I have been wanting this machine for a long time now and have been on the fence due to the price of it. However, once I received this and started using it, I have been blown away! I am so impressed with the quality and taste of the espresso this machine produces. One thing I don’t like is the noises it makes but just something to get used to. Also sometimes hard to clean all the spaces but it does clean up nicely. Highly recommend to all espresso lovers!
