Title: Don't bother
Product review: I have been unhappy with this machine since I bought it from Amazon in October. I wasn't willing to pay for a pump machine and my old Krups, which I'd had for 15 (yes, really!) years made pretty decent espresso. On my old machine, I could even get crema if I used the right grind of coffee and tamped it well.This machine is nothing like my old one. A few times it's made absolutely stone cold espresso. A few times the machine spurted steam from every crevice. When it's working, it only works passably well -- no crema on my espresso and not quite enough power to ensure the milk (if I'm making a cappucino) is hot and frothy.I'm looking for an affordable pump machine now -- I've realized my mistake.
