   I chose this machine due to it’s stainless steel lined inner boiler, it’s overall heavier machine weight and narrow footprint, along with oversized stainless steel steaming wand. (Note) The lesser cost model identical in appearance from this manufacturer had no mention of the stainless steel interlined boiler so I chose the more expensive one that clearly conveyed that boiler system. I have owned numerous espresso machines over the years, and have learned there’s no need to spend $300 to $500 which I have! unless you’re planning on repairing and maintaining them they only last so long do to water characteristics against the boiling system. For around $200 or less you can find a very nice machine (such as this one) that should work for years before internal blockages, leaky portafilter gaskets and such requires a new unit. “Note” I always remove the portafilter shortly after shooting an expresso 1 to 2min as to extend the life of that main gasket.I have use it almost everyday for the last month, 2 to 3 times a day.Being so pleased with this machine I felt it my responsibility to give it a solid review.(1) nice espresso, excellent crema with medium to dark beans.(2) the timer program shot function allows you to set the length of pull to suit your preference, I tend for a longer pull quite often.(3) I tend to use a very fine grind well tamped, this 20 bar pump has never failed to impress…(works great).(4) I do cappuccinos, soy milk, a little coconut milk powder, quarter teaspoon slippery elm, the oversized stainless steel steam head is a big improvement over the smaller head especially if you add additional powders to increase the loft and texture of your milk product. (Note) if you love your expresso and have over the years discovered a tender tummy, a 1/4-1/2 or so teaspoon slippery elm powder is something to consider, I like its earthy taste, and it is a known digestive and intestinal supportive coating among other things. (Also purchased on Amazon)(5) I appreciate the pressure gauge indicating an appropriate grind and tamped coffee grounds is being achieved.(6) (Note) the manufacturer has gone to Great lengths to educate the buyer of this machine of its intricacies of operation in easy to understand written form. If you froth before shooting your espresso follow instructions to an appropriate cooldown for perfect expresso temperature. Also if all lights go to flashing check your water level before being concerned as it has internal protections.30 days in with this machine with heavy use, I’m impressed! And would definitely recommend or buy again. Enjoy!

   This is a compact espresso machine. So far it seems to work just fine. I like my coffee strong so this was my attempt to get a good ,strong cup of coffee. It is not as strong as a coffee shop but I believe it is the grind. I really like the size and ease of use. I am happy with this purchase. I’ve had it for a couple of months .

   Don’t look further, I love the guage on my coffee maker, it tells me the heat index inside the machine which is helpful. I have used a Breville for years, THis one takes up half the space, makes excellent frothy milk cream and is easier to use with the knob for the amount of steam pressure you prefer.I learned, turning on and off the knob for the frother, is really easy, it takes getting used to switching from the frother to the espresso maker. But once I got used to the extra items I chose on my machine, I could never go back. I love this machine. Priced way better then most… Don’t hesitate… It will only go up in price.

   Needed a second machine for our rental place and decided to try this little unit. It works as well as my Breville, but has better steam. It’s a great little unit. I don’t really have any reason not to give it five stars, but I’m not. People are funny that way.

   Machine is easy to use, heats up in about 1 minute, and measures the amount of water automatically. Also, the basket sits high enough that you can put a full size coffee mug underneath. For $109 it’s awesome and far better than the $90 De Longhi it replaced.
