Very nice machine. I own Delonghi 701 (702) for 9 years now and I'm waiting for parts. I got this machine to be my backup but I think it will be machine of my choice. In the mean time I tried Krups 5280, that I liked, but it broke after making 30 coffees (it could be my bad luck) and Espressione Minuetto that I didn't like but it wasn't that bad. I had a chance to try few more little machines but I wasn't impressed by them. I spend from $150 to $350 for these machines and I didn't get results that I want. I must say that I bought Viante for $89.00 @ nomorerack.com and I was really skeptical about it since I never heard of that brand before. Price was also too cheap and too good to be true. I was pleasantly surprised when I received and opened the box. It's very well build, little heavier than my Delonghi about 12-13lbs, stable, programmable and I think it's build to last. It's automatically programed for one and two shots but original setting is off (at least for me) so you will have to make your own and it's not too hard (read the instructions). Coffee grind needs to be fine in order to make a very good cup of espresso. For all enthusiasts machine does come with pressurized filter but if you want you can get rid of silicone gasket inside the basket and make a shoot without it. It's that easy, no need to look and to buy additional baskets or filters, etc. unless you need bottomless filter. They really paid attention to details with this machine. I don't like thermo block but it works fine with this machine. It's 1450 watts that has temperature sensor and it purges after each cycle so you get fine results and right water temp every time you make a shot. Priming is needed before you make a first shot mainly to heat up the equipment. 16 Bar pump is made in Italy and almost whole machine is made of stainless steel and aluminum. It looks good too. Milk frother (not plastic, very well build comparing to Krups and other makers) makes a lot of bubbles and I still have to work on that. I drink plain espresso and I don't get a lot of chance to practice. I usually use Lavazza Rossa or Lavazza Super Crema bean and grind coffee on my own. I get nice results and nice crema with these 2 coffees. This machine could easily cost $250-$350 comparing it to what's on market right now. This brand and this machine can actually be very competitive with Krups, Saeco, Delonghi ... I think it's the name that is unknown in Espresso World that is causing cheaper price. I have it more than a month and nothing went wrong, no malfunction, no bad shots. I make about 4-5 coffees a day, sometimes even more. Instructions are saying that you shouldn't tamp the coffee. I didn't notice any difference in doing it. I'm just used to tamping my coffee and I will continue doing it. Overall, very, very nice machine. It may not be good for first time user (I could be wrong) since there is few things that you will have to play with, specially coffee grind but for someone that is into the Espresso this machine will be a nice toy. There is one thing that I simply can't make it good. That's singe shot. I drink double anyway so It doesn't bother me at all. Good buy and very well made Viante!

I just got the machine today -much sooner than I expected- and took the water tank out of the machine, filled it with water and put it back on. Within seconds, my entire counter was flooded with water leaking from underneath the machine. I could not make the water leak stop and I have decided to send the machine back and stick with a more reputable maker.At least I tried to make it work...

Coffee was equal to low quality brewed coffee. Did not produce a consistent level of coffee. On the sixth or seventh cup later in the day the coffee was just warm not hot. Then it leaked.
