This review is from: Ascaso DR.172 Dream 16-Bar-Pump Espresso Machine, Baby Pink (Kitchen)

This is a great working espresso machine. I'm used to having only the plastic ones so the full aluminum is pretty impressive.
You definitely get a richer tasting extraction from this compared to the usual home models that I have had.
You can feel the difference in the filter holder, heavy duty.
The crema is outstanding and rich. Pods work really good on this machine too.
I would definitely recommend this baby.
