I was so excites to get my machine today but was immediately disappointed.  First brew overfilled my cup and machine will not allow a cup big enough to hold the default brew amount so you must manually adjust volume lower.  It is so loud and vibrates to the point of not only my cup moving but making the actually handle turn to unlock(yes i had the handle completely closed).  Also even after programming volume of expresso it is inconsistent on the amount brewed.  I really love the taste of illy coffee/espresso so I am torn between trying a different model or going back to my ********* machine.
