The machine is not actually wrong! You can do very good espresso with it. But what one should not forget that this is not just the machine that counts, but also good coffee / espresso. However, as many have already criticized the machine heats the water in not enough. To get a hot espresso / coffee, you have to rinse the cup with hot water only. What's another downside, the vibrations during the brewing process. To minimize the volume, you have to make the coffee, hold the water tank, to avoid the extreme vibration noise. In addition, it is useful while a coffee makes up to stop, because the cup is wander through the vibrations and therefore if you're unlucky just a few drops in the cup land! We have the machine have to send back to Amazon now after 9 months, as they now also had technical problems (machine remained only in the heating and therefore they could not be started / when you start the pump could be heard, but there was no water) , I think the technical problems may occur with any device! But due to low temperature and high volume of the device, I can not recommend!
