1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother -- very poor quality, August 22, 2010

Don't bother. A quite inferior product. I bought the first one in Dec 2009, returned it in April with a broken plastic handle on the carafe and a broken plastic nozzle head. Cheaply made. The replacement is now about to go back (July now) as one of the buttons on the front has disappeared inside the machine and it no longer is able to froth the milk. A very cheap quality machine. It made some decent espresso/cappuccino in between (about once a day or every second day), but a machine that lasts three months (twice) is not worth it to me. My previous machine lasted about 10 years. DO NOT BUY IT!

This espresso machine makes wonderful crema, 15 bar pump makes it perfect, I was thinking to get me a Gaggia Carezza, but it was $100 more of what I paid for this one, while the results are the same (or better if we consider price/quality) the body is plastic, but it is heavy and strong, This machine froths milk perfectly, it creates nice foam before boiling the milk, the frother is low so I have to use a short pitcher
