I am absolutely in love with this Dedica Arte machine!  Not only is it incredibly beautiful, it brews an amazing cup of espresso!  I love that it does not take up much room on my countertop.  It was easy to set up, and the instructions were clear and well explained.  You can use your favorite cup, so you aren't limited to just a  small espresso cup. I always add milk, and the machine makes creating silky and creamy foam very easy. I also like that it is easy to clean.  If you are looking for an outstanding cup of espresso, then this is the machine for you.  It also looks like a piece of luxurious art on your countertop too! I highly recommend this machine for any espresso lover.  It is incredible!
