The Dedica Arte is a perfect size for any countertop. It looks great with my other small appliances and does not take up too much space. I love that I can make an easy espresso martini or a latte in the morning. The Dedica Arte has only a few buttons so it is pretty simple to operate once you read the instructions. I really enjoy that there is a milk frother on the side and that it came with everything you need to make different size cups of espresso. I have been using this machine daily if not multiple times a day!
