There is a reason its named magnifica, best coffeemaker ever. I am very impressed with this coffeemaker. I watched the videos and assembled in 5 minutes. You can make any type of coffee that you desire right at home. Great way to save tons of money from the expensive coffee shops. The frother is the nicest i have ever used. You can store your milk in the container in the refrigerator. It takes beans or ground coffee. I am in love with this and will be a coffee barista in no time
