Easy for a newbieThe media could not be loaded.
Came back from Italy and NEEDED handmade pasta back home in the states! Who knew pasta could be so good!The trick with this machine is to follow the measurements to make cookie crumble like dough. It’s not like when you hand roll pasta at all.The ratio for the mixture is in the paper instructions that comes with machine: 400 flour to 140 (1egg/water). No oil, no salt. To make it PERFECT, I press start. Then I choose the “pasta” button—It zeros out the scale built into the container. Once the scale reads “400” for the flour, I mix one egg and water in the smaller measurement cup to 140 total. I think the egg is 50 and rest is of measurement is the water. Mix really well so egg is fully mixed with water. Otherwise when you pour the water egg mixture on the top of lid, it won’t go through the small holes fast enough for your patience.The crumbles then go through the tube like play-dough and get squeezed into noodles. As you can see in my video, it doesn’t look like dough. Which was weird at first and made me think it was too dry. If it’s clumping together (too wet), it can’t “fall” into the opening it needs to go through to get squeezed into noodles.I use Bobs Red Mill Semonlina Flour because it keeps the shape of the pasta when boiling.Buy this machine! You’ll never buy pasta from the store again.As far as cleaning: I just put everything in my top rack dishwasher. There’s a tile pull out tray on machine to put the several noodle disks in for storage. Keep the cleaning needle for the hard to clean little holes.

Better foodI bought this because my wife was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I wanted a way that we could still enjoy food, and yet not overdo the carbohydrates. Pasta is a fun food, and I was able to adjust some recipes, to reduce the carbohydrate load, so she could eat it. It also turns out that it did help lower her blood sugar, by the ingredients we used. You can’t get that in the store, you have to make it.This little machine has been easy to use, it has a number of different types of pasta it makes, I even made pizza dough with it.

Easy way to make good home-made pastaI have had the Hamilton Beach Electric Pasta maker for more than a year now, and it’s time to pass on my thoughts.As others have said, the machine requires a pretty precise mixture in order to work well. It nicely weighs the flour for you and directs you to add the correct amount of liquid. I have found that using one beaten egg and 5 ml of olive oil mixed in with the water and using slightly more liquid than the machine calls for works best for me. I have not been successful at using any wheat flour at all, only white flour. Also, the nozzles for smaller pasta sizes, like angel hair don’t work at all. The dough just jams up in the nozzles and won’t go through no matter how much you thin it.The most frustrating aspect of using this machine is it quits multiple times during making of a single batch of pasta. I have to try multiple combinations of instructions in order to get it going again. Most often, I have to unplug the machine and then somehow get it started extruding pasta again.I had difficulty getting the machine to use most of the residual dough, but I have recently discovered that placing a thin plate under the back end during the extrusion phase makes the dough migrate to the nozzle end of the machine and results in better usage of the dough.Now that I think about all the difficulties in using this thing, I think I’ll change my rating to 3 stars instead of 4.

Idea is good, quality is bad.No matter what i do, I get error E02. After initial mixing cycle started, it stopped after 2 minutes and mixing mode kept blinking. And blinking… and blinking forever. No error code displayed. After I restarted machine, it showed E02 error code (Mixing bowl Lid is not in place). Well, it was in place. I had to place my body weight on bowl lid to finish pasta making.

Follow the directions!The key to success is to follow the directions explicitly. Weigh the flour on the built-in scale, add precisely the correct amount of liquid. If adding egg, whip the egg and include it in the liquid measurement. The resulting dough will be dry, coarse and rather grainy, not doughy at all. But when it extrudes through the pasta disk, it will solidify into perfect pasta. All the negative reviews appear to be the result of improper measuring that resulted in thick, gooey dough that will not feed properly into the extruder. Cleaning the machine is time-consuming and requires patience, but so does cleaning up after you make noodles from scratch on your countertop with a rolling pin. The machine works as advertised and the fresh pasta is great! Again, measure exactly and follow the directions!

When it works, it works wellVery hard to get the dough consistency right so it flows nicely. When it starts sending out the dough, it takes a long time till it flows well. Noodles are warm to hot and there is always hard packed dough in the attachment for the noodle type. Have always made the egg versions and used the Pasta setting (6 minute delay between mixing and extracting). Will have to try the Quick Pasta setting. Any help on this would be appreciated as I do like the fresh pasta taste.

One of our best-ever purchases!Years ago I had a pasta machine that was very basic and the motor was easy to burn out. It made very good pasta, but I had to be very careful to get the consistency just right so as not to put too much strain on the motor. It was a bit “hit and miss.” This machine, however, is quite sophisticated and very easy to use. It has a built-in weighing scale, so that after the flour is added and weighed, there is a read-out regarding the approximate amount of liquid to add. Thus the pasta output has consistently been perfect and quite the crowd-pleaser. I love this machine so much that I have let it be known that any time my wife wishes, I will gladly make us some pasta. We have enjoyed spaghetti (both thick and thin), linguini, noodles, and penne. My ‘cacio e pepe’ is utterly fantastic – just like we had in Rome! Fresh pasta is SO MUCH BETTER than the dried variety. I expect to use this machine more or less on a weekly basis.

Making smooth noodles but not good choose for meI trust the Hamilton Beach electric products but not this pasta maker. I was so excited to have it to make noodles for my kids. The first time I used there was no problem, I followed the instructions to put flour, and then I put water into just like the digital number what the marker got weight . The noddles came out smooth,but very slow, my husband said even he can make faster.Second day, I totally ruined my lunch plan. I still followed the instructions but I open one time the flour can ,so that the maker couldn’t recognize the step I did, it re-operated ,it requested water again,waiting to have mess noddles. So I made sense about it, it only one time operates,can’t stop adding anything when it works.It’s not that easy to clean up. You need clean every parts and edges to make sure the next time food will be ok.If you don’t care about time ,you’re patient to every step;if you don’t want dirty your hands, it may be your good choose to have the pasta maker.But for me,due to the two reasons , I returned it immediately and hired my husband to be noddles maker again. LoL

Water Ratio is TrickyWe love this machine, but you can’t just add the reccomended water ratio to the machine and walk away. Instead you have to keep a constant watch on the consistency. Too dry-nothing comes out. Too wet-nothing comes out. After a few times we now have it figured out, but don’t take your eye off of it. Easy to clean and fast.

TrickyPasta dough recipe is tricky and can gum up machine or the dough collapses on itself and sticks together as it is extruded from machine. Sigh.
