Strengths:
+ Impeccable quality of espresso with a nice foam.
+ Compared to Italian coffee maker, coffee is not burnt taste.
+ Very economical: the coffee is better "extract" than other types of coffee, it is more satisfying to drink and you find yourself less and consume.
+ Machine well finished and inexpensive.
Weak points:
- Very noisy: can disturb people sleeping in the house!
- Vibrate lot: we must monitor the cup does not slip!
- Manipulations to make one cup (if you have to look fully automatic machines).
Recommendations
Use quality coffee: thinking roasters offering for little more expensive than the hypermarkets, of much better quality coffees from all points of view; selection / freshness / flavor / absence of acidity ...
Use freshly ground coffee !!!
Use of the quality of water (Brita filter for example).
Thank you and good tasting
