While this machine makes great espresso using the proprietary capsules, that's all it does. Also, the documentation is scant and it does not address use of Lungo capsules. It took us a while to figure out the machine adjusts the water quantity automatically. The steaming wand is cumbersome and not very good at it's job.  We'll use the machine for making espresso, but stick to our foaming pitcher for heating and foaming milk.
