Replaced an 18 yr old fantastic semiautomatic German machine that finally gave up the ghost with this one, fearing a disappointment, and what a surprise! This is a quality build, easy to use and cleanup's a snap. Perfect espresso every time, rich layer of crema and at ideal temperature. Beautiful on the counter, precise fittings and quiet compared with others. Great value too. Love this unit, exactly what I was hoping to find. IMPORTANT TIP: Follow setup and first use instructions to the letter and it will pay dividends.

I was so excited to finally got this. The box look so damaged when it arrived. I quickly set it up and can wait to make my first cup. I fill up the water reservoir and slid it into the machine. Almost instantly all the water has leak out to my counter. It had several crack and broken pieces on back of the machine!

I had my doubts but I’m glad I made the purchase it probably already payed for itself lots of coffee lovers at home. Great tasting coffee at home!

Love it, strong coffe, best option for me that love Cuban coffee. It’s super easy to clean

It's a very good machine, top notch build quality and bought it with a big discount by creating a bestbuy account. It's my first expresso machine but I already have experience using my father's expresso machine during time (He owns many of them). The only issue with it was some scratches on the top that seems that the manufacturer tried to fix applying a similar paint. That not make me any difference so I decided to keep it.
