Just got this machine and was worried about the body being plastic but the tools are made professionally and handle exceptionally.   So far the grinder is working very well.I was a Starbuck Barista back in the 80s into the 90s and most of what we did was not automated.  So I prefer to control the functions like the steam wand myself but I’m finding this auto steam wand is doing a great job.  So far I’m very happy.  This machine was an excellent price and very nice looking too.
