Problem with a leak
I was very excited about this and at first really liked it. After about a week I noticed that it was slowly leaking water out of the front, right under its label and on to the PID gauge. It was also not gaining any pressure in the boiler any longer. So I had to return it. Iâm going to give another one a try and see how it goes.

The Ferrari of Espresso Machines, works great until it needs repair (about every 1.5 years) $$$$
Like: When it’s running well, it makes amazing espresso and excellent foamy milk. It’s a BEAUTIFUL machine. We make excellent lattes, espressos, and americano’s when it’s working.Unfortunately, when it’s not working, it’s a frustrating experience trying to get it repaired. They have to order parts from Italy, you can be without your machine for weeks and weeks, then when you get it back, it may or may not work well. We get it repaired through Seattle Coffee Gear. They used to be awesome for repairs; not so much now. We have owned our machine for 9 years. It currently has an intermittent failure to not turn on. SCG said it worked great for them. So now we play, “Home or Starbucks?” every morning. Will it turn on? Will it not? Who knows? Haven’t found a machine that works as well when this one works.Good luck to you if you choose this machine.

This is a Serious machine, you need to be Committed to the Art of Coffee.
We had A Breville 870 and it was easy and an amazing bang for the buck. This is a serious step up in Quality and Complexity. You have to Love the Art of Quality Espresso and the time it takes to get the best Coffee possible at Home. For us , it is totally worth it and is a High Build Quality Appliance that will hold it’s value . It also looks that part of a great Appliance The Quality of the Coffee is top tier and the grinder they make is required due to the powdery fine grind required to get the best performance and flavor. We tried other grinders without good results at all.If you pay this much for the Machine, get the grinder too. It Will save you a month of screwing around and getting frustrated with a lot of bad coffee and not working right. The grind required is powdery. All there products are great.
