I’ve waited a while before reviewing so that I could use it fully first. It makes very nice barista coffee, just as good as from a coffee shop with a big machine. It makes a good crema on the top which we both love. The milk frother is a bit lacklustre and I find there isn’t enough steam power to heat milk up properly and you have to wait a fair while for it to regain steam pressure again before steaming. It works well if you heat the milk in the microwave first before frothing with the machine.Personally we don’t find this hugely disappointing as it’s the coffee making bit that we use mostly for black espressoamericano but the milk issue can easily be got around and it froths already hot milk well. We think it’s a good buy for us.
