Modernistic small dual-use boiler espresso machine with froth aider, pressurized filter baskets, visible water reservoir, and soft-touch backlit controls.

Bottom Line: With the addition of the non-pressurized baskets, this baby can make some killer expresso and it will look great while doing it.

Bottom Line: Don't be tempted by its low price and good looks. Possible to get a good shot if all conditions are absolutely perfect, which is like, impossible.

Bottom Line: For the money, an ok machine. Great steaming and fantastic asthetics. Make sure you have a good grinder and some patience.

Bottom Line: I can't recommend this machine to anyone who is seriously interested in pulling good espresso shots.

Bottom Line: Good flavor but probably under extracted, almost no crema.

Bottom Line: Brilliant machine - great aesthetics and value for money, but when will they get the filter right?
