I’m a coffee snob, self proclaimed at least. This is   The best product if you like espresso / strong coffee!! The machine does all the work and the aerrocino is simply amazing. I have made drinks that mirror the taste and quality of Starbucks or fancy coffee houses. It is a little expensive, due to the cost of pods, but worth it. I have used it to make regular cups of coffee & also to make lattes. The frother that came with it works great! Makes both hot & cold froth!
