Bottom Line: Very well design machine for home use, would be better if it was cheaper. But as a whole, I find I have no regrets from buying it compared to a HX machine.

Bottom Line: Yeah Baby! This is an espresso machine Ferrari, with performance to match spectacular looks. But unlike a Ferrari it's also value for money.
