I've had my Icona now for over a year and I'm still very pleased with it considering its the first pumped machine I've had. Makes great coffee everytime! I've seen other reviews on how after a while of owning it tends to leak out of the filter and milk frother whilst heating up. Mine has done this a few times now but DESCALING your machine (as said in the instruction manual) works. Doing this also keeps it producing great coffee whether it's pods or ground coffee! For the price nothing else can do better.
