Automatic Espresso Machine

Automatic Espresso Machine
Newer super automatic espresso machines, any good?

Are these machines worth the money, any one have one they use in their home? Pros, Cons?
Would just a nice semi-auto be a better setup? Any recommendations?

Super Automatics are OK, if you spend a small fortune on them. Otherwise they're only good for strong/inconsistent coffee.

I use a Rancillio Silvia semi-automatic & I get great espresso in 5 minutes from turning it on. Yes I have to measure the coffee on a scale, I have to tamp it properly, and I needed a quality grinder (still cost less than a super automatic).

Good coffee is rarely to be found at the push of a button. Once you've had it, you'll know.
