This was a gift from my husband for Christmas. I enjoy specialty coffees so it is nice to make my own now. It's taken me a while to make a cup with just the amount of coffee and froth, but I enjoy it at least once a day. I have only one problem my Jack Russell Terrier really has a hard time when I use it. He does not like the sound of the pump or the frother and will shake like crazy, tuck his tail and go hide under the bed. It makes me laugh but also I feel bad that he is so unnerved about it. Hopefully over time he will get use to it. I love it and would recommend it for anyone who loves expresso, lattes and froth milk instead of just coffee and cream.
