After 6 years and over 2k pulls of espresso, our beloved pixie was starting to leak and making noises like there was air in the pump( this was the first appliance I bought for a new house). We did look at the Venturo models as a replacement, but kept coming back to the quality and simplicity of the pixie.  I do wish there were more color options. The price is much cheaper than it was six years ago as well, so that’s a plus.
