Ahhh! I'm not the only one with the problem? My parents had one like 3 years ago and I would use it, but they brought it back so many times and kept getting new ones because of this problem. They said never again and if I wanted one I could buy one myself. Never happened.

That's not to say they didn't love it either! But I guess for them, it wasn't worth the annoyance.

Congrats on the new espresso machine! Enjoy it and I hope it lasts!

One thing I never did understand is why Starbucks and Gloria Jean (I think that's the name) charge literally $5.00 for an espresso or a frap. I mean, of course they're really good, but come on. I can think of alot better things to spend my money on than a drink.
