i didn't really expect much out of it, but what i got was a reliable quickly-heating espresso machine that produced consistently great coffee.

we first considered the breville esp8xl cafe roma stainless espresso maker, but reviewers consistently lamented the unit's tendency to clog the filter, necessitating time-consuming cleaning.

having had this gem in my possession for a month now, i can give it highest marks for quality, performance and value.

if you're the average "joe" and just want to make yourself a good consistent coffee without paying starbucks to mess it up, buy it!

each new brew of espresso is consistently 100% perfect!

it makes very fluffy froth and consistent shots with very pretty crema.

i was worried about the grind being fine enough since i'm am using a cheapie grinder, not a burr, but had no problems and i am amazed at the consistency of the wonderful taste of the espresso.

i just got this machine but i am so very pleased with its performance.

the coffee stays warm, even when the carafe is only partially filled, allowing me to drink it leisurely through the morning with consistent flavor from first cup to last (3 hours).

finally, it makes a consistently good cup of java pretty quickly and the stainless steel carafe will never break - unlike the glass ones.

all-in-all, the excellent coffee and good performance outweigh the minor issues.

i can't speak in detail to its performance within the ten measly days that it worked (as it was a gift), but i assume it was at least fine.

pros: consistency, decent (if not ultimate) cup quality, maximum convenience, stylish looks.

i don't have too much to say about its functionality or performance, but the manufacturing quality control needs to be improved.
