Bottom Line: Appears to be a good starter espresso maker, but would probably be irritating to someone who has experience and wants more control.

Bottom Line: Reasonably priced pump machine which can make some good drinks -- once you lose the crema disc.

Bottom Line: Decent starter machine, but adds a variable or two to the process that serious beginners (going to go beyond a cup at home once in awhile) may want to avoid.

Bottom Line: "Briel", a Portuguese name, translates into English as "Edsel", into Russian as 'Lada', and into Serbian as "Yugo".
