POWER, GRACE, AND BEAUTY
I purchased the red model of the Bugatti Diva about two months ago. After decades of burning out cheap espresso/cappuccino machines, I decided to get a more high-end model. What impressed me after pulling a few shots, was the inner power of this espresso maker--with 15 bar pressure, contrasted to the standard 8 or 9, extraction is quick and forceful, finishing with a beautiful light brown crema. It heats up quickly and is quieter during extraction than many other machines in my experience. Everything is solid and clearly designed for years of use. The milk steam frother has equal power to the extractor and sends plenty of heat and steam into the pitcher. The water tank in the back can be more easily filled with a reusable water bottle--avoiding the method of taking it out and carrying it to the water filter at the sink. Augmenting the previous reviewer I grind my beans (at a level just above Turkish coffee grind) and tamp the grind into the other style portafilter from the pod...
Quite simply, a great machine.
Solid construction. This machine is a work of art, and is very, very well made. There's no hint of any part of this thing being "cheap". It looks great, it's easy to use and makes great espresso.
The best espresso machine ever
This is my 3rd high end espresso machine. I love my new Bugatti Diva dearly. Every cup is not just an espresso but the delicious treat. The milk frothing feature is the beast I have ever used thus far. It makes thick milk foam in few seconds. For new users, you will need to play with this machine and learn how to get the best drinks ever. My advise - grind your coffee beans to Turkish level. I wish the water tank was larger, but when I drink my espresso, I forget this little inconvenience.
