General Comments

I have been using a Starbucks Barista Athena for about 6 years or so, regularly at a friend's and absolutely loved the coffee, and the crema it produced. The coffee was not bitter and I was so impressed.
Finally I purchased one of the newer ones as they were on sale.
Each cup has been bitter, although I did the exact same procedures and used the same coffee as in the Athena... but I am really disappointed and am going to return the machine.
