I’ve made probably a dozen shots now and I’m satisfied.Pros-*decent shot as I get from most places. Improving all the time as I refine it*Easy to clean! Thank you Staresso!*feels very high quality*very stable on counter while pumpingCons and needed improvements*little brush that comes with is plastic and the tip to push out the mesh in bottom of basket just doesn’t get the job done and in fact the tip broke off immediately. You need a little metal pin of some kind.*the spike to punch pods just doesn’t quite make it through most of the time. I think it needs to be just a smidge longer. I end up checking and always need to punch through manually with the same little thing I found to push out the mesh plate to clean*I like the little glass but I do wish it had just a tiny spout. Pouring from it is a little messy and I feel like I lose a little cremaOverall highly recommend. Great for a small cortado or Affragato. I’m trying to get a second basket so I can pop a second one in to make two shots. I really should have gotten the 300 but an extra basket assembly set should work fine too. I’ve even done two pods in a row.Seriously equals most shots or espresso I’ve gotten at local coffee places. There is only one place here that makes a truly fine shot. So for the money I’m saving and not having to drive somewhere I’m super satisfied. I have no doubt I’ll get better at it too as I refine what I like. It’s extremely helpful if you are really taking it out and about to get pods but there definitely needs a little improvement on the punch function in the device, at least for the Peet’s pods I picked up. It just doesn’t get quite through. And the little brush needs definitely to be improved for pushing out the basket assembly innards. It simply doesn’t work. Plastic no bueno. Or at least THAT plastic. It’s not sturdy enough.The rest of the device is very sturdy and stable. Surprisingly easy to pump and use. If you like two shots though I highly suggest moving to the 300. I do kind of wish I’d gotten that although a little one shot cortado isn’t a bad thing either. Kinda nice if I have the yen but it’s late in the day.Biggest thing to remember is heat the chambers and glass up before using and pump some hot water into the pump. You’ll be a lot happier with the quality of the shot. It’s not a big deal to do.If you live in a small space this is really awesome.
