After almost a month and a second try, I give up.
There are some pros, though, and it would be unfair not to mention them …
Nice design, very attractive.
The coffee is not bad at all.
And, the customer support very competent and knowledgeable.
But …
The machine seems to have a mind of its own.
The first one didn’t work at all. I called customer support, but more to accomplish a formality … When you pay $1,000.00 for a product, the last thing you expect is to have to spend the first day trying to make it work.
But I decided to give it another try.
The second one started just fine. User friendly, great coffee, stylish (looks great on the counter)…
After a couple of weeks, the output became inconsistent (some shots not even enough to fill a tablespoon). Resetting the amount of water didn’t help. Customer service suggested that I avoid using the fine grind settings … in other words: avoid certain settings, you may mess-up the machine. Well, this is not what I was expecting from a $1,000.00 machine.
At the same time, the brewing group started spilling the ground coffee all over the brewing compartment, without apparent reason (and, therefore, no way to fix it). Cleaning became a hassle.
The bottom line is … not worth $1,000.00. This is the reason for the single star.

Just purchased the Espressione Supremma and love it. I have used other brands, Saeco and Delonghi and this one is much better. Did have to go through set up procedures and adjust grinder to proper setting, but once I did that, the unit works like a dream. Tight dry pucks in the waste container. Holds about 20 before you have to dump out. The cobalt blue light looks awesome when the unit is on at nite in my kitchen. The touch screen is so simple to use. I was able to program the size of the 4 espresso drinks to my size cups. Also I just used the auto frother and it froths awesome. You need to remove the frother on the unit and screw this one on and then place the tube into the milk and it sucks it up and comes out hot and frothed. The computer on this unit is very smart. It will show you on the screen if the dump box is full or if a component is missing. I am loving my new purchase and plan to have it for a long, long time.

We’ve used this machine at our home overseas in 220-240V version for over four years and have found it to be flawless in performance, effortless in programming and use, so uncomplicated to use that we had this in a orthodontists office where adults and children alike used the machine. Purchased the 110-120V version and am delighted with performance (seems to be some improvements over orignal model we own) Creates an excellent crema at the perfect temperature when pulling a shot(s) of espresso or an americano. Preinfusion feature insures great results. Plenty of powerful, dry steam for frothing milk. A breeze to use the cappucinador by placing line into milk jug or container, frothing milk directly into the cup. Touch screen panel gives clear and straightfoward commands. Audible bell tone advises if there is an item not in place, not enough water or dump bin needs to be cleaned. Generally I make between 18-22 coffees before needing to remove and clean the dump bin. Pleasant cobalt blue power switch and cobalt blue light that illuminates the large water tank. Grinder adjustment is very easy. customer service taught me a trick where you can “increase the grind time” thus receiving optimum results from a hard or heavily roasted coffee bean. This gave us the capability of achieving a sold coffee cake or puck after each coffee. We owned another brand here in america and it was difficult to remove the brewing group (a key was required). This one extremely easy to remove for cleaning with one turn of a clip and one knob that you unscrew. All in all we view this machine as outstanding and our thrilled that we can recommend our friends to buy it on Amazon. Although the water reservoir and bean container is larger than a unit that we used from Switzerland, I’m going to contact the maker to see if it’s possible to get even a larger water reservoir and a larger bean container.
