Saeco Poemia Espresso Machine

$80

An easy-to-use Espresso machine for beginners and general users, can produce good results out of pre-grounded beans from superstores and alike, haven't used it since I got my Breville Infuser. Last descaled on March 18. Pros: 1. It's a boiler machine with a replaced brass portafilter that gets ideal thermal mass and stable temperature. 2. Patented pressurized portafilter produces dense crema and a full-bodied taste even if you don't have a good grinder (> $100 ) or are using pre-grounded coffee. 3. Automatic milk frother, easy to use, good for making Cappuccinos. Cons: 1. Not suitable for bottomless. The machine doesn't have an OPV inside, which means you could damage it if you grind the beans too fine. 2. The body is not pure metal; it takes more time to heat the cups, and the original portafilter is made of aluminum, so I replaced it with a brass one; both are very tight to lock on or unlock.
