Initial Use - Skoutariotis - Bakersfield, CA USA
This review is FIRST USE ONLY, after few uses, I'll post new review if necessary.
I just replaced my burned up Nuova Simonelli Oscar Pro.

Makes VERY good espresso, nice rich, I like it!
Froths real good and creammy, but takes time to heat up the milk.

You set the included cups on the drip tray, start the machine, and they vibrate out of place, losing some espresso if you're not paying attention.
The biggest challenge w/this machine is the filter & basket.
Replacing filter basket, is a real &^%$#. The docs say they improved the basket w/the permanent spring to hold the filter. Well, that's a sorry excuse for a spring. Falls in my used grind bucket every time. It's too hot to hadnle, I'll have to pick it up quickly and 'drop' it back on before I burn myself.
Overall, I'm happy w/this, so far. We'll see how it acts after a few cups.



Not for the faint of heart - CJ - Chicago
If you are looking for a simple to use foolproof espresso machine, choose another. It is a challenge to learn to use this machine to create a good espresso drink. It is possible though. In fact, I have been able to make some of the best I've ever had. I have worked as a barista for nearly 4 years and never got as good a result on the commercial models.

If you are up for the challenge, there is one important thing to keep in mind: the filters are very unforgiving. It is crucial that your coffee is ground perfectly for espresso or you will spend hours trying to unclog the filter (a tedious process involving a device that amounts to a pin being poked one by one into dozens of holes). I had all but given up on this machine when I decided to try a prepackaged already ground espresso. Normally I would discourage pre-ground coffee in general (due to loss in flavor) but this completely solved the clogging problem. The espresso shots were amazing. It was the promise of that incredible crema that drew me to this brand in the first place. Finally, I got to enjoy it. You will need to experiment with the proper tamping to get the desired results. Too light and your shot will be weak. Too firm and it will clog.

Foaming the milk is also a challenge. It seems you must overfill the included pitcher so that some of the milk spills out while you're foaming. If you do you will get the most velvety foam imaginable.

Is it worth it? Given the price I might have skipped it if I had known how challenging things would be. Now that I own it I am not sad since I am able to really impress my guests (and myself) with my barista skills by serving the best espresso drinks I (and hopefully they) have ever had.
