Kevin Johnson (quality: 6.0)	01.12.2008	Rating: 3.2
Bottom Line: If you have no other options, this can make espresso at home. Though, I'd rather drink from a french press or a cheap coffee maker than drink the Briel's espresso.

Kevin Carlson (quality: 6.0)	05.18.2003	Rating: 3.8
Bottom Line: OK if you like barely warm Espresso

Ryan Palmer (quality: 5.5)	03.11.2007	Rating: 4.4
Bottom Line: For those of you who really hate good coffee, here's you machine! Cheap too!

Lane Wilkins (quality: 6.3)	10.07.2004	Rating: 4.8
Bottom Line: prevent buyers remorse,spend more money for quality espresso!

Andy Panda	09.25.2010	Rating: 5.0
Bottom Line: Not for everyone - but for small spaces (office, cabin etc) it is great - can make good espresso if you learn its quirks.

Clif Swinford (quality: 5.8)	02.12.2003	Rating: 5.0
Bottom Line: Excellent for the money, but you get what you pay for.

Joel Stevens (quality: 6.0)	12.08.2000	Rating: 5.2
Bottom Line: By for occasional use only

Larry Cater (quality: 5.5)	12.03.2005	Rating: 6.0
Bottom Line: Sometimes the best shot is the first one for a product, and R&D should leave well enough alone. Pump machine with good bloodlines, but needs TLC to brew to its best.

Steve Spinella	10.14.2010	Rating: 6.2
Bottom Line: My first espresso pump, after 1000's of cups I'm leaving town and passing it on.

Joe Holmes (quality: 5.0)	05.19.2000	Rating: 6.4
Bottom Line: Great crema, so-so froth, make this a good, inexpensive starter machine.

John Green (quality: 5.3)	02.24.2004	Rating: 6.6
Bottom Line: It makes good espresso. With lots of thick crema. It's cheap.

Lisa Ellis (quality: 5.0)	02.11.2001	Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: Great initially but needs to be replaced after 5- 6 years. Be prepared for puddles.

Michael Hast	05.17.2007	Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: I hold the ES-15 Lido in the same contempt that you would a compact sedan. Yes, it does it's job. Yes, it's reliable and efficient. But, it will never be a Porsche.

Skip Thomsen (quality: 6.6)	01.10.2004	Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: For the money, there's nothing comparable. If you can afford $200, you can do much better.

Teresa Vonfeldt-Gross (quality: 4.0)	04.12.2004	Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: Lovely little entry-level machine. Lasted me ten years+!
