Opinions on AEG machine ?

Hi, I'm in the UK and looking to get a half decent coffee machine to make cappucino and Espresso.

Just wondering if anyone had an opinion on AEG machines, specifically this one;

It will be my first 'proper' coffee machine, I'm not very experienced (I have a drip machine at the moment...), so the 'automatic' part is going to be a bonus as far as my needs go. Just wondering if this thing actually looks any good to you coffee conneiseurs.

Any help gratefully received !

You might want to post this on "alt.coffee"--it's a much, much more active group and you're more likely to get good answers there.

The machine appears to be in the general category of "super auto" machines--whether that particular model is decent or not I have no idea myself. Upside of that general class of machine is that once you get it adjusted it will give you fairly repeatable results, downside is that its best isn't as good as you can learn to do by hand.

Cheers, done. Just thought there might be a few more UK people in here with it being a .rec group. Plus alt.coffee seems to be full of stuck up idiots who prattle on about how only one cup of coffee they've made in the last decade has been excellent, the rest have just been good :/

Can't seem to find many reviews of it either.

But I'm assuming its 'best' would still be far better than that acheivable with instant coffee or a drip filter machine... :)

Let's start out with what you're really looking for. Do you _like_ espresso? Some people do, some don't. Personally I didn't at first but it grew on me.
