I bought this and Everyone loves it!! I get compliments all of the time. The espresso comes out perfect every time. The instructions are easy to follow. It does not come out scalding hot, but it is hot.. There are 6 different types of drinks to make. I can't say enough good things about this espresso machine. The value is good. The quality is Fantastic. It's great for having company over. I recommend this to all my friends and family.  5 stars!!!
