Good to average espresso maker ... great for Cappichino.
Positive Product Points
Ease of use and clean up, Manual and auto pump time setups, Lots of steam. Great service warranty with 800 #.
Negative Product Points
Low water temp 160 F. Lots of pump vibration. No three way valve like Rancillio and Gaggia. Forgets the custom settings upon power loss.
Detailed Commentary
Purchased new at a department store for $260. It is a BIG improvement from the Krups steam machine. Makes drinkable espresso just about every time using factory settings. Steamer works great after a few seconds of spitting water. Easy to clean up.
