Oh this machine is amazing! It's a beast, LA Specialista Prestigio has really created the perfect Expresso, Latte, Coffee Machine. This is such a fancy yet easy to setup and operate machine. I set it up myself and was able to grind my own beans into the perfect blend for my favorite expresso. It has multiple settings, and the manual explains the many functions that you can adjust. There's nothing like grounding fresh beans into coffee, expresso, or having a Latte in your own home and this machine is a real conversation piece! My girlfriends love coming over for Latte / expresso mid morning meetings. Get the machine, you will love it!!!
