"This machine has everything we wanted. Thankfully, the espresso and cappuccino are exactly how we remembered them tasting in Venice (although, of course, you might have another standard to measure up to). Overall, it's been very easy to maintain, and really runs like clockwork. It's been a great buy all around. Definitely a great machine for a great price."

"We've had this machine for about 2 months and we love it. Its heating time is less than 2 minutes - which is so convenient in the busy mornings. The grinder does a good job. The portafilter is a very professional one, with a very heavy, tight clamp. I also have no complaints about frothing. It's very easy to maintain too. So far so good! The price was very reasonable too, and the seller was very helpful. A really good buy."

"I've owned this machine for almost for 4 months and haven't encountered any problems. It makes very consistent shots and the heating time very quick, even shorter than in manufacturer expects because it only takes about 2 minutes. The froth has been good. The grinder is a little bit noisy, but the actual grind itself is very consistent. This machine was the right choice for me, and a great investment. I highly recommend it to anyone."

"Published I love my Lelit machine! It's made of polished stainless steel which looks sleek in my kitchen and matches my other chrome appliances. I'd say that I make at least two cups a day every day and maybe 3-4 cups on especially sleepy days. It gives me rich coffee every time. I'm sure you'll like this machine as much as I do!"

"...As far as quality goes, this is a great machine, and is very easy to use (you still have to experiment with quantity, time and temperature) and the maintenance won't drive you crazy."

"Excellent item and a great deal!! Have to say that the Lelit is a great machine! This is a super buy! "

"I wanted to replace the Rancilio Silvia that I have had for over 4 years. I began to have a problem with overheating and soon realized that we need to look for a new machine. I choose Lelit, because it is very similar to Silvia , but about $150 cheaper, it has all the parameters I need and was produced in Italy, not China. I took a risk and it appeared that we have a winner. Great machine, great price,great espresso, no complaints. Heating time is just unbeatable - less that 3 minutes, very handy in the busy morning."

"Very good machine. I am very satisfied. Only one drawback - I didn't like the plastic water container( i believe all the machines have plastic) and replaced it with glass. No smell, much more hygienic. Otherwise it works like a charm."

"I red many reviews about Lelit before I made up my mind. My concerns were about the short wand, and if you drink a lot of cappuccino (as my wife does) it can be a problem. I decided to take the risk for a price. If you got a smaller pitcher, and that's what we got - there is no problems whatsoever. It does produces great shots, heats up very quickly, doesn't look cheap since it has stainless steel body and the price is unbelievable."

"Very solid, good quality machine. I owned it for about a year and the only thing i had to do was wipe it down. I dont even have to replace the gasket. Still in a great shape. Very low maintenance (I am a slacker) , shots are quality consistent, made in Italy, not braking the bank. Overall i am a very happy customer. One thing though - buy a good tamper. The plastic one that comes with the machine is a temporary solution till you get a professional one."

"What an excellent grinder! As I'm sure you know, it takes a lot to make great espresso, and I trust even the most expensive beans to this grinder."

"We love the grinder. It wasn't as large, as I thought it would be, but really nice"

"I love the convenient stainless-steel design of this machine, because it makes the grinder easy to maintain and clean. It looks great on my counter too. I've found that this grinder is simply the best grinder in this price range."

"Buy this grinder if you want to give your espresso maker the best ground coffee beans, give yourself the best espresso and save some money too."

"...It's 150-watt motor is powerful and effective. It gets the job done fast and efficiently in about 20-30 seconds. Because freshness is so important to me, I tend to grind exactly the amount of espresso I intend brewing right then, because espresso is the freshest right after its ground. I grind every time I brew to keep the oils of the coffee beans sealed and fresh and to stop them from tasting stale."
