Amen. My Via Venezia is the same internally, but as I'm sure you know Saeco no longer makes either model, having gone over to the dark side of fully automatic espresso machines. There are still some well-regarded moderately priced semi-automatics out there, including the Spanish-made Ascaso, but I hope not to have to replace my machine any time soon -- if ever.Hello,
Still using Saeco Aroma. Loving it!
Take care
