This is not a bad unit for the rare user, but if you plan to make espressos at home more than once a week, you're really better off buying a semi-automatic or even super-automatic. These types are a lot of hassle for their worth.
Starbucks only recently went to fully automatic machines, before then they were still pumping out their 500+ shots of expresso a day using manual machines (of course heavier duty) like this one.
if you like expresso and want to venture into barista world here is your entry-level machine.
Don't waste money on steam-driven machine.Pump machine like Breville, Saeco aroma are the entry level espresso machine both have pressurized portafilter to guarantee the crema of the espresso coffee.
The real deal are Rancilio,Jura....
Whats beyond the Ben's ghetto dogs stuff like La Pavoni ,and LA MARZOCCO !
Folks who are non-Espresso/Cappucino drinker on a regular basis, this item is called the "Steam Maker"
I bought this exact thing from Walgreens for $20. I would say it makes coffee, not espresso. But it does have a steam wand. Also, it says "Warning: This product is known to the State of California to contain lead." Good thing I don't live in California.
don't buy this!
if you want to be entry level into espresso/cappuchino/etc, at least do yourself a favor and get a pump-driven one rather that steam. hamilton beach sells an entry level unit that retails at $100 and drops to $50 on sale occasionally.
