Good coffee, but falls apart
I received this as a gift for Christmas 2006. We are now coming up on Christmas 2008 and it’s completely broken.

Decent cofee and reasonable price, but

should have listened
Very disappointed. Like others, got it home, read instructions. Just the cleaning of the machine for the pre-run did not work.

Can I change my review??
I have been using this one for years on a daily basis and it’s worked extremely well. Some pre-ground espresso beans cause the machine to clog, but I would imagine that would…
