Incredible, delicious espresso made quickly!
I purchased the 100ml larger tank separately, so to be fair, my review reflects my ability to pull much longer espresso shots.
I have a "tiny living" situation and was looking for a space-saving espresso machine and stumbled upon this one. After I learned the hard way not to overfill the water/coffee and not to tamp the grounds, I developed a pretty good rhythm for quickly making yummy longshots. I drink anywhere from 3 to 6 of them a day!
I don't buy particularly nice coffee, just Costco-in-a-can, which I then grind finer. Clean up is a breeze, and it has a pretty small footprint on my counter.
I have easily made at least 50 to 60 shots in the few weeks I've had this, and it seems to be holding up well! It dribbles a little water here and there through the process, but that's probably me going a little faster than I should.
Some may not like that it doesn't appear to be BPA free, but with coffee this decadent I cannot begin to complain! Longshots with this seem to be almost 1/3 crema if that is important to you... It is to me! I can't recommend this highly enough, but especially if you go to their website and pickup the larger 100ml tank, which is about 25 dollars.
