A heat exchanger, big boiler, E61 type grouphead machine, all for under $750?

A year ago, we wouldn't have though it possible. Heck, two years ago, you couldn't even think under $1,200 for this kind of machine. But today we have it - the Expobar Office Pulser, a no frills machine that packs all the above and more into a nice, $749 package.

The machine is big. It's narrow. Some think it's ugly. We think that beauty is in the eye of the beholder; or rather, the cup of the beholder. In our first look at this product, we're going to take a quick look at "the looks", the fit, the finish, the operation, and the output we get from this machine.

But it's important to keep this in mind: this is just our First Look, based on about a week of testing. There's no way we can give a full and complete evaluation of the Spanish-made Expobar Office Pulser in that time, nor do we pretend to. For the complete goods, you'll have to wait for the Detailed Review.

This First Look gives you our initial impressions, and takes you in a virtual walk through the first week of "ownership" of the product, as it were. We've got a lot to learn, but hopefully you'll find this initial evalution useful.
