I thought it would take me a while to learn how to use this machine, but I was able to make a latte with ease. I feel like a barista! I try not to use grinds that are too fine because it's a bit too bitter for me. 

I live in an apartment and counterspace is very limited. I like that it's small enough to have on my counter without having to put it away when I don't use it. It doesn't take up too much space and it looks great on my counter. It makes my kitchen fancier! 

I love making cappuccinos, espressos, and lattes with this machine. I've been wanting to learn latte art, so it's been really fun! 

So, if you want a machine that costs less than fancier espresso machines and this is your first machine, I'd recommend this for you. It does what you need and want and it's really easy to use.
