I was pleasantly surprised how much I love this machine. The Dedica Arte is very compact, and takes little counter space. I use everyday.
You can also make two espressos at once, which is pretty handy for my husband & I.
But you can easily make one also. 
The steam wand is powerful enough to make enough foam for two cappuccinos or a large latte. The refillable water storage tank is big enough for a weeks worth of coffee & steam.
I have never made an espresso, cappuccino or latte before, but the instructions that come with the machine are very easy to follow. Like anything, the more you make the better get at making the perfect cup. I’m very satisfied and impressed with this machine. I would highly recommend this product.
