Amazon.com Review
With 1050 watts of power and 18 bars of pump pressure, this traditional single-group coffee machine easily produces espressos and cappuccinos. Its 11-ounce, internal, aluminum boiler has a zero recovery time for continuous brewing of hot drinks without waiting. There's a cup warmer on top to keep cups warm and a maximum warm-up time of only two minutes. Allowing for individual preferences, this ESE-adaptable unit works with either ground coffee or individual coffee serving pods. Its semi-commercial-quality components include a solid-steel body and chassis with a rust-inhibitor, powder-coated, baked-on finish. Produced in Italy by Grimac, this coffee machine measures 12 by 12-1/2 by 13-4/5 inches and comes with a chrome-plated brass pod and pod porta filter, porta filter for ground coffee with double exit, and a one- and two-cup filter, as well as a spoon, tamper, and detailed instruction manual. --Catie Unger

We got less than 2 years of service...performance decline after 1 year.,

This review is from: Espressione Grace Pump Espresso Machine, Silver (Kitchen)
Actually we've owned it just under 2 years. I bought this espresso machine as a Christmas gift to my husband in 2004. I agree with everyone who says that it looks great on the counter. It certainly has impressed everyone who has seen it. Very substantial and heavy. For the first 10 months it made a crackin' cup of espresso and cappucino.
Around the one year mark we started to see a definite decline in its performace. The first thing we noticed is that the espresso wasn't getting as hot as it used to and the pressure was declining. If we wanted hot espresso then we had to let it warm up about 10 minutes. That seemed a bit odd but we adapted. Then the milk frother started to leak water really bad the moment we turned the machine on. (And yes, we let all of the steam escape by opening the valve after we used it.) Yet everytime we turned the machine on the water would pour out even though the valve was closed tight. And tonight the machine completely ka-put on me as I was making an after-dinner cappucino. I turned it on, let it heat up, pressed the button and it sounds like the pump has died. WAAAAAAAHHH Just for the record, we used this machine 1-3 times a day practically everyday. I know that's a lot of use but I really expected a better track record for the cost. Now I have to climb into the attic and pull out my old $30 Mr. Coffee espresso maker until I find a replacement for the Espressione.

Outstanding Performance,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Espressione Grace Pump Espresso Machine, Blue (Kitchen)
I received my grace machine after much researching on which machines had the most power, pump size and materials that the machine is made of, (not the plastic or metal covers) but on the inside. It heats up so fast that some times I get confused if the hot light means ready or not. I have not found an equal to this machine for the specifications for the money. I would recomend it to my mother and to a total stranger like you.

ESPRESSO LOVER-GREAT MACHINE FOR LOW PRICE,
By ESPRESSO MAVEN (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews I have done research on machines for a while looking for a good one to get now and found that this one is made by Grimac in Italy. They have been around for a long time specializing in commercial machines. Well they spared no expense in this baby. It has all the quality and features you want. A sturdy metal housing, stainless steel cup warming area, stainless steel back splash, stainless steel drip tray. Heavy brass coated in chrome plating filter holder and a clear lexan back so you can see the water level in the water tank (thst is a great look). An a special filter basket with a valve to give you amazing crema every time no matter the grind. 2115|R23SDCO9JSK1OS;2115|R6B72R4V9F0VK;2115|R17W3KYFO3XSHJ;
