Just bought mine and it's my first "nice" coffee machine. Very excited!

Is there a way to rinse only on the copper nozzle. I feel like the rinse cycle is too short, it could use an extra rinse once and a while!

Can’t turn off power without pulling plug. Am I missing something?

Just got this machine. I’m having difficulty controlling the output volume. I’m getting brews that would overflow my cup if I didn’t manually turn off the brew process.

I had this machine for 7 months with a Best Buy warranty. I loved it at first for the reasons you described. After about 6 months, I started getting a gross aftertaste. I cleaned it regularly and experimented with different beans, cups, etc. No luck. I took it back to Best Buy and got something else. The problem hasn’t come back, so I think it was the machine. Edit: This could have just been a one-off issue. My dad has the same machine and hasn't reported the same issue.

9.2 rate for a 250 USD, what would be for current price (AMZ) for 429 USD?

How does this machine compare with The Tchibo?

looks like the SMEG SA with some cosmetic differences. I'm looking for my first espresso machine, would this be your recommendation? The options out there can be paralyzing.

Would a breville dual boiler be a good machine for more advance coffee enthusiasts?

Does your steam feature make a slight thumping noise when steaming? My first machine did this and I sent in a video. They said it was not normal and sent me a replacement. My replacement machine makes the same noise.

How does this compare to a original Nespresso machine, as far as shot of an espresso?

Cleaning easy??? Looks good. I’ve been wanted and espresso machine without the high price … what do u recommend as a starter machine.. must have’s 1. Bean grinder 2. Heating stick for milk 3. Easy clean or self clean Thank you 🙏

Just bought this machine. I’m getting the same “add water” prompt, how do I get it to go away???

Can you do a video on good coffee beans to buy at Tjmaxx, Marshalls, or homegoods ? I always go in but never know which is best to buy 😢

Where you really able to get this machine (with the steamer) for less than $300? The best price I am seeing it for is $425. Thanks for your advice.

What would be a good european coffee bean to buy?

Hey Joe, now that Black Friday has cooled down, do you still have a positive opinion about this unit? I just ordered one of these after nearly buying a refurbished Gaggia Magenta Plus. The Magenta was almost the one because of the traditional, powerful steam wand, and the display was reminiscent of very high-end superautomatics. However, after seeing the results, I agree the output was not worth the cost. You probably know this, but all Gaggia super automatics pretty much have the same internals (this includes Phillips who makes them), so the upgrades or whatever are drink options (all have the same max level strength / dosage) , the milk system, or the exterior build quality (plastic vs. thin plastic-like metal). Anyways, this is for my girlfriend, and far and wide the design of this is much more aesthetic. Smeg sells the same thing for 2x the price and another company called Espressione. They are all the same though, built by GE, though my friend at GE says that essentially means overseas these days. I'm going to see how this goes, a little concerned with how finicky the setup was for you and @coolcameron505's comments about taste.

Not fitting the coffee cups I don’t really think Falls under a con cause some people don’t have the space

What company actually makes this machine? It is the same basic design as a model from GE, and SMEG. There must be a factory selling the internals, and these other brands redesign the exterior slightly.

Demostration is better than words

Just got this for $250 on Amazon

As an audio engineer it's painful to listen to your video. That mic is absolutely horrible. Any phone mic would be 90% better than that.

You spoke for 17 minutes and did NOT even make one cup of coffee from start to finish for the viewers... Please... make more B roll shots next time when you are talking - showing the product IN USE.
