This machine does produce good espresso, but it is not durable. I purchased the maching in January, the pump stopped working the end of May. I called the company, they replaced it. New one arrived the beginning of June, began leaking out the bottom of the tray two weeks later. The company informed me it'll be September before they can replace it and offered a much cheaper model as a replacement. I'm very disappointed in both the product and the customer service offered.

This book arrived in the condition as described: still in shrinkwrap, with the cd, and totally new. I had to buy it for my school. It puts me to sleep when I start to read it, but I have no interest in computer details. I know how to use it and that's enough for me. But it is a great read for someone who is really interested in computers.
