The Junior DT/1 is a full commercial machine designed for small spaces and tight budgets (relatively speaking). It features high quality parts, a rotary pump, and requires plumbing in. Note - if you wrote a review for the Junior in another category, it will be moved here.

Bottom Line: For a home machine, it would be tough to beat - for a commercial machine it's surprisingly excellent.

Bottom Line: How can you possibly go wrong when for the price of 2 to 3 frothy coffee drinks a day, you can make as many as you want, so you might as well reach in that pocket or purse and spend your coin a little more wisely!

Bottom Line: Extremely high quality build and extremely high quality espresso

Bottom Line: When I bought this machine the salesperson said something like, “this is a very good machine and if you look after it you could well be buying your last espresso machine”. After using it for 15 months I think she may well be right!

Bottom Line: the single worst consumer experience of my life
Andy Black (quality: 6.8) 04.08.2005 Rating: 9.4
Bottom Line: As well as coffee addiction there's the problem of being addicted to using a really fine piece of machinery.
Todd Lando (quality: 6.4) 02.10.2005 Rating: 9.8
Bottom Line: Without a doubt, the finest single group espresso machine under $10,000. Incredible machine.
Mark McKenzie (quality: 6.0) 08.21.2004 Rating: 9.6
Bottom Line: Divine espresso from a beautiful machine that's a pleasure to use (if looked after) - what more could you ask for?
David Blundell (quality: 7.7) 04.18.2004 Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: Nothing beats playing on a machine of this quality and even my girlfiend understands.

Bottom Line: Pasquini Livia 90 is to Jeep as Cimbali Junior is to HUMMER
Michael Di paolo (quality: 3.4) 11.11.2003 Rating: 10.0
Bottom Line: SIMPLY THE BEST..SECOND TO NO OTHER MACHINE..WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY !!!!
Gerard Lombardo (quality: 5.8) 11.11.2003 Rating: 9.6
Bottom Line: Expensive initial investment more than justified by beautiful equipment and espresso that will put most commercial establishments to shame.
Ken Fox (quality: 8.4) 11.11.2003 Rating: 9.4
Bottom Line: Buy a Cimbali Jr. if you are looking to buy your last espresso machine, because there won't be a reason to ever upgrade it.
