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.

What are those?
Also, i bought the philips 3200 yesterday and it has already shipped out. So no worries about it getting canceled.
Edit: GOT IT

Keep in mind, espresso is a hobby. A semi-auto will give better coffee (read my post above yours) but it will take significantly more work than a single button press + minor configuration options.
