Lowseas: We have had this product since December 2015. We use it nearly every second day since then. I did have trouble sourcing pods but found ICS had stock after Keurig discontinued them (I STILL HAVE STOCK). Makes great steamed lattes and espressos with the Keurig mini pods. I would love to be able to source another (new) unit but will now have to move to a next-generation coffee and espresso maker.
Good bye old friend.....

GC: PROS:
(a) Fast, heats up in <1-min; (b) easy to use; (c) very easy to clean up; (d) pump machine produces great crema; (e) makes great espresso using high-quality espresso grounds from Lavazza; (f) low noise; (g) compact; (h) well-made; (i) non-leaching; (j) inexpensive for a semi-automatic pump espresso, latte, cappuccino machine; and (k) comes with 12 free espresso pods, 3-ea in Decaf, Delicato, Classico, and Intenso.

CONS:
(1) Proprietary Rivo pods are expensive, though Keurig did drop the price recently. The cheapest price is $0.613/ea with discounts. That's high vs. E.S.E. pods. (2) The pods are not environmentally friendly. You can't just add the grinds to your garden or recycle them, nor are they biodegradable. I would very much like to see this change.

The Rivo is a semi-automatic espresso maker. It heats up quickly (<1-min), and pumps the water through the Lavazza Rivo pod producing beautiful crema on top of the espresso. The brew is consistent, the water temperature just right, and the aroma amazing.

This is our first espresso machine. There are four of us who drink espresso daily, having converted from Starbucks. We are all very, very...

Marie: This is the best gift she has gotten in years, she can not only close her eyes and enjoy the coffees she makes in her own home (she always complained so much about having to travel for 20-25 minutes to get a simple Cap or Latte. She is the greatest critic of kitchen tools. And, she says: it works fantastic, it looks fantastic,. it smells fantastic and her friends are jealous. I don't care about those things, I just crave my home made ExpressoS (each morning still in my pyjamas).

DjiSamSoe: We recently had our Gaggia Super Titanium give up the ghost. The thing was awesome. Loud, bulky, but awesome.

We tried manual french press for awhile and it was ok, but very wasteful. We'd go through a lot of coffee fast, and we didn't like all the grinding, scooping and waiting around for our fix each morning.

We're espresso nuts so we figured we'd try this out. We knew going into this that we'd be entering the world of "ink jet" model coffee brewing, so it's not a surprise that the capsules cost close to $1 per serving if you buy the 18-packs with price reductions based on volume. The wife drinks one a day, I drink 3-4 cups a day and this adds up fast. I've been trying to reuse the capsules using fine ground Lavazza super crema which we buy in the 2.2lb/1KG bags and the foil caps you can get for these capsules. It sounds like a cheap deal on paper, but it's not. It's a huge time sink where I find myself spending 1-2 hours per week cleaning, drying, grinding beans, packing, stamping and putting lids back on the capsules.

Let's do the math... The super crema costs us $25 per 1KG bag, that has enough coffee in it for about 100-110 capsules as each capsule has...

KatieJoandHerBooks: UPDATE: 7/1/2015

Well I was in love with this product. I have used it nearly everyday since I purchased it. It's been less than 2 years and it just stopped working. Keurig offered me a discount which is fine but honestly, when you spend this much you expect it to last longer. I am very disappointed.

I feel so neat having and using this machine. It's not an espresso machine but it does the same job only it's easier, faster, less messy. Espresso machines are thousands of dollars and the quality is pristine but not too many have thousands of dollars lying around for coffee. When I had my first cup, I tried to the decaf because they gave us a free 12 pack of the 4 flavors of espresso rivo offers. Anyways, it reminded me too much of hotel coffee. The flavor was ok and the smell took me back to a memory of being in a nice hotel w it's cheap coffee. The next morning I tried the classico because I already ordered 72 packs of it, going by customers reviews and it was better. It's still not amazing but I paid 245$ for this machine so I can't really complain. I've worked as a barista on and off for 3 years or so and our machine cost $4000 and there is a big difference to me,...
