I found my dream espresso machine, one that has a small footprint but doesn’t compromise on function. It is stunningly well made and looks amazing on my kitchen counter. As a beginner to making my own espressos, I really appreciate how easy it is to use. It took some time, but I’ve figured out how to make an espresso that tastes just as delicious as the ones I get from my nearby coffee shop. This is where the steam wand really comes in handy. I also like that the bottom tray is removable to allow for taller cups. I am very satisfied and will save a lot of money now.
