Bottom Line: Fast, outstanding espresso, good steam, and very easy cleanup. Great choice if you like drinking espresso/cappucino more than making it.

Bottom Line: Well built, easy to maintain, produces very good shots with decent crema. Not as good for steaming milk -- inadequate steam pressure. Frother sucks!
