I had one of those combo machines years ago. The espresso part quit working and I wasn't a fan of the coffee side. In the trash it went. Back to my Mr Coffee.
As good as my tap water tastes, I think it must have too much mineral content for the espresso machines. Could be I just use the darn things more than the builders expect their customers to use them :lol: This makes #3 since I retired :lol:
