Semi-auto machines are what all espresso enthusiasts prefer. A machine like this is 100% for convenience... but it significantly reduces customizability or upgrade potential. Espresso is very complicated, and thus generally very expensive.
You're putting puck of coffee under high pressure and getting water to flow in very specific ranges. Water flows through the path of least resistance too, so a poorly made puck will make bad coffee.
The difference between a super-auto like this, and a semi-auto is that you have to prep and remove the puck yourself, but generally everything else is handled for you. This gives you a huge amount of customizability in prepping the puck... suck as how much coffee.. grind size... distribution of grinds... etc. With a super auto, you are generally stuck with their grinder, a couple of settings to change grind size, and a couple of settings to change dose. Is grind size 4 too sour but grind size 5 is bitter? Too bad... hopefully one of the other variables they let you touch makes a small enough gets you a good cup. Otherwise, deal with it or try again with a different bean.
EDIT: I do also want to clarify, at this price point you're probably going to get a good cup of coffee (after adjustments). You just may find it difficult to get a GREAT cup of coffee. Diminishing returns and all that.

Anything you'd recommend other then the current deal? I just ordered the Gaggia Magenta Prestige for $800 from another deal, wanting to see if there is a better deal here
