Amazon.com Review:
By eliminating the usual fuss and mess, this 1,200-watt machine makes it easy to brew espresso and make cappuccinos and lattes at home or in the office. It's semiautomatic because all that's required is to fill the water tank, place ground coffee into a receptacle, and pull a lever. Within seconds coffee flows from the double spout, which adjusts for different cup heights, into one or two cups. No tamping is required because the machine tamps the coffee precisely and automatically. Nor is it necessary to clean used coffee grounds out of a messy filter holder, because there is no filter holder, and the machine automatically discards grounds into a waste tray. The tray also catches overflows, and a light shows when it needs emptying.
For steaming and frothing milk to make cappuccinos, lattes, and hot chocolates and for delivering hot water for tea, there's a wand that rotates out to fit inside a pitcher or cup. The coffee receptacle accepts 7 to 15 grams (one or two fillings of the included scoop), and the powerful pump supplies enough hot water each time to fill cups from 1-1/2 ounces to 12 ounces, which means it will make a big mug of regular coffee as well as an espresso. The 53-ounce water tank is transparent for water-level monitoring. Water heats quickly thanks to the 1,200-watt heating coil, and a thermostat light shows when the water is hottest. The machine has internal storage for the power cord and comes with clear instructions, drink recipes, and a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

- Love this machine
I bought this machine about 6 months ago and love it.Yes, it is a bit quirky to get used to, but once you get used to the system, it works great.
The expresso has perfect crema, and is quick to do the shots.My only real pet peeve is that it sometimes does not froth milk hot enough.
Otherwise, I would recommend this machine to anyone wanting great expresso.
Rating: - Wonderful machine for home use
This is a great espresso machine. My wife and I have used it for 2 years without any problems. The machine works just as advertised, and it is simple to use. Cleaning the machine is also easy.
My only word of caution is about the machine's ability to rapidly produce lots of steamed milk. For two mochas, the machine can steam milk from the fridge up to about 120 degrees, but then the steam runs out and the machine needs a minute to steam again. I've found that by steaming the milk first, ... Read More
Rating: - Expresso Love
If you like expresso than this machine is well worth having in your kitchen.
It is amazingly easy to use to prepare anything you would like, including expresso and cappuccino which I had found a bit intimidating/not successful with before I got this machine.
It is pretty easy to set up and get ready to make your drink, takes me a couple of minutes or so at this point, and the machine is quick and easy to maintain.
All in all one of the better items that I use often ... Read More

- Great Engineering. Great Espresso & Coffee!! Price can't be Beat!
I was compelled to leave a review for the Ultima because I just have to say how pleased I am with it. This little machine is awesome! I'm a self proclaimed coffee snob and perfectionist. I reviewed several machines before settling on the Ultima. I'm definitely glad I did. Makes a great espresso with nice layer of crema. If you want a great cup of coffee it'll do that too as you can control when to stop the pump. Prep is easy and the more comfortable you get with it the easier it gets. I recommend it 100%. ...

Rating: - Best espresso machine for the price
This machine was recommended to me by my best friend who owns a coffee company, and supplies and sets up hotels and high end restaurants with expensive espresso machines, and who is quite the perfectionist.He was going to set me up with one of his commercial machines, which would have taken up a lot of room, and would require a water feed, etc, and he had owned one of these machines a few years ago a told me to buy it.It's so easy to use.Tamps the grind to the correct pressure, disposes of the grounds ...
