Great unit with multiple ways to make great coffee/Espresso at a very affordable price. Includes a steamer, something that makes this more authentic as a barista would use.  Always liked the Cuisinart brand.  Found the quality of this new model to be a step up from the previous models.  Looks and feels like a more robust design.  Controls now much more intuitive make it easy to select what you want with auto shut off.  After 2 mos. of use have found the unit to be everything as advertised.
