Review title: excellent workmanship - but good espresso requires some work
Product review: This is a very well designed, solidly built machine. Everything is well thought out (like the steamer head, which is, as another reviewer said, not just a piece of plastic, it really helps aerate the milk and get nice froth).The pump is good, does the job of getting the pressurized water through the filter, the espresso comes out well (remember to tamp the coffee well), nice color, good crema.two things you should remember:1. it's more difficult to make espresso than instant coffee. You really have to get used to this rather than complain about the machine.2. you have to clean the machine every so often, and it really does affect the quality of the coffee. Use citric acid instead of fancy expensive descaling solution, take apart the filters, clean them, and you'll get good results consistently.
