Got this, set it up, made espresso. Tasted Great!!!BUT--Less than a week after I received this machine the knob on top for frothing the milk melted! The inside threads stripped and I had to use a wrench to turn the frother off. After several weeks they did send a (free)replacement. But the post the knob sits still on got very very hot and I suspected this would have happened again, so I took the knob off until just before I needed to froth. That sort of worked.Okay, so that was an annoying problem. Then, less than two months after I began using it, it simply stopped working. It would not heat up. The heating element burned out. I assume my earlier melted-knob problem might have been caused by the heating element over-heating and that's why it burned itself out. But the mfr. told me I left it on too long and that's why it burned out and they would not fix it. So I now have a $250 paperweight sitting on my garage floor.Get something else. Great coffee, but very unreliable.
