I saw this 50% off and decided to pull the trigger because of the amazing reviews. While it's very easy to put together, you can definitely tell it's made out of very cheap materials. Also, the internal components are made of plastic, so you are essentially drinking heated up plastic with coffee.
It wastes coffee grounds too, the amount required for the “big” size espresso, I use it to make a full cup of coffee that tastes way stronger than the supposed espresso (that might I add, it's smaller than what double espresso should be). Worse of all, after using it only 3 or 4 times, it stopped making coffee, all it pours is beige-colored water, like it's not even passing through the coffee grounds.
Not worth the money.
