Good machine + good price = Great deal! I’ve used this machine for two years now, and would buy it again in an instant. I’ll add these comments to those previously written:
Perfect (for me) Ok, so here was my conundrum. I’m a soldier deployed to Iraq and during midtour leave visited Italy and became addicted to espresso. I drank it over there many times a day and really liked the effects. The bad news is that I had to come back to Iraq for 7 more months and I’m too lazy to walk to the Greenbeans Coffee Shop (yep, we have one) and I didn’t really want to pay .75*6=4.50 every day. So, I knew I had to get a machine.
Works fine for me! I’m not sure what the below reviewer is complaining about with the machine’s heating element. I’ve had this for two weeks now and have made many great tasting cappucinos with it (I don’t like straight espresso).
