This espresso machine is amazing. From the sleek modern looks to the high quality accessories, you simply cannot go wrong. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, even to a novice like myself. The only thing I wish was higher quality is the body of the machine itself. It is made out of hard plastic that while attractive, does not provide as much of a “wow” factor as a metal body would have. Overall you cannot go wrong with this machine. Great coffee, great looks, and super easy to use.
