My wife and I have several coffee and espresso makers for more than 30 years. We were drinking coffee before it became popular here in the greater Seattle area. But this is the most I've ever spent on a cup of coffee / espresso machine. We have had this espresso machine now since January 2010, today, June 1, 2010. A period of daily use are the best judge of a product. This product has very little skill to make a delicious cup of coffee, easy to use, easy to clean. After the first week we presented our drip coffee in stock. We thought initially we would both drip / espresso machines. Forget it! Drop drip machine! This machine works just as well or better than what we can buy coffee at our local coffee stand. I made cofffee / espresso for friends & family and they like the coffee better than drip. We never spent more than $ 100 a machine, until we bought it, but if you like coffee, it is worth the cost for the latte, this device produces. Use a fine paint for best results.
If you regularly stop for a cup of coffee (we never have) you can pay for this for 5 months. That is, five coffee stops one week per month X 20 X average $ 3 per cup = $ 60. Costs $ 299 divided by 60 = 5 months to buy. For a single stop for one person per day, double the benefit of two people who break even in 2 1 / 2 months.I highly recommend this great product.

I've had this machine for 3 years ... The first one I got had a defective foam and they sent me a new machine .. So it worked pretty well until the foam has been deceased at me again and it was no longer under warranty. So I had to buy a standalone foam. The recent twist mechanism broke on me .. It popped right off and are about $ 100 to fix .. I'm replacing a Nespresso machine.But in those days espresso machine worked well tasted.
