 Great at this price point! March 15, 2010

I am back for my second machine! We purchased this espresso machine 18 months ago and it just stopped working this morning so we ordered another one. Like my husband says, for the price it isn't worth trying to fix it and we went for another one because I make ALOT of coffee and this machine worked and worked and worked. Is it the best on the market? Probably not. Is it the sexiest? No. It is an excellent, basic workhorse of a machine.
Wow! March 9, 2010

received a used one of these from a friend who was moving and did not need it, and it has changed my life! well, mornings are so nice when you can make your own cappucino. I am continually impressed. a real solid machine, plus mine came with no directions, which is just not a problem, because it is so intuitive.
 Good but has faults February 20, 2010

Fairly good at brewing espresso. Does not have enough pressure to handle well finely ground coffee.
A major defect: the inside of the dripping pan has a lousy chrome layer and corrodes very fast. I would recommend coating it with some protective layer when new.
A couple of other recommendations: if you want to steam milk, first let the steam eject the water in the system, otherwise you will be adding several tablespoons of water to your milk.
Unless your coffee is ground fairly coarse, wait a minute or so before removing the pod after you finished brewing your cup, otherwise the accumulated pressure will have not yet dissipated and will send coffee grinds flying...
And the first time you use the machine, make sure to read and follow the instructions on how to prime the pump.
As other reviewers mentioned, the pump is noisy. It does not bother me.
All in all the machine does its job. but the chrome issue with the pan is a problem
 Faulty product & very bad response from AMAZON & Lello February 7, 2010

I bought this espresso maker as a gift, which makes the experience with it all the worse. It leaks! It begin leaking almost immediately!! The person I gave it to could not find a way to return it for repair, and had to contact me. I contacted AMAZON, who offered me little assistance other than to say they would return 75% of the cost to me. I eventually got an address for the manufacturer, Lello, and asked my friend to mail it in with a description of the problem. She did. It was returned a month later with the same problem. No solution. No substitution. No fix. Why AMAZON is still selling this product is a mystery to me. I lost a lot of respect for the company as a result of this purchase.
Product only lasted for 10 months. January 30, 2010

Like so many other reviews here, my machine exploded after 10 month. I only made 2 cups of coffee per day in that time. I only used filtered water and cleaned it according to the instructions.
It could never steam milk without making it very watery, however I was aware that cheap espresso machines rarely froth milk satisfactorily. I take my coffee with cold milk anyway.
The manner in which it exploded could have resulted in an injury. I cannot recommend this machine at all.
