I love that this machine takes the guesswork out of my morning espresso shots.
I have others in the house less likely to take care of my things, the pump actually stops if the water is depleted - I’ve never had a machine that did that before. I also love that it turns off after a certain amount of time. No more coming home from work and finding the espresso machine is still on after someone else used it in the morning but didn’t turn it off. Even the tamper is heavy-duty.
So far, my confidence in KitchenAid countertop appliances is being bolstered.
