I really like the espresso this makes. It actually tastes fresh as as opposed to keurig kcups. I took off a star because the frother makes it too frothy for me which wastes milk, but if you like cappuccino, this in awesome. I prefer lattes and just have to take off the foam. Again the espresso is so good , especially the vanilla and almond ones for a treat!  Easy machine to use and clean also. Has held up also.
