This product far exceeded my expectations. Even though it is a little on the loud side it is extremely well built, and easy to use, and it produces high quality espresso drinks.
Out of the box, the machine was very easy to prepare for first use. I was impressed with the large variety of features offered.  Once I read the manual and got familiar with the features, I started preparing my  beverage. It was very  straightforward and a simple process. It was also very easy to clean up . I definitely recommend trying it.
