I have had a Capresso C1500 superautomatic since 2003. It's starting to leak a bit and is making some odd noises, so I decided to replace it.

I quickly decided on a Saeco Syntia this morning. Seems to have everything I want and, most importantly, does so for under $1000. The machines I'd buy if I had all the money in the world would cost $3000+.

Anyone have any experience with Saeco? I know it's the same company that makes Gaggia.

Anyhow, it will be delivered tomorrow (gotta love $3.99 next day with Amazon Prime), so I guess I'll find out soon enough.
