Negative Positive
Title: It was sitting on my shelf unopened....
Review: .. and brand new; I decided to give it a whirl.There was a little bit of leakage from the unit, but nothing unmanageable, and it did indeed make excellent espresso. Yes the metal cup (and plastic assembly) inside does get hot, but so do the parts from a "regular" espresso maker. A quick rinse in warm or cold water does the trick before fully disassembling. On my next attempt, I made the base tighter and voila! No leakage. Except that it only makes one shot, this is a very neat gadget. I guess it's too bad that it didn't catch on.... Ok now that it's been here awhile...Pain in the patootie to use, and the espresso is really not very good. Now I'm sure I know why it's discontinued.
Is the review positive or negative?
