My husband and I have wanted an espresso machine forever but they always seemed out of our budget and intimidating. When we came across the KitchenAid brand of espresso machine we were excited.
The buttons are a little easy to push so I've bumped into the machine and started it a couple of times. It's sleek and doesn't take up a lot of counter space but the functions are awesome. The only thing I'm not really a fan of is how short the milk steamer nozzle is. You really have to be right up there to get it to work it's just not in a good placement on the machine. 
However, the drinks that my husband has created are epic and we are definitely over caffeinated at this house thanks to the KitchenAid espresso machine.
