This model I bought does not have a psi gauge on it so it makes it a bit tricky to know when to open the valve. My main intention was for steaming milk but it takes a lot longer to gain the pressure to really steam a nice micro foam than I was anticipating. The espresso it produces isn't the best I've brewed either with other stove top or home espresso makers. Maybe it needs a little more tuning in and tweeting I just haven't gotten to the point of a great cup of cafe yet. Wee bit disappointed also in the design of the steaming wand it is an utterly awkward position to hold your foaming carafe in.

The good: It makes 3, 6 or 9 shots of expresso It has a steam wand Sturdy construction and I expect it will last a long time with care You can take it anywhere even camping and I haven't tried yet but I think you could use it on a small camp fire The bad: No pressure guage means it takes a lot of experience and skill to make good coffee consistently It takes too long to make a coffee because you have to wait for the expresso before you stretch the milk I would give 4 stars if it had a pressure guage and 5 stars if it was broken into 2 seperate parts, one for expresso and one for steam but each with a pressure guage.
1. Guys, ya need to read and follow directions. 2. Brewing will be iffy until you get the 'feel' of the machine. 3. After that, the coffee is excellent, latte' foam is good. Simple machine, good coffee, great combination.
