U get what U pay for...

As U probably know I bought a Salvatore Espresso Maker...in October of 2003...it is handbuilt with all commercial parts in Solvang , CA. There are NO plastic parts in the machine all Brass and Copper. After looking over what was available and listening to the advice in the form of reviews on Whole Latte Love that the people who purchased high end machines wished they had done so earlier instead of screwing around with lessor machines I ponied up the money and bought the Salvatore.I have had no regrets in nealry 7 years. As a matter of fact there are some purchases that are worth the money because YOU USE THEM EVERYDAY..this is one of them.

I have used that Salvatore everyday for nearly 7 years without a problem. SOmetimes I leave it on all day..

When looking for an Espresso maker..NEVER buy a machine that does everything...there is simply to many things to BREAK. Buy a single purpose machine that brews the coffee and also buy a good quality BURR Coffee Grinder..the MINI MAZZER is the top of the stroke..

You can also see Salvatores for sale on E-bay from time to time..if something is wrong they can be easily rebuilt. My Salvatore has my name on the inside..Salvatore takes the order and then he builds a machine for you..so your name is going to be on the inside.

I have been very happy with my machine and would recommend that anybody who wants a quality machine look no further than a Salvatore.
