Charles Gauthier (quality: 10.0)	04.21.2013	Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: Like all sub 500 machines the Roma was designed to attract uneducated buyers. But if you pair it with real accessories it is a fair quality first machine. Makes a great component in a $500 system... till you upgrade.

Ben Egger (quality: 10.0)	09.25.2010	Rating: 4.8
Bottom Line: Cheap price tag. Still works after 2 years. With minimal/cheap upgrades it is possible to make 2 drinkable capacinos with this machine.

Don Ferron (quality: 9.0)	07.23.2008	Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: Time will have the final say, but first impression - can't go wrong with the Cafe Roma!

Marc Tischler (quality: 8.5)	07.26.2007	Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: This has been a great starter machine for me at a great price. Goodbye Starbucks.

Sean Sweet (quality: 8.3)	09.18.2007	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Minimal fuss/expertise results in truly great shots and lattes. Tip: froth your milk before pulling shot.

Dean W (quality: 8.3)	07.03.2008	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: Great first machine!

Airwon Ojay (quality: 8.0)	10.09.2007	Rating: 7.0

Stephen Rees (quality: 7.7)	07.26.2007	Rating: 8.2

Patrick Armstrong (quality: 7.3)	07.11.2007	Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: Works for me

Björn Kasper (quality: 6.5)	12.26.2008	Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: Excellent machine, steam wand has been redesigned and the picture should be updated to reflect it.

Jason Smith (quality: 5.3)	10.31.2006	Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: This is a good machine for the casual user but should be overlooked if you want a great espresso.

David Batley (quality: 5.0)	01.21.2008	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: A great way to start.

Jennifer G (quality: 5.0)	05.04.2008	Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Sleek and stylish, this baby performs like a dream while not taking your paycheck for a ride.

Dennis O'Brien (quality: 4.7)	07.14.2006	Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: Excellent machine for a medium-coffee-geek who just wants to build a great latte in the morning.

Roch Tourigny (quality: 4.0)	08.29.2006	Rating: 6.6
Bottom Line: save a bit more and buy something else

Jean Cayer (quality: 4.0)	03.14.2012	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Great first timer machine. I make at least 4 double shots / day. Plus I bring the machine in every party that I'm invited and make coffee for the gang :). So far so good... (1 year plus)

Larry Keyes (quality: 4.0)	10.11.2009	Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: For under $300 you cannot find a better Espressor maker - no brag, just fact.

Annette Roper (quality: 3.8)	07.31.2006	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: Performs well for the price, but the coffee produced is watery and not strong enough for my liking.

Marcy Pate (quality: 3.5)	03.11.2008	Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: Disappointed, but hopeful

Kerry Phillips (quality: 3.3)	07.16.2006	Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: If you are a newcomer and want a machine thats easy to use and in the mid range of consumer brewers, this is a good product.
