I have made myself multiple Caffè Americano since I have purchased this Espresso maker. I love it. The coffee tastes great. Mixing the freshly made Espresso with foaming milk and chocolate is my favorite.

The outer body is beautiful. Shiny. Delightful. (However). The inside is unfinished, a very dull grey, lots of dust and particulates floating around, enough to completely coat a finger. Also a soldered seam the entire length of the upper-chamber's inner wall (who knows what was used to seal it, I'm guessing that the metals weren't pure given the quality of the product). The lid pin is also very flimsy, loose. Finally, the area just-under the lid goes from glossy to unfinished quickly, some of it visible when the lid is closed. Item was shipped not from Overstock, but from a third party. Pros: Stainless handle, wonderful high-gloss body finish. Cons: Handle construction, lid, and interior poorly finished/machined. Potentially unpure metals used for soldering on the inner side of the upper-chamber.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Not accurate; poor finishing on handle and lid (scratches, pock marks, permanent scuffs).
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Poorly machined, though with a beautiful outer body.

I love this espresso maker! It is so easy, so fast, an paid for itself in the first couple of days. My husband is from the Pacific Northwest and managed a coffee shop before going to college. All that to say, he is a coffee snob. He really enjoys the espresso and the lattes we make from this thing. He has taught me how to make really great drinks. I also have an aero latte milk frother which comes in handy. I think I'm going to get more of these to give my siblings for Christmas. It was a typical, good overstock experience, and the product is excellent!

I like the Espresso Maker I got for myself so much that I just got another as a gift for a friend. It has a cmpact size and attractive design and makes great espresso! Can serve 2 people with double shots but not more at same time. Having an uncoated handle is the only drawback, so you need to use a potholder. Hope it lasts
