Machine makes a consistently good cup of coffee/ espresso and the steam wand is really easy to use. There is a maintenance cycle which is pretty easy to do weekly. But it is worth it for the ease of use and consistency.

I have had this coffee machine for over ten years and it has not faltered... Serves great coffee, is easy to clean and still looks modern after all these years.

I've owned 3 Saeco Coffee Machines and this is the best one so far. Great improvements; it is very quiet and produces hotter coffee than my first two models.
