  • PRE-ROCKET GIOTTO

    I've had my ECM Giotto for about 10 years with very few problems and thousands of great shots of espresso. Steams milk beautifully as well. I've found it quite easy to maintain, and since I figured out how to keep the water-tank sensor from thinking the tank was empty when it wasn't (by moving the water tank slightly) I've been very happy. Several years ago the gauge stopped reading properly but I descaled the machine and it's been fine ever since. I keep it on a timer so by the time I stumble to the kitchen in the morning, it's ready for me. Also quite easy to get the pressure dialed in (I had to adjust it after moving to a higher altitude). I did recently have the hot water tap stop working (seems to be the valve and not a scale issue) but I only used it to drain the boiler when I descaled, so now I just siphon the water out. I think it's actually easier (and presumably easier on the pump, too) than draining it using the hot water tap. I will replace the valve at some point, but it's obviously not a priority. I can't give it five beans since I have had a couple of small problems, but for the price, and compared to other machines in that price range, I can't imagine there's much better out there.

  • VIVACE DOLCE--SUPERFRESH

    My only problem with my order was that it got here so fast I had to wait a week before I could pull a good shot. Good price, extremely fast shipping, and of course fresh Vivace beans are always great. Thanks!
