2 out of 5 stars Leaky machine   July 16, 2008
H. Fanning (Wa)
Its hard to find things that can hold up anymore and thats frustrating. This machine worked well for 2 months and now it has a bad leak. So do I buy a new on and take the chance or buy a different machine? Thats the great debate!!!!


4 out of 5 stars Remarkable for the money   June 15, 2008

Picked this up after my Delonghi died. This one is superior in almost every way. The pump is stronger (much) and the steam works quicker. It makes a very smooth espresso. The Delonghi had a special system for getting a crema which worked very well - it's a bit trickier on this machine, you have to work out the correct tamping pressure (and the coffee has to be quite finely ground), but you can get a great crema once you figure it out.

Annoying that regular mug cups do not fit. My husband uses 2 espresso cups to fill up 1 mug, and complains often how the coffee is warm, not hot.
The "warmer" on top of the machine warms nothing.
Noisy machine. Our last model was quiet, which is what you want early in the morning.
At times the coffee comes out watery.
We mourn the demise of our old espresso machine.

For the money this machine performs very bad. It is better to save half of money and buy steam espresso maker.


2 out of 5 stars Better off paying a little more money   April 23, 2008

A few months after I bought this machine, my wife bought me a high end espresso maker for Christmas. The difference in quality between the two is quite large. If you want an espresso maker, spend a little more money. If you want to go cheap, check out the Aeropress instead.
