My husband bought me the Breville Cafe Roma Expresso Machine from Amazon. The product came through KM Supplies, which an Amazon customer service told me is part of Amazon. My husband paid $299 for the machine. The expresso maker failed out of the...

So coming from a crummy Krups machine, there's an adjustment period. Fewer beans, less espresso to create a richer taste. And yes, the beans are everything. We use Illy "Ground Coffee Dark Roast for Espresso Machines" and are in love. You must...
