Bottom Line: This low-maintainence machine works great out-of-the box and has been serving barrista-made shots daily for 10 years and brewing.

Harvey Dent	01.01.2010	Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: easy to use + consistancy in taste + good quality esspresso - whatelse should one expect from an esspresso machine? machine looks neat&tiny but is very heavy, reliable and cosistant.

Bottom Line: Nice starter machine; don't pay too much for it.

Kevin Bailey (quality: 7.5)	09.26.2009	Rating: 6.0
Bottom Line: This is definitely a BEGINNER machine. A good grinder will do leaps and bounds for the overall product this puts out (as it does any machine). Treat yourself to a Silvia instead.

Larry Lemmon (quality: 5.0)	02.18.2008	Rating: 9.2

J M (quality: 6.0)	01.29.2008	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: learn how to replace the seals for the steam wand yourself and you should be happy
