I have been wanting an espresso machine for a long time and was so excited to get this one. The instructions for setup are easy to fallow and doesn’t take too long. I did end up wasting a quarter bag of beans getting the correct grind and dose however once you get it right you don’t have to mess with it again unless you switch bean type. One I got all the settings right the machine makes good espresso shots that taste delicious. The frothing wand makes good foam and is easy to use. The only downside is I can’t froth my milk at the same time I’m pulling a shot. Now I just have to work on my latte art. The water from this is hot enough for a good cup of tea as well for cooking instant oatmeal.
