Saeco's low budget machine, it's been reviewed on this website by Mark Prince

Bottom Line: A good starter for anybody who wants to discover the beautiful world of espresso making, with its drawbacks. A true school for the wannaby barista, without digging deeply your pocket.

Lisa B (quality: 8.3) 06.03.2000 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Power to the People! A great cup for the newbie user, from a pump machine under US $50, makes the Cafe Express a machine worthy of emulation.

Bottom Line: Not a bad machine, I‘d be curious about results with a regular portafilter. Definitely a keeper at the price.
