Even though I haven’t owned an automated espresso machine before (I used to own a classic manual commercial machine), I still feel like a Barista when preparing my morning Latte Macchiato (my favorite so far) or Iced Coffee, I still get to make them to my liking with different strength and size sets. With the option to make coffee with the press of a button and the many choices of coffee that I still have to try, I would highly recommend it.
