Ariete You&Me

Ariete (whose stuff is sold away from Continental Europe by Espressione,
DeLonghi, et al) has a really nifty new espresso machine, the You&Me:

The reservoir-filling mechanism seems strange, in that it looks from the
photos like replacing the lid seals the reservoir; I would think that would
be a problem for the pumping.

Has anyone seen one of these in person, or for sale (possibly under another
name) with in a US power form factor? (It sells for around 75EU in Italy.)
I'd like one simply as another paperweight to go with the Presso, but if I
could get one that works, so much the better!
