I was a barista for 6 years through undergrad and I loved it. I missed the control over my espresso drinks and the unlimited availability once I transitioned into working in my career field. Not any longer! This machine offers the ease of use for any beginner through its automatic steam settings and multiple filter options, but gives those with more experience the ability to take control through a manual steaming option. The size is perfect as it is compact and doesn’t take up more room than your typical 12-cup coffee maker. Which as an apartment dweller, I appreciate greatly!
I would suggest this espresso machine to those searching for a good at-home option. I have been so happy with it. Definitely makes Monday mornings a bit more tolerable, and adds extra enjoyment to any day of the week ending in “y”.
