Pros: Built like a tank, Pro steam wand, looks great, performance and value.
Cons: Frother attachment needs to be cleaned a lot other than that none.
The Bottom Line: With attention to detail this high, how could this be considered inferior to anything in it's price range???
Machine speaks for it's self.

Pros: Excellent espresso, deep color with excellent CREMA using fresh grind or pods delivered hot.
Cons: Can't order, give it money, and have it deliver a disposable cup beverage.
The Bottom Line: This machine is the closest I have found to be like Starbuck's without spending over $400. Great look, straight forward use, beautiful end product.

Pros: Beautiful, excellent espresso/crema, has easily paid for itself.
Cons: can clog--but won't when the grind is right and you keep it clean.
The Bottom Line: I recommend this machine highly--it makes great espresso and looks great at the same time, a combo you don't often find.

Pros: Gorgeous, simple to use. Foolproof pulls with great crema. Built like a tank.
Cons: Steamer is less powerful than a tiny Krups we have, but may just need descaling.
The Bottom Line: This is probably the best machine ever made for folks who don't want to deal with a fussy machine. Always a consistently decent cup. Coffee snobs might want to pass.
