Shadow, thanks for your advice. I will make use of the forum you recommend.
Is the "tips and FAQ" area you are talking about located on this site or on the WholeLatteLove site?
I have not been able to locate it, so would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction!
I received a Saeco Spidem Villa as a gift. I am wondering if anybody has one these and has used it? The machine has many different settings but the manual gives no indication of how the drink will be altered by using different settings. This is my first espresso machine so it is all new to me...
