This semi auto 3 in 1 barista maker is awesome. The milk frother is trouble free plus it's automatic. With the one touch control panel, it is a breeze to get exactly the cup size you want. The ease of using the control panel is enhanced by the selections of automatic size per cup or manual customization of ingredients per cup. The water and milk reservoirs, are easy to fill. Easy to put back in place. The items included are simple to wash up. However, nothing is dishwasher safe. It's important to rinse your machine before you use and to maintain a steady cleaning schedule as this will assist in keeping the water at the correct temperature for your coffee. The only drawback, I found was that the presser/tamper is cheap and pressing too hard may break it.
