Title: Three Strikes and on to Jura
Review: I was incredibly enthusiastic when I originally purchased this machine... I mean, this was the ultimate gadget freak's full-automatic capuccino maker - with a color touch screen! Wow! And the first few weeks were good (with the exception of the coolish latte macchiatos and the machine enforcing a totalitarian cleaning regime). But then the problems began.According to Saeco, the machine would get air bubbles in its internal tubing and would start to sputter endlessly, then ask to be restarted. It would take me 15 minutes to an hour of starting and restarting the machine to coax them out, if I could at all. I got a replacement machine, and the same thing happened again.In the end, I gave up and the wonderful store I do business with replaced it with a Jura Z5 (with an additional payment, of course, because Jura is top-of-the-line stuff). Jury is still out on the Z5, but I can tell you that after years with Saeco, I'm pretty much done with them.
