And the porta-filter is aluminum lined with hard plastic, which to me looked very cheap.

I actually expect solid plastic that matches the gauge of the rest of the machine

Cheap plastic tamp

It serves it's purpose admirably, but the plastic is impossible to clean, so it starts smelling like stale coffee

When I got mine from Amazon, the first thing I did was to remove the weird inner plastic piece from the filter holder and plug the screw holder with a small bolt

None of the cheap black plastic all over.

The cap is a cheap plastic glued on and with washing in the sink the heat must have caused the glue to lose grip

the package came scratch plastic tank

It smells like the most toxic plastic there has ever been

I only hope it continues to look and work as well as it has

I love my machine I've had it for 2 years now and still working just as great as when I got it.

Works like a charm, easy to maintain, and looks great on the counter.***10 month update, the machine is working just as great as it did on day

I foam the milk cold and then heat it on the stove, and although it isn't as hot as if it were steamed, it is perfect microfoam that lasts til the last drop!

Great seller A+

I've had this machine for some time now, and it still works as perfectly as it did when I first purchased it

It will kill me since I am having twice coffee as much as before since I have bought this

n’t work
