Good Points

Makes excellent espresso's, cappuccino's and lattes. Good piston, water really hot, easy to use.


Bad Points

Coffee sometimes sticks to water outlet when removing piston after making you first shot.


General Comments

I bought this espresso machine because it's relatively affordable for a machine that really makes a good Italian espresso cup. In search of the perfect shot you probably also need a good coffee grinder since the quality really also depends on the coffee you use. I like the timeless design, the heavy piston with all messing material, gold water reservoir that really serves hot water, waterfilling is very easy without taking out the reservoir, cleaning very easy. I'm still thinking of buying the Gaggia MDF coffee grinder with tray but then it becomes a more expensive hobby.

I have a time clock that sets the machine on just before I wake up so I can directly make a good shot. However, the machine warms up very fast so you don't have to wait long when you want to make a fast cup of espresso or latte.

The milksteamer works also excellent.
