Using it for 6 months and no trouble… easy to use

Esta máquina de espresso es una maravilla, es muy bonita, elegante y funcional. La disfruto muchísimo a diario y hace excelentes espressos; muy fácil de limpiar, y por su tamaño ahorras espacio en la cocina. Recomiendo comprar un buen Tamper metálico. Recomiendo usarla únicamente con agua purificada, ya sea de garrafón o botellas.Mis ajustes son: Temperatura de agua “alta”, dureza de agua “soft” y apagado automático “9 minutos”

I bought this after moving to Canada from Sydney Australia, and found I couldn't get a decent coffee ANYWHERE (filter/drip isn't real coffee).This machine filled the void in my soul and tummy.Pros:1. The baskets are pressurized so it's impossible to screw up the shot2. The steam wand is sort of automatic so you don't need to have steaming technique. Foolproof if you love heaps of foam3. This delux model has a "hot milk" function if froth isn't your thing.4. It heats up SUPER fast. I turn it on in the morning and by the time I've grabbed my cup and filled the group head with coffee it's ready to go5. Great crema6. It's customisable! I haven't played around with this, but you can adjust the water temperature, and the length of shots7. It's so easy to use and you get a great coffee at home8. It came with a sample of the descaler stuff - bonus.Cons:1. The tamper it comes with sucks a bit, it's plastic and has a scoop at the other end. It doesn't impact the quality of coffee, but would have been nice if it was a real tamper2. Again, not a deal breaker - but the baskets (for single and double shots) seem to fall out really easily when you try to knock the coffee out.The pros far outweigh the very minor cons. This is an excellent machine for at home.
