Being a newbie at the art of making a home espresso, I was a mite apprehensive.  However, after a thorough reading of the enclosed brochure, I was ready to go. For anyone new at this, a great idea is to first read the instructions carefully. The espresso was not very difficult to make, and sure was tasty.  The machine is easy to clean and quite streamlined. It comes with the items pictured in the photo. It doesn’t clutter the kitchen counter, which is Is a great plus. The steam frothing wand for is also a nice touch. I’d definitely recommend the Dedica Arte
Coffee maker for those wanting a fresh home brew without a lot of hassle.
