 Great little machine May 24, 2025
This is a great little espresso machine. I've had mine since 2004 or 2005 with no problems. It's both solid and good-looking (everyone comments on it), and makes high quality espresso. The steamer works fine from my experience, although I only use it nowadays for espresso. I just saw the newer Francis Francis models yesterday in the store, but I will keep using this great little machine until one of us expires...

 Great for expresso Mar 20, 2025
The negative reviews I just read may be spot on, but I only use this machine to make a double-shot of espresso every morning. The machine has worked flawlessly for years and it's a reliable part of my morning routine. The machine itself is nice to look at and cleans up easily. Of course, it costs quite a bit, but I've had my machine for over three years now and I use it every day, so if you spread the cost out over 3-5 years (hopefully more!), then it's truly pennies per day instead of $3 a day.

 Good, no great at Espresso, Poor at Cappuccino Jul 07, 2025
This machine is well made and has a user-interface that my destructive wife can handle without breaking anything; although she did scratch it on day 2 using a dish sponge :(
The system is well suited for espresso but its steamer is next to worthless. That is unless you enjoy having milk sprayed all over the machine itself and never really foaming up the milk. Yikes!
If you want only espresso, this is a great machine.
If you want espresso and cappuccino, get something else.

 Poorly constructed Jul 06, 2025
Don't believe the hype about "quality brass components". The pump on my machine died after one year of daily use in the morning. The temperature gauge on the front stopped working a few months prior to that. Don't repeat my mistake of being wooed by the styling on this machine.

Starbucks? Feb 25, 2025
Why pay the high price for something you can't pronounce when you can have it for less at home? Too busy? Spend the extra money if you want, but it is a waste. Yes this is a lot up front, but when there is more than one of you at home that go to Starbucks, it will save you time and money in the long run.
