I've owned 3 of these machines in the past 16 months.The first one leaked right out of the box. Took it back and it was replaced.The second one worked for a month. Then developed an internal short that turned the espresso maker on (I was in another room at the time). It would not reset. Took that one back and it was replaced.The third one worked for about a year. Now it won't make espresso. Coffee side still works, but ...We also bought a Krups blender -- didn't work out of the box.I'm beginning to see a pattern here...
