   I bought this as I wanted to have the option of using ground coffee or a quick alternative which in this case means using ESE pods. The machine works well with both methods. I was a little disappointed with the plastic spoon/tamper that came with it but it worked wellenough. I have however, now bought stainless steel versions of both these items.
   The machine looks fantastic and fits really well into my small kitchen area. It is well made and everything feels ‘quality’. I really like the facility of being able to program the machine for various functions and this is really easy and quick to do. Hopefully, having programmed it for the ‘soft’ water in my area this will prolong the time before descaling is needed.
   The alternative I had when buying this machine was the Nespresso Pixie, but I decided that this was a ‘one trick pony’ and did not offer alternatives to the capsules. I definitely made the right choice.
   The milk frother is absolutely foolproof and has worked every time I’ve used it for cappuccinos which have been very smooth.
   I fully recommend this machine for anyone with limited space, an eye for good functional design and who likes coffee!

   This is a good little espresso machine. Was a little cautious when buying based on some of the negative feedback, but 2 weeks in I’m more than happy with it. I’ve dropped a star as the milk wand is too short, you can only really use a small cup or jug to do the milk, anything along the size of a 500ml Pyrex jug is too big. Also the position of the buttons means attaching the coffee holder (don’t know correct name) needs to be done with care as you may automatically start the machine.

   With regards to the coffee; I find a medium grind firmly tamped gives a good espresso with a nice thick crema. The ability to set each of the buttons to a different cup size is a handy feature.

   1 year warranty doesn’t help at all now. Whole machine got clogged and there’s zero way to fix it yourself. Called the help line and they just said it needed to be replaced and there’s nothing they can do because it’s out of warranty. I’m out $450 and can’t make coffee.

   Beautiful slim design and the best espresso coffee ever in a minute when I set up the machine a day before. Leaving the house 4-5AM nothing can beat that!

   What a beautiful machine, definitely an upgrade from my Moka pot.
   What is espresso → 7-8 grams of grounds & ~1oz (30 grams) water.
   This machine barely holds 11 grams of grounds & the “single” setting puts out ~2oz of water.
   With some work, we might be able to make an espresso.

   OK I quite like to use something before I leave feedback….now we’ve been using this machine for a couple of days….and i absolutely love it….before this machine i had a Jackstone house and that was utter rubbish as it leaks and makes awful coffee…..what a difference this machine does…..it makes great coffee and gives you the opportunity to also use either ground coffee or pods….i have ready reviews here and also on coffeemakers.us.com Italy and the reviews are mixed, however when you read and see that so many Italians give this good praise i decided to get this, and so far i have no regrets, as it is easy to work out, can make different settings for how hot you want your steam/coffee, so yeah great wee gadget! The only thing for me was that the descaler was burst, however coffeemakers.us.com were very helpful and did help out with their customer service….these things happen, hence why its still gets full marks for me as i can’t really fault the machine

   Worked great for about 2 months but now the pressure is too low to create crème, I have trouble shot every possible issue from ground size to descaling but the pressure has dropped and continues to worsen. Apparently faulty pumps are an issue with this model.
