Best machine for your in home baristas, 4 years old and still a great machine, never had any problems with it, the grinder was working fine until recently but 4 years old also, should this machine eventually die I would definitely just buy another one.

I don't normally write reviews but after owning the Sunbeam Torino coffee machine and grinder for 5 years, I thought that it deserved one! I used to own a Cafe and I was missing my coffees once I sold it! So I started looking for a coffee machine that could deliver a great coffee but not take up too much room. I am so happy that I chose this machine, it has been reliable, consistent, easy to maintain and operate.. its solid!! Not flimsy like the cheap coffee machines, even the group handle feels like a industrial one! I like to use the manual handle instead of the programmed buttons so I have control over the shot poured each time. The only things I have replaced in 5 years is 2 group head seals and the water calc cartridge! And I use this machine a few times a day, every single day! The grinder is a little messy but it's true to its grinding specs and easy to adjust. Worth every cent, it's like my best friend! Lol) Just keep on top of the cleaning and it'll last a long time!

We had the twin turbo for years and it was fabulous, but I must admit, I like the feeling of having more control with this machine. It's worth the time and beans to master it, because my husband and I are making superb coffees now. I must admit there is nothing more romantic than to wake to the sound of my husband grinding beans. The only thing is, we both want to be the ones to make the coffees now, so that we can play with out new toy, and thus the coffee intake has gone up.
