DeLonghi BAR 32 Espresso Machine

This espresso machine is a very nice unit.It has all the functions of an high end unit but without the high end price.I am a appliance technician that is certified on Miele coffee systems,now these are $1500-$3000 per machine.It is my opinion that this DeLonghi BAR 32 Espresso Machine makes just as good a cup of espresso as the Miele.Now that only depends on the quality of the beans being used.This DeLonghi BAR 32 Espresso Machine is no Miele but for the price $75.00 shipped you cant beat that with a stick!!!The only2 faults I have with the DeLonghi BAR 32 Espresso Machine is when you use the pod filter mine tends to get stuck when I remove the filter holder from unit after making a cup of Joe.Maybe it needs to be broken in.And the second fault is that the steam frother does not go up and down,I have to put unit at the edge of my counter,lucky for me that is where I had planed it to be.ALL IN ALL THIS IS A VERY NICE UNIT BUILT IN ITALY WERE THEY KNOW HOW COFFE SHOULD TASTE!!!!!!!!
