Hello from the true coffee capital of America(Anchorage,Alaska), I received another machine as a gift and promptly returned it and ordered this one as a replacement. I new nothing about this machine except that it was the same price. I had my eye on a Breville or a super-auto but after talking to a person who owned this machine and reading all the reviews I got excited about my choice. So after a month let me say I love it!

Whats more I would like to offer a counterpoint to some of the bad reviews. First it Does Not make cold coffee, people are using cold cups; there is virtually no machine out there that does not require preheated cups the ceramic soaks up all the heat from the coffee.

Second, one reviewer said it does not make true espresso Baloney! Its simple really, if you have the right beans, the right ground and at least 1 bar of pressure( which is what the manual machines use)you are making espresso. Water, grinder and beans are way more important, simply put it makes amazing espresso believe me I have drank more then my share.

People have complained about the price and that it is plastic well I have looked at hundreds of machines and this is at the low end of the price range and the super-autos that cost thousands are made of guess what, Plastic.

The people that had bad experiences just had a lemon machine, further more customer service was outstanding.

I can echo virtually all the good reviews and I would like to point out some what I like.

This thing is so quick,another popular machine out there the R.S. takes ten minutes to heat up, who needs that, at six A.M. I could drive and get coffee faster than that. This thing takes 1-5 minutes for awesome coffee and no waiting on steam like more expensive machines make you pay extra for, the froth is incredible.

After using the regular style semi-auto with the filter holder and banging out your used puck(what a mess)I’ll never go back.

I love that it does NOT have a built in grinder this allows me to freshly grind each cup and make coffee to order fresh,like its supposed to be (reg, decaf or half-caf)plus your beans don’t sit out in the air and get stale. Again you can get a by-pass on the bean hopper of a super-auto but guess what, you’ll pay for it.

This machine is so easy to use there is zero learning curve I am not sure why people say it takes a while to get the hang of to put it bluntly a caveman could do it especially at six a.m. .

I clean mine every night which takes a whopping fives minutes tops.

Trust me buy this machine don’t waste your money on counter top ornaments.

Get a good burr grinder, filter your water and baby this thing and you will be rewarded for years to come.
