The La Specialista Prestigio Espresso Machine is an absolutely amazing machine! We now make better lattes at home than we can buy at a coffee shop! It took a bit of setup and learning, but from there it became very easy to operate. I love that you have options on the grinder and coarseness of beans. I love that the frother is part of the machine - works wonderfully! And, I love that you can make an espresso, americano, or latte at the turn of the knob. It is also absolutely gorgeous on our countertop! Such a high-quality product. Though it is pricey, it is well worth it to have great coffee at home anytime. This actually might be my most favorite thing I own! I would HIGHLY recommend this to all my coffee lovers!!
