I Think You should consider this one 11/2008
Read the reviews of many different Espresso machines and you will most likely find a lot of things in common such as they leak and they don't work as they are suppose to and the customer is sending them back and even that it is necessary to use a small shot glass cause thats what only fits under the dispenser. Even customers report the expensive ones $400 dollar machines leaking, ... So I would consider getting this one.
Anyway I just got mine and it works fine and for some reason it was selling for 119.00 when I bought it now its a lot more. :( But anyway, the insides of this one is stainless steel I think it is a necessary to get a stainless steel espresso machine because aluminum can be toxic.
OTHER REASONS Y I LIKE THIS ONE
This machine makes great crema and the frother is great my brother has a $350 Starbucks machine that he has to fight with each time to do the froth. Also with this Capresso machine a normal size coffee cup can fit under it with a...
Great flavor, but mind your grind
Bought this a few weeks back. I was initially disappointed with the quality of the shots. It turns out that the grind and quality of the beans are paramount for this machine. This is generally true for all machines, but more so for this one.
Overall, excellent flavor extract with no bitterness at all. It equals or betters Starbucks Barista espresso maker. I attribute it to the sustained pump pressure and valve mechanism.
Use a dark roast (Peet's in the SFO Bay area) for best results with a close to fine grind. If grinding at Peet's, use a setting of 4/5 (their default is 3 for espresso). If you end up having a finer grind, use a small amount of coarser grind at the bottom and put the finer grind at the top. This works beautifully well for me.
Disappointing
I just bought my Jura Capresso Espresso in May, and the pump died on it yesterday. It never seemed to generate the 18 bars of pressure Jura Capresso claims: I wouldn't get crema no matter how coarse/fine of grain I ground my beans.
