EXCELENT

 

I can't think of a thing that could be made better (other that the water tank).

Perfect crema. Very esthetically appealing. Solid build (made in Italy). MAKES PERFECT ESPRESSO ; Real Italian stuff. I bought mine for 187 $ as an open box and it is really good machine. The thermometer follows the water temperature so by playing with...

Small water tank (only 0.7L) and that's it

DO NOT BUY!!!

 

I would agree with all of the above comments and add that the grounds float up into the filter housing so that you have to do extensive cleaning EVERY TIME. It looks cool, but not worth the money at all. I should have gone with a Gaggia, recommended by...

Love this machine

 

Fun and easy to use. Mine has lasted over a year now, and no problems. I did strip the frothing wand, and had to get a replacement. I took it off to clean, every time I used it. most likely something I should have not done.

Simple machine, has auto heat cut off for each setting

none a nice machine

Only HEADACHES after six months!!!

 

Loved the way the maker looked and fit in our kitchen. Produced a great espresso and milk foamed wonderfully. My husband loves a extra short espresso, my mother-in-law a watery shot, and I a milky latte. We were absolutely delighted until until after...

A great cup of espresso can be made with this machine to start out with

Expensive machine that only lasts six months. Maker provides very poor customer service

Excellent First Time Machine

 

This espresso maker is easy to operate and very forgiving. It makes good espresso even when you don't get things quite right and excellent espresso when you do. Same with the frother. It makes excellent froth in medium and small quantities when you...

Easy to use, great value

None when considering price and alternatives

Nice Looks - Adequate Function

 

I wanted to share with others what I wish I had known before I bought this machine. If I had known these things, I wouldn't have bought it. Unfortunately, there are a lot of fake reviews out there, which I read before buying, so beware!

Good Looks

Big delay between pulling shot and steaming milk. Labor intensive
