The CONS:
This machine is so light you have to hold the machine to insert or remove the portafilter. The portafilter is almost identical to the Saeco but doesn't work as well; with the stock filter the first two shots give very poor crema (this is probably temperature related since later shots are better). The water tank won't hold enough water for my wife and I to make espresso for a day and it uses a lot of water for the rinse and a blank shot to get the portafilter hot enough. Another annoyance is you have to remove the drip tray every time you need to fill the water. The automatic off is nice in one way but cumbersome in that I can't run the machine from a timer. Because I can't run it from a timer and it shuts off, the cup warmer feature is useless and the portafilter is not hot enough for the first two espresso draws. It uses a "Rinse" feature to preheat the portafilter which helps to compensate for this but that only works the first shot and doesn't get the filter hot enough. This means our first shots are not as hot as we like and the crema is not as good. This becomes a real pain as we make two then go back 45 minutes later to make two more (one for each of us) and go through this all over again usually for three cups each. The lights and bells are cute but don't make the machine work any better. The instructions are poor especially for how to use the water tank and the rinse.
The Pros:
I like to machines appearance. The machine heats very quickly. The removable water tank - once you figure it out - is nice and easy to fill (which is a must because you do it a lot). If you are into cappuccino or latte' the steamer is fast, powerful and adequate to make a lot of steamed' milk.


Once set up it operates very smoothly. The temperature / ready lights are easy to understand and it gets to temperature very quickly, even when pulling multiple shots. Also, I love the way it looks.
Only shortcoming: frothing the milk takes a bit more technique than my previous two machines. An easier "self-frothing" wand would be an inexpensive and worthwhile upgrade.



Does what it wants. Sometimes you have to wait 60 seconds for the pump to come on.
Sometimes the error light comes on for no apparent reason and you have to fool with it.
The descale light came on after 5 weeks of use. Descaler is 14.00! The machine is very lightweight and moves around a lot on you.
Instructions are very poor.
Frother works well. This is my first espresso machine so what do I know. I love the drinks it makes but I wish it was more predictable in its functions.
