“Fun little pot that is faster than our drip pot and makes way better coffee. Also better than our last, recently deceased espresso machine! Really. I thought this would be a temporary fix, but this should last forever! I bought a new gasket after maybe two months and they are cheap. Ours is the three-cup, which really makes one small mug in American-speak. Takes five minutes start to finish on our gas stove-top. Use espresso beans and grind at home for best results.” .
“This is simply an amazing machine. I have had NO trouble with it whatsoever. The quality of the espresso is better than what I get out of the coffee shops, using their beans. It took me a long time to tune in the perfect cup of espresso/latte/cappuccino, and there are variables, but I love this machine. I have poured over 2,500 shots through it. Not a single problem with the machine. Many mistakes by the operator, but I will take my espresso out of this machine before any store bought cup-o-Joe.” .
