2nd Owner, but it came from a family member. They were not using it enough so I bought it from them.

It is used 3-4 times a week for shots, or lattes. The gasket and screen have been changed and I have an extra gasket. I back flush it weekly and use distilled water in it.

The machine itself is 13.5" x 9" x 10.5"

On the stand with the grinder it is 16.25" x 19" x 15.5"

If you have any more questions let me know.

Thanks for the info. You mentioned backflushing it. Does this thing require a lot of maintenance? I use a drip machine now but would really like an espresso machine.

Not at all. When you run a shot for a drink you just run a little extra water to get any coffee off the screen and wipe the screen and gasket. I have a brush that fits it so its quick and simple.

Once a week I backflush just to make sure its staying clean. It takes about 3 minutes. You put a little detergent on the blank disk and tun the machine for about 20 seconds. It send the water through it to clean the 3 way valve at the bottom. Depending on use you should do this once a week or every two weeks.

Descaling is simple, I will probably do it before it leaves, but you just run a solution throught to break up the build up. Its best if you run distilled water to not only keep the build up down, but also to get more of the coffee flavors, instead of the flavor hidden by hard or tap water.

This is a great first machine. Its very easy to use and very forgiving as you learn to make your drinks.
