After having been through so many espresso makers I was prepared to
spend big bucks on a good machine. I had taken my Braun espresso maker
to a repair shop because it had been so much better than my previous
machines. I asked his advice and he said unless I went commercial it
was not worth it. He showed me a 2 year old $3000 home unit that was in
for repair and he could not get the parts.


I like my espresso maker for my morning latte. I think when my current
drip machine bites the dust I will be looking for a Melitta funnel.
