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.

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.

Product Reviewed: 800ESXL
Bottom Line: I really enjoy drinking the coffee once I get it to my liking. Better than a cheapo machine. Not as good as a $1,000. one.

Bottom Line: I will miss this and I don't know what to replace it with, but when the machine lasts 5 weeks and the manufacturer seems to be in hiding, it's a no go.

Bottom Line: Better than some machines in the price range, but as a favor to yourself, you can and should find someting even better.

Sophie Myers (quality: 3.0)	12.07.2006	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: Love it!

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.
