I absolutely love this machine. I can make myself a custom latte in the morning and save myself from having to wait in line at the local coffee shop before work. Which means I can get an extra 30 minutes of sleep. Which in itself is priceless. But on top of that this machine makes delicious drinks. The milk gets frothier than I expected and since I can tweak the recipe myself, I honestly believe that these lattes taste better than the coffee shops. And it makes my kitchen smell amazing also. I love that it's so simple to use as I've never had a fancy coffee maker before and I wasn't sure what to expect out of the box. But I'm forever sold on this machine now. I recommend it to any one but especially hard working moms who need a little extra sleep at night and a good pick me up in the morning.
