This is by far the easiest latte maker I have ever used! It works well, is easy to clean, and super easy to use - I've even got my husband making lattes now! I love that the filter is reusable and that you do not need to worry about using super fine coffee grounds like you would with a traditional espresso/latte maker. The cold foam option is a huge bonus! I love it and will never go back to my old machine.
