Sweet machine! Very similar to my Gaggia Mini Classic.

You are now in a wonderful class of espresso machines that use the E61 brew heads.

Never will you worry about proper brew temp again and consistently great shots are the norm, provided you get a really good grinder, as it will want it.

The one thing I would suggest is to give it plenty of time to warm up and do a quick flush before pulling a shot as the group head will get VERY hot and only use spring water or very filtered water.
