I waited a few weeks to post this review as it took me a bit to get this beautiful machine “dialed in” and making the perfect espresso. This is a great quality product and once you get the hang of it works great. The odd cup cup still doesn’t make it to the appropriate pressure level but I have to attribute it to a miss on proper tamping.  I do love it and would have given it a 5 rating if it allowed steaming and brewing at the same time. You can’t beat the aroma of freshly ground beans and a cappuccino at home in the morning!
