Only used this for a few weeks but so far it’s great. Watched some videos on how to properly tamper the coffee & how to properly make a cappuccino. The setup was really easy & it’s very easy to make a delicious coffee. Aesthetically, it looks really nice on our counter & it’s not any more or less loud than your average coffee machine. Perfect if you’re sick of having pod based espresso & looking for a more satisfying taste.
