Performs as advertised. Water temperature and grind sensitive. Descent crema. For European purchasers beware of the recharge cartriges. Not all brands work due to length differences and cap ends. I found the ISI brand name (made in Austria) works well. A bit of cotton wool at the end of the screw part of the handle compensates well for the few milimeters difference. If not the gaz will eventually leak out and after a couple of hours there will be no pressure.

Gave to husband for a Christmas gift because he loves espresso and travels a lot.
Item is very big and heavy and cumbersome to travel with or use anywhere. He said
you get approx. one shot of gas per use and by the time the water gets heated and
into the cup it's no longer hot - and very hot is desired for a cup of espresso.
Needless to say it was a rather expensive flop and is no longer being used.

Once I realized that the small o-ring fell out (wasted 3 cartridges trying to figure out what was wrong) I was able to pull some very nice shots from this machine. It is a very clever design and from what I can tell the cheapest, easiest way to make true espresso.
I soak the unit in boiling water while I am grinding and dosing and I have no temperature issues (that I can taste in the shot anyway). It would be nice to make the o-ring a little more secure and it would also be nice to have some kind of way to tell how much pressure is left in a cartridge. Those are the only drawbacks I have experienced with the mypressi.

I have only made 5 shots so far, but they all come out very nice. I use Lavazza "il perfetto espresso" from [...], which (in quantity) costs about 1/3 of what I used to pay for the illy at WholeFoods.
In reply to Francesco Fato: I think there is no point in preheating the lower hemisphere because the plastic has a low heat capacity and never holds the brew. But you may as well go naked and remove it as suggested by "Reflex". Today I used the pressurized cup without the lower hemisphere and had it squirt directly into the pre-heated milk. That created a great froth for my latte.
I wonder when people will stop using their big and noisy machines in favor of the mypressi.
The cartridges cost between $0.50 and $1 a piece depending on quantity etc.

I received my Twist as a Christmas gift.
While the instructions indicate that I can expect four Double-shots or eight Single-shots per N2O charger, I've used two of them so far and got 5 (five) Doubles out of both using the standard double-shot basket, 16g of beans ground at "10" on a Rancillo Rocky grinder (for reference, I grind for drip at "21" and vac pot at "30").
After the first two attempts (too fine a grind and/or too firm a tamp leading to 60+ and 45 second pulls respectively), I seem to be getting between 20 & 25 second pulls ending with *tons* of crema & a very smooth taste (using Sweet Maria's "Espresso Monkey Blend", roasted the morning of 12/26). No bitterness at all.
Very easy clean up, doesn't tie up a bunch of counter space. I'm one happy espresso drinker. :)
