The GE Profile automatic espresso machine is a dream come true. This was an upgrade from a pod based espresso machine. I really enjoy iced lattes in a large cup that will last throughout my morning, so I would end up using 2-3 pods, which became VERY expensive. The GE Profile Automatic Espresso machine is actually saving me money by only needing espresso beans and the end result is a much more satisfying brew! It looks gorgeous on my countertop. The touch menu and lit controls are very sleek and modern looking. It’s very easy to clean. This is an outstanding machine and I’d recommend it for sure!
