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. :)

The first time I used the TWIST espresso came out, but it had no creme. It seemed to take a long time (at least 1 minute ) and I could hear the gas noise. The second time I used finer gound espresso because the instructions said that would be important for producing the creme. But when I pulled the trigger nothing came out so I changed the No2 cartridge and still nothing came out other than I heard the noise from the cartrigde gas being released. I completely rinsed and dried everything out and tried a third time. The second cartridge was empty so I inserted a third cartridge. Again no espresso and all the gas was released from the cartridge. I went through 3 NO2 cartridges and only got 2 shots of espresso the first time! It is obviously defective and it does not produce 8 shots of espresso per NO2 cartridge. I would not recommend this product.

The other reviewers essentially say it all. I have made espresso on various machines, from a Quickmill Vetrano to a Caravel lever machine. This little feat of engineering makes espresso as good as anything costing many times it's price.
One reviewer noted the plastic lower spout assembly. I have been using it without this as a "naked" portafilter. If it was metal the weight would be quite high.

I loved the design and was intrigued by the rave reviews so I decided to give the TWIST a shot - no pun intended. It's elegant and even better than it looks on the web. The box it comes in is very well done and inviting - like opening a package from Apple. I rushed to pull my first shot and didn't bother to read the instructions. Coffee poured out really fast, was weak and slightly ran over the sides. That's when I decided to carefully read the illustrated instructions. The coffee I had used was too coarse for the basket. I changed to the pressurized basket, pre-heated the water bowl, added very hot water, pulled the trigger and ... voila! Simply THE best shot of espresso I have ever tasted. The crema is remarkable, you can smell and taste the oils in the bean and it brings out flavors I had only read about until now. I highly recommend it! Make sure you read the simple and well-written instructions. The buzz is fully justified - this is an incredible machine! Enjoy!
