 Okay, but... August 19, 2010

This maker got great reviews, but the machine I purchased was not the quality you would expect for the price. My machine is almost all plastic and the doors and trays do not fit snugly. I had to ship it back under warranty in under 3 months as it had quit working. I had to foot the shipping to the warranty repair center to the tune of $35.
When it was returned, day before yesterday, it was dirty and the repair order stated it was either my beans or water as the cause.
We have used it for under 10 cups since and it's already not working properly again using their coffee.
I would not purchase again. I will say the customer service rep was very nice on the phone.... but that's not enough when spending $500.

I had an "El Cheapo" espresso/coffee combo from Krups that worked well for many years until the pump gave out. I scoured the Internet for a worthy machine that I could depend on and purchased one of the Breville espresso makers. I returned it the next day. It made terrible weak coffee. Then I happened to be wandering through Wal Mart and saw a $70.00 Hamilton Beach machine. It made great coffee with crema and it was strong enough to froth milk. The next morning, I went to make a cup and the machine had leaked all over my countertop! I was lucky to have unplugged it the night before or else there could have been an electrical fire. Back to Wal Mart it went.
Neither of these machines were automatic and I had to grind my own coffee beans (which I prefer, even with my regular coffee). I saw the Saeco, read the reviews and said, "If this doesn't perform, I'm not making espresso ever again." When it arrived, I followed the "Quick Start" instructions and filled the hopper with my French roast beans. I crossed my fingers and pressed the "On" button. When all the lights were ready, I pressed the "Coffee" button. In about 15 seconds I had one of the most beautiful cups of espresso complete with a heady froth of crema!
I was so impressed, I made another cup. Ahhh, heavenly. Of course, I couldn't sleep that night - the caffeine replaced the blood in my veins.
The milk steamer wand is also mighty powerful. It froths milk just like a commercial machine. Something my Krups didn't do very well.
In summation, this is a wonderful machine in its price range. I highly recommend it. Oh, and by the way, the clown who gave it a 1-star review? That's a hoax. There is no such wording on the box or in the manual.

This was the notification on the outside of the box - I was stunned and horrified and even (and currently have) issues returning it. Do not buy this product, the website does not indicate this info prior to purchase.
Terrific espresso July 10, 2010

The machine is wonderful except that I have to wait too long to make more coffee after using the steamer.
Love it!!!!! July 7, 2010

I have had this machine for a few weeks now, and love it!!! After years of the hassle of steam machines, this is such a treat!!! It is so easy to use, and clean that I look forward to my daily cups of espresso, instead of looking at it as a chore. I also save counter space, as I do not have to share it with a grinder, anymore. It is also very nice to have a HOT cup, finally!!! Every other machine just never seemed to get hot enough. I highly recommend this machine to all!!!:)
