This machine is the only machine in Isomac's upper end that doesn't feature an E61 grouphead; instead it offers a solid block grouphead for heat conduction. It is a full heat exchanger machine

Bottom Line: A terrific machine. Highly recommended. Try Chris's Machristay Italian roast for an excellent full-bodied espresso.

Bottom Line: A very good machine for both lattes and straight shots that can take a little while to get comfortable with.
Howard Long (quality: 7.2) 12.12.2003 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Beautiful styling, all stainless construction, (even the frame) solidly built, pulls great shots with tons of crema, attractive price. This machine is a winner!

Bottom Line: The Rlax is a funny name for an espresso maker that can pump out enough high quality shots to power a small town.
Mark Griffith (quality: 7.9) 01.16.2004 Rating: 9.4
Bottom Line: I have to believe this machine is as good if not better than Livia. If you don't NEED an E61, this may be your machine.
