This is the rolls Royce of coffee/latte/espresso makers! I am used to the really cheap coffee machines that make even the pricier coffees taste horrible… until I got this Magnifica system! It takes coffee beans, grinds them and brews the most delicious cup of coffee !!!! And the design is sleek and beautiful, my wife loves the latte option it taste just like your local coffee shop. If you are a coffee aficionado I highly suggest.
