Breville Duo-Temp Pro Espresso Machine

Dear lord almighty, why do I have an espresso machine, of all things!?!Because when I woke up on my anniversary to a latte, how could I say "take it back"?We have had it for going on 4 months now, and have used it just about every day (no joke) to make espresso at the least, with some lattes and mochas thrown in, and she makes absolutely amazing espresso. The steam wand works its magic relatively fast. The whole thing is durable. There have been no mechanical defects out of the box.Look, its a home espresso maker. This review won't educate anyone, at anytime. But if you are this far, you have some concept of what you are doing, just like we did. As a espresso maker newb, I would recommend this one in a heartbeat to a fellow newb (or anyone else for that matter).Course, I would also recommend the extended warranty plan, cuz life happens, and I sleep better knowing if I break my $400 countertop beauty it is not the end of the world. :)
