Nuova Simonelli machines have been imported in the N. America since the early 1970s, and are a staple machine, found in most cafes in the west coast of Canada.

Bottom Line: Makes amazing espresso, though the layout of the machine could be better. My Faema is easier to work with, but the Simonelli creates the best tasting espresso.

Bottom Line: With a little tweaking, you can have a real performer in your kitchen. It ain't glamourous, but it really does the job.
