It is a great product. the only thing that might be a problem for some people is that you have to get the right sized shot glass because it is a little bit short for a small mug. I love this machine, I used steamed expresso machine before this one and there is no comparison. it is the best buy with this kind price.
It was a graduation gift for my 18-year-old son, who love working the machine and preparing espressos and lattes for the family. This product is a cost effective, perfectly adequate product -- delivers as advertised.
You get what you pay for, I guess. Was great at the beginning. Bought it a year ago. The pump just faded out; intensely cleaned it a few times, but still takes 5 minutes to produce a shot.
I haven't received a credit yet so I am not sure if I am happy with Amazon yet. I did send it back but I won't buy this brand again. I received this item in short time. When I opened the and took it out of the box there was cracks on both sides.
And thought that I just got a bad one. And for that I will always use them.
I have found my new love.If you have ever used a Great Machine like an Delonghi Bar32, DO NOT GET this EC155, it is a waste of your time and money. I ended up buying a Saeco Via Venezia (Starbucks sells them too, Amazon for $199) Beautiful smooth working machine.
I ordered this after my DeLonghi BAR32 of over 3 years died thinking it was going to not exceed the other model, but do a decent job; But there were problems out of the box*The seal around the portafilter leaked*Espresso came out hot, not piping hot*The steamed milk did not get hotter than 110 degrees ( Should be 130-160)*after used of the machine, it still dripped for like 20 minutes*the ground espresso from Starbuck (been using for years, ground with an burr grinder for an espresso machine) would never come out solid, always with lots of water and a mess. The only good thing is that Amazon is superb with returns.
SEE MY RATING ON THE DELONGHI BAR32. I even went to another cafe to have beans ground for me, it did not make a difference.*it did not take pods well at all.So I sent this one back.
The replacement was not much better, the water did not come out hot and still leaked.
