This espresso machine is very well built, For someone concidering buying one why wait, The only issue I've had is allways open your steam valve before removing the lid as it cools it forms a vacuum, and will suck the gasket into the water compartment,If that happens a pair of long needle nose pliers and your back in business.  Thank you, I'm very satisfied and it is very easy to keep clean.......

Pros: Very easy to clean, very well built, Fantastic instructions.
Cons: I hav'ent found any cons or reason to wish I would have bought a different brand or product, It is exactly what I expected and then some....
