After using the “convenience” machines for years, I was ready to up my coffee game and got this espresso machine. A  bit of a rocky start but I absolutely love this espresso machine after all is said and done. It takes a bit of practice to get the grind right and the tamping pressure correct but with a few practice rounds I was making the best of the best cups of barista style coffee drinks. This machine is sleek and doesn’t take up too much room but adds the perfect touch to my coffee bar. Definitely try this out if you want to bring your coffee palette to another level.
