I came very close to returning this product. At first I could not make a cup of coffee that was not luke warm. Also getting the fliter back in place was very difficult until I got the feel for it.
Eventually I learned not use too much milk and also to steam for a longer period. My old boiler based machine would steam faster, but now I understand that pump machines run cooler to avoid bitter coffee.
You must learn the proper order to do things. You have to run a heatup shot through the machine after turning it on OR after steaming milk. It is not necessary after making coffee. This gets everything nice and hot for making the espresso.
Generally, I start up, run a heatup shot, make however many shots of espresso, and then steam/froth the milk. This is the most efficient method.
My only major remaining complaint is that the filter will not let all of the water drain and I do not get a dry plug of grounds after making the coffee.

I tried this model from Capresso and was not impressed with the performance of the machine. Too long to wait for warm up and for finally brewing espresso. Espresso result was marginal.It appears that it's an entry level machine yet the performance from my Briel CHAMONIX machine is much better for about the same price. The Briel unit has the automatic espresso flow feature which is a great bonus.
I'm sure that the higher end Capresso units are better in terms of performance,but I'm going to pass on the Thermocoil.

The Capresso 101.01 lives up to its promise of quick no hasstle expresso and steamed milk. Warming cycle is a bit of a bother, but not much really when considering the price and the performance of the machine. One key will be how well the coffee to steam switch on the left side stands up. Overall, a good bargain, and good expresso.
