USED OUR FIRST ONE FOR THOUSANDS OF GREAT CUPS OF ESPRESSO, RELIABLE AND FFUNCTIONSS WELL, WORKS WITH CUSTOM BLENDING AND GRINDS EASILY ADAPTING TO THAT NEED ALSO. Chrome model was just not as good, but worked for years. After all the rest, get the BEST....it's also kind of fun to be involved, doesn't wake our Cockatoo up either!!! Will buy a third unit. Dave.
