This is amazing. For someone who loves coffee and espresso the way i do, this has become a staple to my kitchen counter. I work from home and love nothing more than being able to go downstairs and make a double shot of anything. I also used to work at a starbucks, so i throw everything together and it's amazing. This espresso maker is super user friendly and easy to use. The frother is perfect and will be new if you're not used to them, but i promise it'll be a quick learning process! All in all, this beaut of an espresso machine will be just as great for you as it is for me! 10/10 would recommend
