Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great Comment: Great maching. Works well consistently. Other reviewer probably didn't have fine enough ground of coffee or adequate tamp. Much better function (though less attractive than my previous FrancisFrancis). Customer Rating: Summary: Why can't I make good espresso from this machine? Comment: I freely admit that user error may be my problem here. I owned a Starbucks machine and finally decided to "upgrade". I had bought a machine for my parents and loved that I know longer had to prime the machine before every service. And I didn't have to call the manufacturer every three weeks when it vapor locked for no apparent reason at all. Having said all of that, my parents' machine (which is not this one and was $140) made great espresso. My machine could not seal, was difficult to set up and almost always leaked. As well, the frother is really a bit of a pain in the butt. I returned my unit (I had bought it from Costco). But if anyone has some suggestions on what I might have done better, that would be great. As an aside, do espresso machine manufacturers feel it necessary to make their instructions as difficult to follow as those from Ikea? I mean, really, folks: User experience is not brain surgery. Customer Rating: Summary: Espresso Machine Comment: This machine could not be better. It's a Porche. Clean, efficient, easy to use and maintain, and makes great espresso. I had a Krupps and a Seco before and this machine makes those seem like toys. I'd recomend this without reservation. My only complaint is the size of the water tank (too small requiring frequent refilling, though that is very easy to do). More Reviews
