I love this coffee maker so much and it is probably used more than any other small appliance we have in our home! You can make lattes, expressos and cappuccinos all with one machine. It comes with a scoop/press and an instruction booklet with recipes. The machine itself matches all of my other small appliances and looks great on my counter, but doesn't take up too much room. There are 3 of us who uses this machine so we have been saving money like crazy by making our drinks at home and they all come out perfectly. It didn't take very long to learn the basics and wasn't hard to do at all. I am looking forward to learning new recipes! Definitely recommended!
