Title: Good for the price
Product review: My old machine bit the dust and I needed a quick replacement. Ran across this one at a local department store and it looked good. Seemed to be well made and was pump driven so I bought it and took it home.Took a couple of test runs and it quickly became obvious that the cup that holds the espresso is too small. I was only able to pull a single shot at a time at full strength. I could get a double shot but it was weak.I thought maybe I just needed to experiment so for the next week I experimented with different grinds, tamping, etc.. Nothing really made a difference, the cup is just too small for a double shot.In fairness, if I ran it twice to produce a double shot, it did great. But that was too much work for me so I returned it and bought a Via Venezia Espresso Machine By Saeco from Starbucks. It was twice the amount but has a standard size cup and works great.
