Excellent - Like most high-end products, in need of care by David DeCurtis first, this machine is physically superior to any other super automatic make-out. The top line of the Jura, Saeco and Krups are packed in plastic with steel accents the front, while the Delonghi is completely coated in steel. Engineering is very solid and has a magnificent presence in the kitchen. If you like cappuccino, you will love this machine and its really a button. However, you should use the right size cappuccino cups to get the full experience. The machine complies with milk foam and add the espresso shot so that the foam extends about 1 / 4 inch above the edge of the cup. You can change this setting, but outside the box is perfect. I never had a better cappuccino everywhere - even Italy. (I use Illy medium roast coffee). Milk container is highly desirable. I have the machine next to my refrigerator so I encamped just the milk container in the refrigerator after each use, it snaps in and out of place very easily. The espresso shots are wonderful. It is important that you take note of the grind, when you open the box before the change. You set the grind to the factory for each machine and it is unlikely that you will find a better grade. People say, super-automatic can not get a shot as good as the manual machines, but think about this machine defies this rule. To truly appreciate and understand this machine, you must read the manual and a few simple steps further before and after they use every day. First, rinse often. It should press 1 / 2 second on the button. If the machine sat for a while, rinse met before the brew master heat. After your last morning cup etc, make a flush. This is a quick and easy way to keep the machine working. Second, before and after using the milk, hold the CLEAN button for 5 seconds and blowing steam through the internal parts that carry milk. There is no other way to the milk that goes into the machine clean. If you do not, the milk will harden the machine and cause problems. You do not have to clean up after each drink only when you're ready for this time of day. Again, it's simple and fast and make a big difference. Finally, prep your machine based on its use. Do not let the machine tell you that the container is empty, fill the beans, or water to fill. Get ahead in the same way that their coffee sessions are not interrupted by these messages. Once a day or more, depending on usage, just to check everything before you start so you do not waste time or coffee. Here's an important point. If you only drink, this is a super-automatic work as much or more than a manual machine. You must prepare and clean it more than a manual machine. The super-automatic only worthwhile in terms of convenience to make the second cup and not only with this machine, you can just hit CAPPUCCINO 10 times in a row and you have 10 cups - that simple. But after 14 glasses of water you refill the empty container cabinet, over the beans, wash and clean milk tea. To me, it's all worth it, because it makes a great cup of coffee and is so damn cold. In short, I am very satisfied with this product what motivated me to write this review. What more can I say? 16 of 16 people found this review helpful. The Gran Dama Long Hard ... By Jura Capresso F9 Omega had a for a year before that went wrong - the company replaced it with a refurbished machine. I upgraded to a Saeco Jura, which was a nightmare. Finally, I enjoyed my Jura, but hated that no party is by the user and I had to rely onthe cleaning tablets to ensure that the machine is "clean." After visiting the shop in William-Sonoma Delonghi demo I thought it was wonderful - fully integrated, single-touch
