A workhorse., October 9, 2007
I've used this machine almost daily for the last 6 years, and it's showing no signs of slowing down. Perfect 3 part shots every time - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Built Like A Tank!!, January 25, 2008
I've had mine since April of 2005, it gets used 2 to 3 times per day, and I must say that this is the finest espresso machine I've ever used. Having come from a stove top espresso maker, to a steam driven machine and now this, I can say that for the price (I got mine for $225) this is an amazing machine. Not quite as good as the Rancilio Silvia, but its better if you keep in mind that this machine costs half than the silvia. Makes awesome espressos. Makes plenty of crema, the presurized portafilter does not need to be tamped. I love this machine, you will too. Its very hard to go wrong with this one. Solid build quality from Saeco, made in Italy. Don't settle for a chinese steam, or entry level pump driven machine. This is the one...

Workhorse, October 6, 2008
This espresso machine has been a workhorse in my house for over 3 years - used day in and day out by my caffeine obsessed husband. It makes a great cup of espresso, foams great and is not temperamental. I think he barely maintains it.
Get the black graphite as it is cheaper than the SS and looks nicer I think.
