That new new one is noisy, the container on the bottom is very difficult for cleaning, the frother is so inconvenient to put the cup under and after to take the cup out, the liquid just spill everywhere.

I do consider myself a coffee snob (sorry), making a beeline for hipster cafes wherever I am.

I only bought this machine on the understanding that it would be a good budget machine (I got mine for 60) to learn on before possibly upgrading, particularly as there are non-pressurised portafilters available for it which introduce further learning curves (specifically, on tamping and grinding the coffee well).

There are plenty of coffee snobs out there who would denounce this machine before they even tried the coffee, but I dont think it can be denied that, paired with decent coffee grinds, it is capable of making coffee that is clearly superior to all the major chain cafes.

I havent tried it with supermarket stuff but other reviewers have spoken favourably of its abilities when paired with such blends.

On the other hand, Id say its main weakness is its steam wand.

Simply put, forget about microfoam and latte art if youre buying this machine.

Typically the best it can produce is frothy foam on warm milk.

Most irritating is that unlike slightly pricier home espresso machines, there is no way to upgrade the steam wand.

To be fair, from what I understand no machine under 200 will produce good microfoam so it rather comes with the territory.

And I personally prefer foam to none at all, so its certainly better than nothing.

Id say its main quirk is the need to prime its circuit after periods of disuse.

Failing to do this can prevent any water coming through the portafilter at all, so its worth knowing, even if such maintenance might not be what many would expect or hope for.

Like other coffee machines it benefits from descaling and if youre in a hard water area, being fed with filtered water (theres a special water filter for it that I intend to buy to make filling it quicker and easier).

And buying a few accessories for it, such as a small knockbox for used grinds, stainless steel jug for milk, thermometer for steaming the milk and for me at least, a rubber mat to minimise spillage on counters when loading the portafilter, make using it easier and more convenient.

Uses ESE pods which can be bought in bulk relatively inexpensively.

When I bought this coffee machine I was so excited because I had the same brand SAECO coffee machine for 10 years and I havent got any problems.

Unfortunately this is not like my old one.
