I wrote the review below when I got the machine. Now two months later it won''t steam. I''ve tried everything and it wont'' work. Even though this was a gift, I guess you get what you pay for with this machine.

After working as a barista at several private coffee shops I was worried about getting an espresso machine that would fit my budget and my coffee tastes. I got this machine a few days ago as a Christmas present and have had no problems with it. It heats up quick and is fairly easy to use. It does take a little getting used to some things though. It does take longer to steam cold milk than what I was used to, and I discovered that it was harder to tamp the coffee grounds down, but it makes a decent mocha or latte. I liked that it did froth the milk very well so there was a nice foam and brews the espresso with a nice crema on top. I''m going to experiment with different coffee brands and even try the E.S.E. pods. One thing I was worried about was the reviews about water leaking from the bottom of the machine. I discovered that after using the steamer it releases the water and pressure out the bottom into the drip tray. I didn''t really believe the directions when they said to empty the tray after each use, but it definitely does need to be done. I would have given it 5 stars, but I think the learning curve with the grounds isn''t as easy to use as some other machines out there.

This machine makes great espresso for a great price. The crema (foam on top) is always impeccable. BUT there is one extremely common issue with this machine that is also extremely easy to fix.

PROBLEM: machine fails to pump out any water (even with full tank & green light on)

SOLUTION: you are tamping (pressing) the coffee grounds down TOO tightly in the basket! Take the grounds out, shuffle them around to break up clumps, and place back in basket with decreased tamping pressure. Works like a charm.

So being from Italy, I know good coffee. Been through many mid range cappuccino makers and they all sucked. This machine is by far the best I ever owned. The espresso crema is outstanding. Don''t waste your money on high dollar machines, by this one. You will be very happy.

PS make sure you read the milk frothing directions. You have to purge the water before steam. Easy process.

Machine broke after about 6 cups of coffee. Pumps ran but water failed to pump from tank. Steamer worked so it must have been some issue with the pump delivering to the grounds. Made a nice cup of coffee otherwise, like the previous reviews said, nothing amazing but a nice crema.

Came back to edit my review after 5 mos of use, Ive had no problems at all with this machine past the initial issue. Might have just been a new machine fluke.

I like this machine because it takes up little room on my counter, it makes a good shot of espresso and it''s reasonably priced. I also like that it has a storage area for the accessories. They don''t get lost in my junk drawer.
