I am from Puerto Rico and got my Handpresso through Coffee World Puerto Rico(http://www.coffeeworldpuertorico.ecrater.com) I received my Handpresso about a week ago. The first expression is that this Handpresso is just nicely built, as well as the case. Making espresso is very easy, and it takes a minute or so to make a cup. I was impressed with the coffee. Believe me for a portable machine, coffee was great. Now my Handpresso substituted my Krups machine. I use Island Joe’s ESE pods and Lavazza Grand Crema. A good hint is: to make sure espresso has an ok temperature, I heat up my cup as well as the water container before actually adding the boiling water. I always fill a bit more water (a few drops more) so the ESE pods gets soaked before extraction. And it really takes about 30-38 pumps, no big deal. With this I get a great espresso and crema too. I recommend buying ESE pods buy bulks of 100 or 150, it gets cheaper. The unit works best with the standard 7g E.S.E pod.
