coffee shop quality for half the price,
January 4, 2008

"I have been wanting one of these for the last few years and finally bit the bullet and now i have one... the price from overstock was fantastic. this was a refurbished item that looked as if it was new and wroks just like it is... I was disappointed to find that it does not come with all of the factory included items like a water filter and some of the maintenance tools but for the price i guess that i can find these items online somewhere. the coffee is wonderful and it makes it very fast and easy to brew an espresso in just seconds and never having to touch anything except two buttons. this was so easy to learn that my 7 year old made herself a double latte when my back was turned and had it half gone before i knew it. you will not be disappointed in this machine."

Waste Of Time,
January 2, 2008
By somethingwired

"We recently got this machine only to find that it was broken in many places. The connections between the front door and the brewing part were messed up and constantly leaked water when making coffee. This machine also had a faulty knob for turning on the steam. It would only work on occassion and we are in the process of getting it repaired. Just don't waste your money."

No machine for the holidays!,
December 13, 2007
By Alaskanbuyer

"We purchased this machine last month. The coffe tasted good and it was easy to use. After only a couple weeks of use the machine would say things like the brew drawer was full when it wasn't. When we took the drawer out to clean as directed it would not go back in. We now have to send the machine in for repairs which will take 4-6 weeks! No expresso over the holidays!"

Good buy, but not complete,
December 1, 2007
"Best price I found. Good machine, easy to use. Steam is not as hot as other machines I've used.
I was disappointed when I opened the box and the packing list said the water filter was included. No water filter. Customer Service said this item did not ship with a water filter (a big reason why I bought this particular machine) and their only suggestion was that I buy one from a store.
Good coffee machine, though."

Finally! An espresso machine I can love!,
October 20, 2007

"This machine is the best coffee/espresso maker I have ever owned. The espresso is fabulous, no messes to clean up, and it takes seconds to get my coffee. If you have never owned a high end espresso maker because of price, now is your chance. The price on overstock is great and you will certainly understand the value when you get your first cup! I moved away from the Pacific Northwest, and now that I have my machine, I'm not pineing away for the great coffee I missed for so long."

Fantastic!,
October 18, 2007
"We love it! Had been thinking about getting one for over a year, but the steep price had put us off. Watched a "Good Eats" episode on the Food Network, on Espresso...and decided we should go ahead and get it.
Before we bought the Espresso machine....probably spent at least twenty dollars, for a family of four at Starbucks each trip. Now we make our own Americano's, Latte's, Cappacino's and Macchiatos at the touch of a button. The machine is very easy to use....although it was supposed to come with a water filter cartridge, and did not. We use filtered water in the chamber, so we didn't really need it....although when you are spending over six hundred dollars on a fancy espresso machine, it should come with everything it's supposed to. The machine grinds the beans, in just a few seconds, immediately brews the espresso.....wonderful aroma of coffee fills the air, and there is a beautiful layer of caramel colored creme' on top, as it finishes. We are so spoiled now....will never be able to go back to a regular coffee maker! It is a lot of money.....but we figure it will basically pay for itself within six months, since we no longer make frequent trips to the local Starbucks. This machine is sensational!"
