    We love these coffee machines but they can be fickle and easily break and not work correctly. When you get used to the great coffee it provides on a daily basis, you get very upset when errors and issues come up that prevent regular operations. I’d strongly suggest you purchase the Best Buy warranty si you can trade it back in when something goes wrong.

    Nice espresso from time to time. I bought this knowing I’d have spend time learning different beans, grinds, etc. I’ve made at least 2 dozen coffees in the last 10 days or so I’ve had this testing things out. I’ve made half that we’re good and half that were just ok. The reason for the lower score is when I found a setting that worked, I would make them the exact same way (first and second cup for me and a first for more wife in the morning) and it would come out completely different. I left the temp, grind, and tamping all the same yet within 2 hours and 3 coffees, even the pressure gauge registered differently. I am sure this machine and brand are great and there could potentially be something I missed (grind and beans were the same as well). But after 2 weeks and consistent settings, at least for this machine it was yielding different results.

    It gets dirty quick. I also hate that I have to descale it so much. The pressure for coffee needs to be at a certain level as well and I can’t even figure out how to make it come out like “honey” as they say In the tutorial videos. Other than that it makes great coffee. Overtime it gets bad.

    Great looking machine, but only has dual wall filters. For a $699.00 machine the espresso quality is mediocre at best. For this money get yourself a Breville Barista Express, doesn't get any better than that.
