This machine is the best espresso machine that you can have.I am a coffee lover and cannot imagine every morning without having coffee and especially espresso that you can make at home.It was my first time using this machine,it took time to learn how to use it,just read all instructions and follow them of course it is going to take time but after that you can have the best coffee at home and you can make 2 cups at one time.Perfect size of this coffee machine not too big and too small and when you learn you can make not only espresso but also cappuccino.Amazing quality coffee machine that will last for  a long time.
