The Anita is built like a tank. It is capable of producing superior espresso to any local coffee shop or restaurant provided fresh roasted coffee and the correct grind is used.
Negative Product Points
No direct plumbing line.
Detailed Commentary
I researched machines thoroughly before deciding on the Anita. I balanced quality construction, usable features and price. I am extremely pleased with the machine. I cannot get tired of watching "honey" with gorgeous tiger striping flow from the portafilter. Chris was invaluable before, during and after the sale. He is a priceless commodity to the home espresso enthusiast. I would recommend his company to anyone interested in the investment. He could have convinced me to spend much more than I did, but he realized what I was looking for and gave me honest advice. How often does that happen?
