It’s a beautifully designed machine and makes a delicious cup of espresso. It comes with many pieces to create the perfect cup including filters of one to two shots for freshly grounded as well as for prepackaged espresso, and an espresso press tool. The machine and pieces are very easy to clean once finished.  One issue however, are that the filters a take a little work to remove from the portafilter. It became easier to more I did it but, with that said, if I had issues at my age, it may be difficult for someone older or with arthritis problems.
