Bottom Line: This machine really looks and feels like a quality piece of equipment. This is why I'm so sad that it hasn't lived up to my expectations.

Bottom Line: If espresso is what you want, this machine is hard to beat for $400. I think you need to spend a lot more for quality foam.

Bottom Line: Don't believe the nay-sayers. Unless you are a Barista extraordinaire, this is a great way for a clod like me to cook up some espresso at home

Elias Amador (quality: 6.4) 12.08.2006 Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: It looks great on the outside, and it might satisfy people who drink mostly milk drinks, but it doesn't have what it takes to make real espresso.
