Mark Martin (quality: 5.0)	03.04.2007	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Not great but I would buy another. Good value.

Chris Schmelzer	05.07.2000	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Good value if purchased on sale or refurb

Bill Kendall (quality: 5.0)	02.05.2006	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Wait for the annual sale to buy; be faithful to follow the instructions; save the box for the inevitable replacement under warrenty; DO call the 1-800 tech number for help. They're friendly!

Sean Strugnell	07.26.2003	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Good value for $$$, but shot quality is inconsistent.

Philip M Fortman	10.11.2012	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Well worth the price!

Liz Runkle (quality: 3.0)	12.13.2007	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: I'm keeping this one until it is beyond repair... it's 12 now and may last much longer.

Brendan Getchel (quality: 7.2)	08.31.2001	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Not great, not horrible, just plain satisfactory. A very respectable first-time unit for $250 or LESS.

Eric C (quality: 7.8)	07.13.2003	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Excellent shots with fine grind and preheated portafilter. Great value.

Darla Wiese (quality: 7.0)	04.09.2006	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Easy to use, quality results, sturdy, but I agree that for a true coffee connoisseur it is easily outgrown. Excellant for the above-avg. coffee lover though.

Seth Sonenthal (quality: 6.3)	06.24.2003	Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: Great unit for once or twice a day use if you can get it on sale.

Patrick Anwandter (quality: 7.6)	07.22.2004	Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: Great for the price - call it the first step in the stairway to E61

Joe Foo (quality: 7.0)	07.08.2002	Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: Solid machine, easy to use. Don't pay list for it. Skip the grinder model.

Darren Conrad (quality: 7.5)	10.18.2002	Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: A great buy if on sale for those wanting a no-fuss machine backed by excellent customer service!

Josh Baer (quality: 5.7)	09.08.2007	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: The Calvin Coolidge of espresso: there's better, and there's worse, but it's pretty darn endearing nonetheless.

Ben Moore (quality: 4.0)	12.31.2007	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: 10+ years of faithful service from my Proteo without a problem. This should say it all.

Ann Phillips (quality: 4.8)	05.10.2005	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: Better than a Krups Disposable!

Geoff Corey (quality: 4.5)	12.16.2004	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: All in all it is a good machine at a good price.

J M (quality: 6.0)	01.29.2008	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: learn how to replace the seals for the steam wand yourself and you should be happy

Glenn408	12.10.2001	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: Great draws if you can get everything PERFECT. The machine needs to cooperate somewhat...

Kim Allen (quality: 6.0)	10.13.2005	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: Love it and would highly recommend to the novice espresso maker.
