loud noise is music. I love it.

it's as loud as most other coffe grinders. I think my krups is quieter. I sometimes use a dish towel wrapped around the top and the motor (the bottom) to muffle the sound when we have guests. it will cut the decibel level in half.

Yes. We use this coffeemaker daily and are starting to have a lot of problems with it including the weird snapping sounds. I am so mad because we follow the manual to a t, decalcify it, and clean it out regularly. Grrr...

Sandy, I had this coffee machine... IT STINKS.. to put it mildly. Same problem you are having. I loved the coffee but the pot was a pain to deal with. The only model worth the money and I'd buy it over and over again is the "Hamilton Beach 48464 Brewstation Summit" Believe me, get the 48464 and you will not be disappointed one bit. GREAT COFFEE, NO LEAKING, NO PROBLEMS... I THINK IT IS BEST TO START OUT WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE SO YOU WILL NEVER BE WEAK ENOUGH TO PURCHASE THAT MODEL AGAIN. GET RID OF THIS ONE AND GET THE ONE I HAVE. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY....

hello from Java Exotic Imports! This low cost espresso machine does a pretty good job. Check you water bin and make sure it is FULLY seated. There is a valve below the bin and the bin must go into that valve. We have noticed on occasions where the bin does not make full contact. Try dropping the water bin hard into the valve to be sure it is seated properly. If you can hear the pump running, it sounds like a seating or priming issue. Try priming again to be sure there is no air in the lines. Hope this helps!

It is not nearly as noisy as an electric grinder. I wouldn't use our blade grinder in the morning before my wife is up for fear that i might wake her. I have no problem using my Hario. (Day saved!)
