I absolutely love this espresso machine! I honestly don't know why I haven't got one earlier. the quality of the coffee is unmatched, and I seriously think that this will make any coffee bean taste good. This is worth the money to spend especially if you are a coffee fan and you have been working from home and you want a professional tasting coffee. I seriously don't  think I will be heading to a coffee shop as often/
my only advice is that you learn as much as you can, read the material  that is sent with it, watch youtube videos, make sure you understand how to use it correctly before engaging.  I would have given it five stars but I left out a star because of the user friendliness. it is very intimidating even after, but after some practice, it will be the best thing ever.
