La Spaziale S1

Great machine for this price point, aesthetically pleasing and is user friendly

Machine should come with a no burn steam wand and 4 hole 9mm tip. I know this affects the initial sales price, but it really helps to extent the frothing time needed to make creamy milk

A great Machine, easy to use, heats up fast. Comes in a sexy red color

Learning curve on micro foam production

Makes great espresso and latte. Both my wife and I find it easy to use

The manual seems to come in two parts, and some part(s) I think I even had to download. Things could have been a little clearer for setup and first use

Very easy to use. Looks good. Makes superb coffee

I would like to adjust water temperature +2 degrees without having to change internal settings

Programmable volume ; Plummable ; Temperature stability ; Dual boilers ; Massive steam ; Easy to program and use

A bit of a quirky timer. It has to be nestled behind the machine. It works well, although it was not intuitive to program ; The drain tray is plastic. I was more used to the stainless steel version of the Rancilio and the screen that rests on the...

Shot quality is simply awesome _AND_ consistent, even through multiple successive shots ; Steaming (using optional 4 hole tip) plentiful, and easy because of the pivoting steam wand ; Volumetric dosing, one less variable to tweak

I would have preferred it would out of the box turn-on on power up. (vs go into standby) ; It's a bit on the noisy side of things, too little was done to dampen vibrations ; No thermal insulation of the boilers to reduce energy consumption ; Build...

quick, easy to get up to really good repeatable shots, from zero experience. Am using S1 V2 plumbed in version ; This thing is really almost all 10's at it's price point. I gave it 8's and 9's because there are better units out there, although they...

slight fit and finish issue. My dual gauge is slightly off level, barely fits the bezel. Many people wouldn't notice, but my son did.It hasn't bothered me enough to try to adjust it

Easy to learn and use. Pretty easy to clean and maintain. Quality of espresso is great. Easy enough to use that a non-coffee-phile can handle it

If you have to open it, getting it back together is a bit of a pain. The timer flakes occasionally for no observable reason. Running the two boilers at the same time is supposed to be done only on a 20A circuit, but I fudged and only had one case where...

Amazing quality and power. Compared to the Brewtus II this machine has a much more solid feel. Great steam power, much quieter, less vibration

I am not a huge fan of the black plastic sides but the design has grown on me a bit. It would be nice to see stainless or chrome

Very easy to setup -- connect water line and plug in ; Very quiet, internals are insulated and protected ; NO expensive chrome e61 brew head to polish, nor shiny chassis to rub ; Four hole tip produces excellent microfoam

Stock steam arm a little too short, a longer one is available at low cost
