Review title: Great Espresso for The Price
Product review: This is an excellent inexpensive machine that produces consistent espresso pulls and has a powerful steam wand. It heats up in around a minute and is easy to clean. To get the best pull however, I would wait around 20 minutes for everything to heat up properly. After 1 minute you can pull a shot but it won't be of the best quality.There are a couple of downsides but not at all deal breakers. First, the built in tamper is horrendous. It's nearly impossible to get even pressure, or enough of it, because it is attached to the machine. This results in low pressure pulls and a soupy mess of grounds when finished. Buy a 49mm metal tamper for $10. Second, the steam want is short. You really have to angle your frothing pitcher to get a steam head all the way into the milk. Once you get your technique down, it's much less of an issue.I have had this machine for about a month and use it daily. If you'd rather have espresso than drip, this is an inexpensive quality product.
