Title: ES200 APG model design problems
Product review: I purchased this pump expresso machine as replacement unit. This was my 3rd machine. I was very impressed with its reach look. Performance however was dissapointing. I returned it after week of use due to steam valve leak. We could not shut off frothing steam valve entirely loosing steam and pressure. In my opinion there are 2 serious design flows:A. Steam valve nozzle can not be moved over drip pan, therefore any drop of milk ends up on the counter. This is the first machine I saw designed that way.B. Steam valve knob is so smooth that with little wet fingers it is almost impossible to close it firm.Operational problem:On the front of the unit there is the clever coffee volume adjustment slide. The problem was the volume from cup to cup was very inconsistent and sometimes coffee overflown cup.
