We got this espresso machine and at first it was difficult to understand the instructions but I ended up going to YouTube and found a site that helped me get it going. Cleaning everything seems to be pretty easy as well. So far I can say I love this machine I’ve tried the frappe and I can’t wait to make my first espresso. I love the size of it and it looks so great in my kitchen. Will definitely recommend to everyone to go out and get this machine if they love different types of coffee.
