Title: Great simple espresso machine
Review: I have this espresso machine for over 4 years and i am very satisfied. It's fast to boil water and has perfect ratio for steam pressure, so it holds enough pressure to froth even coarser grinds. In the past year i forgot to clean it with vinegar, so the steam spout got plugged, however it was really easy to disassemble and clean the insides. When disassembled, it revealed well made components that were cleverly put together. The unit is assembled in Portugal (which in my experience makes some of the best coffee in the world) and the metal assembly seems to be German (Blockmann?). After all these years the seals are still holding up great (these are made of thick rubber, unlike some other makes). I like the flat knob as well, it's easy to turn.A great simple espresso machine that will last a very long time, which makes great tasting coffee and has been my morning companion for many years now !
