Bottom Line: I really enjoy drinking the coffee once I get it to my liking. Better than a cheapo machine. Not as good as a $1,000. one.

Bottom Line: Yes you can make a slightly better cup with a fancy machine but in terms of bang for buck this one takes some beating.

Bottom Line: Well-built. Delivers adequate, but not great espresso. Good all-around for price range. If perfection is a must, go elsewhere.
