I think the really important feature of this player is the tweakability. Tube rolling and the upsampler can make it fit well about anywhere. I know I enjoy mine.
Hey Kevin, I have had many espresso machines in my caffeine jonesing lifetime both manual and pump driven, and the operator has as much to do with the final quality as the machine, coffee, grind and tamp do. Any one of these that are off, and you get a so-so cup. After my last machine died (I figured I had brewed at least 500 lbs through it), I looked for something more consistent and easier to clean up after. I ended up with a top of the line Saeco superautomatic. With the push of a button, it grinds,tamps,brews, and ejects the puck into a convenient container. It has adjustability for temperature, grind, water volume, etc., but it won't make the absolute best espresso you've ever had - it will, however, make one that is 90% of the best - every time - with no mess. With the others, clean up became a drag, so I would not use them all the time, and when you spend all those $$$, I hated to have an expensive kitchen decoration. For coffee try Segafredo at http://www.1st-line.com/ also has machine information, and Lavazza at http://sovranastore.com/lavwholbean.html. Both are excellent Italian Espresso coffees.
Keep up the good work,
James
