Got this for our office and it works perfect. The red one looks great on the bar and as far as making espressos it is easy to use. So no technical knowledge was needed. At first I had to question it's quality, when we got the machine I didn't know that it has to be primed, once it was primed though it is a great performer, brews espressos consistently, operation is quiet and it doesn't leak like the one I had before, and the amount of steam it shoots out is amazing - froths up the milk for the cappuccinos in seconds. Not sure if you had to watch the starbucks folks do the frothing, this machine although small performs much better than most of their bigger ones. Love the front panel with the gauge, lights and switches, and the side knob controls the amount of steam it shoots out. I'm not a fan of ground coffee and personally prefer the coffee pods, this is another reason why I like this machine, it works with either but I personally use the pods as they make less mess. Been using the machine for several months and have not had any issues. Based on the price, performance and it's looks I would recommend it. It may not work well if used in high traffic, but for home or small office like ours it's perfect, and it doesn't take up a lot of room. Even though I thought it had issues at first because of lack of knowledge that the thing needs to be primed, but once done it's been a great quality performer. A friend has red and black setup in the kitchen, and most likely will be getting one too.

I love Coffee and super fan of retro machines!! I am in love with the retro look and the price it is fair. True about the handle is a little tough but works better for me with the pods and less messy, and what it really got me it's the froths up the milk for the cappuccinos and lattes in seconds. I have tried other espresso machines before my opinion is this Café Retro has a good power for good espressos and nice cream. Really Happy with it ....

I purchased this product about 2 weeks ago. I had originally intended on using my own ground espresso as I had been doing; but after using the machine a bit, I was much happier with the level of effort and quality from the E.S.E. pods. I found it very difficult to get the correct amount of grounds packed, without making it nearly impossible to lock in place. I don't think this is an issue with the machine, but rather a learning curve involved. Like the title says; i'm pleased, not ecstatic about this machine. I'm using the Espressione brand pods which are less than $0.50/ea in bulk.
