Bottom Line: For the price, this is the best prosumer machine. Unless you want a plumbed-in model, the Anita is the hands down winner in this class. Buy yours from Chris' Coffee.

Bottom Line: Just my opinion, but the most logical choice for the money. For me, I would only go from here to a double boiler rotary (maybe when I retire and have plenty of money!)

Bottom Line: Great for home use if you are looking for a HX e61 machine, nice foot print and looks good on the counter. Espresso is as good as any coffee house I have bought espresso in.
