I bought one in the Netherlands. Verdict: Not as good as a good machine made one but better than most espressos served from machines by average cafe’s. I’m using illy-pads with dark roasted espresso coffee. Not handy for making lot’s of coffee but if you’re in a place where there’s no good coffee this saves the day big time. Well worth my money.
There seems to be a new one from another company witch operates by a gas-container and can make two cups at a time but haven’t tried that one (yet).
this is awesome!
uhm $23 x 52 = $1196. A bit less than $5000
I have tried both the pod version and the ground coffe version , and they work great ! You get more crema from ground coffee . Not as good as a shot from my Rancilio but much better than any Saeco I’ve tried.
5000 or 1000?
this is actually pretty cool, i mean what do you expect for 120$?
plus you can actually make those coffee packs yourself
that espresso doesn’t look that good, and the thought of ‘ground coffee that comes in small packs’ makes me shudder….
Exactly! My boss easily hits over $23 a week on Starbucks. So that’s almost $5,000 a year! I wonder if he knows he’s paying what must the equivalent of $40-50 a gallon on their coffee per year.
As someone who actually owns the machine, I can say that the espresso quality is on par with the best I’ve had from a pod machine (make sure to buy individual packets – I made the mistake of buying the Illy “vaccum sealed” tin and it tasted horrible within only a few days).
The build quality is actually very good, despite what it looks like in some videos.
Also $120 (or $90, as it is now) is peanuts for a quality espresso machine. Some run into the thousands of dollars!
im glad i never bought one of these! thats crap espresso! *high quality my ass*
Easy, if you’re the kind of person that purchases 1 espresso drink from a retail outlet every day. $5 * 365 = …!!!
Its super soaker time! i would have never thot of that… but i think it wouldnt last long… wear and tear comes in pretty fast…
How would adding an espresso machine SAVE you ANY money? Let alone $120?
Add Hot water??? LOL
Why not just add an Espresso machine and save the $120!
FAIL.
