This is by far the Rolls Royce of espresso machines. We wanted the best since our coffee is the most important part of our day. Now we have such a great variety with just the ease of a button. This has 6 One-Touch Recipes with Color Icons to make it even easier to figure out: Espresso, Coffee, Americano, Iced Coffee, Long, Steam. One more delicious than the other.  We have thoroughly enjoyed making our coffee every morning, it has been such a pleasure.
