My fiancé and I have been using this machine for the last 2 weeks and it is incredible. The coffee is perfect- the ability to easily change to “light” “medium” and “bold” along with the size (+ 3oz espresso) is amazing. Best machine we have owned. Highly recommend. The only thing that may bug people is that this machine is loud when it grinds up the beans- BUT I actually love the sound because it’s like I’m at a local coffee shop, it’s absolutely lovely and I CANT wait to wake up in the morning to grab a fresh cup of Joe. (Another setting - Ice coffee…ugh this machine is absolutely GOALS)
