we replaced our La Specialista Maestro with this one after are older one was going to be expensive to repair. it has lots of adjustments that take a bit of time to set up but then your choices are saved and it makes it consistently a great cup of coffee. Just purchased it so so far so good is all we can say.
I have really have been enjoying my new Touch Espresso Machine! The espresso, cappuccino & Americano are super tasty. The Cold Brew is just OK. I'm trying out some new techniques to make the Cold Brew a bit more-full bodied. The only downside to the unit it that the grinder has been inconsistent in portioning grounds into the portafilter. Sometime too much and sometimes too little. Hoping for "Just Right."
