I've had this machine for 18months. works well. Here's a couple of things I've picked up: You need fresh beans (2-5 days old). heaps of options online, if not locally. Even with a $10 blade grinder fresh ground beans will taste way better! Also, if you grab the cheapest beans from the supermarket and play with the grind/tamp levels until you get 30-45mL (1-1.5onces) in 25secs (it'll seem slow). As for steaming milk, I get reasonable micro-foam, but so far no latte art :(
