This review is FIRST USE ONLY, after few uses, I'll post new review if necessary.
I just replaced my burned up Nuova Simonelli Oscar Pro.
Makes VERY good espresso, nice rich, I like it!
Froths real good and creammy, but takes time to heat up the milk.
You set the included cups on the drip tray, start the machine, and they vibrate out of place, losing some espresso if you're not paying attention.
The biggest challenge w/this machine is the filter & basket.
Replacing filter basket, is a real &^%$#. The docs say they improved the basket w/the permanent spring to hold the filter. Well, that's a sorry excuse for a spring. Falls in my used grind bucket every time. It's too hot to hadnle, I'll have to pick it up quickly and 'drop' it back on before I burn myself.
Overall, I'm happy w/this, so far. We'll see how it acts after a few cups.
