 Great machine for the price July 29, 2008

I own the predecessor of this model for 4 years now... It never failed. Makes great espresso from ground beans, as long as it's "Turkish ground" and freshly roasted. Actually I often use ESE pods (that device came with ESE pods filter)and keep the kitchen clean and my wife happy. Using ESE pods is tricky as I found it hard to find good tasting espresso pod (one hint, go with Italian made pods and off brands seem to taste better then the famous ones).
 Worked GREAT... while it worked. July 8, 2008

Well, this thing was FANTASTIC for the 6 whole months that it worked. Now it appears the pump is shot - i can't get enough pressure to push through the coarsest of grinds.
I'll try customer support tomorrow, but have very low expectations.
------------UPDATE-------------
After trying to de-scale with vinegar, which seemed to aggravate the problem, I bought some generic Kroger coffee pot cleaner, and some CLR in case that didnt' work.
With coaxing (letting the pump suck water, then air, then water, about 40 times) it finally ate through whatever build-up was clogging the whole thing.
I'm now gonna blame super-hard water and too lax a maintenance schedule (all on me) for the device's failure.
Properly maintained, I'd give this thing 4 stars, only other gripe is the leaky wand, which is really not that big of a deal. If you wanna make coffee, yer gonna spill some water anyway.
Recommend for the price range - although I did get it at a store that rhymes with Barget for about 30 bucks cheaper than i'm seeing it here.
Mistake in shipping makes review difficult July 5, 2008

This product was sent to the wrong address-- one that was on file with Amazon and even tho I filled in the correct address it was changed in transition to the vendor. Be very sure to double check the address on your order when it is confirmed! As to the product, I was replacing a espresso machine that I have had for 4 yrs and this is the exact duplicate of my original so I would have to say that I am very happy with the product especially for the price. Now I just have to wait until I get to the address it was sent to to be able to use it.
Good for the money. June 20, 2008

I bought this item after loosing a bid on Ebay for an expensive Italian-made Cappuccino Machine. The machine delivers perfectly good espresso and does a fine job of steaming milk. You probably have to wait a few seconds more to steam the milk, but with today's living expenses, the lower cost is worth the wait. I especially recommend this machine for first time users because any cappuccino machine requires a certain amount of care and maintanance, and it will make you appreciate your expensive Italian machine even more should you decide to upgrade eventually.
 So far so yummy! June 14, 2008

I just bought this for my husband for Father's Day and we love it. It works best with espresso ground coffee. I am pleased with the size and the power.
