I rediscovered the pleasure of espresso, with a pressure of 19 bar the foam is creamy and the taste is perfect.
The pros:
- Aesthetics of coffee,
- Taste and appearance of the espresso like a coffee "Nespresso", at a cost of more interesting returns!
- Rapid heating,
- Coffee filter practical and easy to use,
- Compatible with soft pods and ground coffee
- Expresso: Setting the desired amount of coffee into a cup and then use the coffee maker "Automatic" mode is nice.
- "Made in France": I prefer to choose a product of a French company, especially as it offers products with excellent value for money (I took the kettle matching Riviera & Bar which is beautiful).
The -:
- I had some difficulties to be lapped and set up the machine (pressure priming amount of coffee used).
This could be even better explained in the manual.
I do think that some people who had problems and returned the coffee, could solve "easily" by rebooting the pump for example (indicated in the instructions, but perhaps not enough highlighted).
But once made these settings, it is really nickel! (See +)
- Stainless steel of the coffee is very sensitive to cleaning, use a product really suitable, if one sees small spots.
- Difficulty or inability to 2 soft pods with the filter holder "2 cups".
It is not recommended in the instructions (recommended with ground coffee filter holder 2 cups).
Indeed, I tested the result is not great (the machine "force" and the cups are not full).

----------------
In short, overall very satisfied with my purchase, to see the reliability in time.
I took the new guarantee failure amazon 3 years, for 12, a lower cost to be quiet a moment! ;-)
(I could objectively be 4 *, but since I find unjustly noted by some, I add to it a 5th *)
