 Sturdy, easy to use and clean, makes great espresso. Will buy this over Saeco Spidem Villa July 26, 2009

Update on 10/30/09: I found the price fluctuating so much and I am compelled to update my review. Reviews are generally given for a certain price range. This is a great value under 200USD, about right at 250, and becomes expensive at over 300. In general, espresso machines are significantly more expensive than they should be.
This machine is easy to use and clean, and makes great espresso. It does not grind coffee beans so you need a stand-alone grinder or may buy ground coffee (for espresso machines). It has a small footprint and is aesthetically pleasing. At about half the price of the fully automatic Saeco Spidem Villa, this sure is a better buy.
Fantastic machine for the money! July 18, 2009

I have owned this machine since Dec '08 and it has performed beautifully. We make 4 shots a day, 7 days a week and it makes a wonderful double shot of espresso with perfect crema each time. It also makes good frothed milk, but does take a little longer than some of the more expensive espresso makers on the market (however, I rarely use the frothing feature so it's not a big drawback for me). I'm not sure what the other reviewer meant by it being a "manual" machine. Possibly - and I'm just guessing - "manual" means that it does not have a built-in grinder so you have to grind the beans with another machine and then pack the the portafilter yourself. If so, most espresso machines are like that and it's not a big deal for the majority of espresso drinkers. I do want to add that I did not buy this machine in a "new" condition from Amazon. I bought it used on an auction internet site (you guess which one:) for only $139.00! I also bought a used Saeco burr grinder from the same site and I am very happy with that too (see my other review). Either way, new or used, I would recommend this espresso machine as it makes great espresso shots and is hundreds less than many of the other machines (even at full retail price).
A magnificent semi-automatic espresso machine January 11, 2010

After my old, cheap combo drip/espresso coffee maker gave up the ghost, I decided to invest in a serious espresso machine. I followed the advice given by Alton Brown from his Good Eats episode on espresso and wound up with the same machine that he uses. It's a lovely semi-automatic machine. By semi-automatic, I mean that the machine pushes water through the portafilter to make coffee as long as the switch is on; it's up to you to decide when to shut it off. Same goes for the milk frothing attachment. But the frother attachment is a big, wide plastic tube which is easy to clean, the water tank has enough capacity for a week's worth of espresso, and the pump can make for a lovely shot of espresso with a beautiful head of crema.
I think I would have preferred the design esthetic of a previous model, where the brewing and frothing switches were on/off switches as opposed to up/down buttons, but that quibble aside, this is a lovely machine for do-it-yourself espresso and cappuccino.
 fine machine but not as good as saeco aroma 30013 February 15, 2008

Fine machine. Brews an excellent shot with good head. Heats up quickly and the durability has been excellent. Steams well but it definitely takes longer than I'm used to. I have this one at work but the 30013 at home which I think is an even better model. Brews and steams much quicker and while the case is the same the push buttons on this one feel less solid than the flip switches on the 30013.

Great machine. As anything, once you get it down, it makes super espresso and frothed drinks. By far the best performing machine for the money.
