Good coffee ☕, bad mechanism.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The water pump don't last, the first machine was broken in 5 month's of use, they send me a replacement with problems they have to replace it for a new one, that one last about 3 months send it back to them they fixed it and now 4 week's later the same issue again. The coffee flavor is good but the water pump always have issues.

Would have liked for it to work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The machine looks well built but it doesn't work. Water leaks into the bottom tray whenever making espresso or using the steam wand. A full tank will be near empty after 3-5 times using either function. Maybe because of the water leaks, the pressure never got to the "espresso range" as per the manual and a shot would be done in 5 seconds which seem way too quick. Also tried different beans, different grind settings, different amount of grounds, different amount of pressure...none seems to work. Gave up. Very tempted to give it another try but have been seeing some bad reviews as well. Not sure if the later batches of this machine are bad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGrinder Keeps Jamming
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Grinder keeps jamming. In spite of the direction(s) provided in the user guide to clean the upper/lower burr. Don't buy full price like me. It's a junk for the high the price. Find sale.

BE AWARE - No price match beyond 15 days
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not happy that I see the price dropped $140 within a month after I bought this. And best buy says they cannot price match or do anything about it because it passes 15 days return period. So if you want to shop at Bestbuy, be ready to regret after 15 days.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exceed my expectations, I used every day, is faster than any other machine
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Noise level
Issues with gauge valve.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The machine is noisy, and it's a miss sometimes, the coffee grinder stops in time, and sometimes it just keeps dispensing making a mess. The espresso gauge will not work until parts have to be removed and changed. It's just a bit complicated. I would not repurchase it.

Not worth money
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can not say perfect but it is a good machine. Steaming takes 1min to work and not powerful enough. It’s been 2months since I purchased this Espresso machine and espresso not that hot and not brewing in right pressure every time. INTERESTING!! Keep wasting my expensive coffee beans.
