I really wanted it to work, but reviews were right

I really wanted to believe in this machine but after a week's use I am disappointed - one unacceptable issue and one I may get used to: 1) The tank leaks - the reviews said it, and I didn't want to believe, but it does - a full tank has dripped on my counter twice now, so it is not "user error." Based on other reviews and my experience, this is definitely a design error that KitchenAid should have recalled. 2) Either the pump is not strong enough or the time is not calibrated well, but the double shot is way too short - I tried to customize it to a minimum of 30 seconds, which is a very normal time for this, and it stops too soon, and the coffee volume is minimal. So I have to run it twice, and the second time it seems that the pump "gets tired" and stops. Doesn't feel sturdy for the brand.

Most Dissapointed

I liked all its features and would have been very happy with the product except that it started leaking water at the water tank connector the very first time I pulled an espresso shot. I then saw on Reddit that many others were experiencing the same issue. It’s apparently an engineering flaw? I immediately returned it to the store I had purchased it and received a full refund. I was very disappointed that it was brand new and already had an issue on day one.
