Awesome

I've had my EAM3200 for almost two years and it has worked wonderfully. Some seals seem to have become a little loose as I now hear some sizzling in the machine (like water hitting something hot) in the machine as it warms up. I'm not too disappointed about that since I use it very frequently going through a can of Illy every week or so. I have never had a single problem. This is definitely the low end of the super-automatic machines with dials instead of the digital display of the more upscale models, but it gets the job done and produces wonderful espressos and american coffees. We also like the front-loading water tank since we have the machine underneath a cabinet. It would be slightly annoying, I think to have the pull the entire machine out every time to refill with water, especially if you use it as much as we do. If I was going to spend a little more, I'd upgrade to the machine that comes on automatically, but I don't mind turning it on in the morning for a savings of ~$400. For that much, I'll turn it on manually and heat my cups with hot water from the hot water dispenser.
