We start our day with coffee and it has to come quick. I literally timed this machine and in less than a minute you have coffee. The design is very sleek and goes with my stainless steel appliances in my kitchen. Takes very less space in my kitchen too. 
Top marks for style 
Top marks for performance. 
Easy to figure out. The directions make it simple for folks who are new to espresso machines. Just pick a good coffee . If you lick a good coffee it really brews the coffee to perfection! 
Definitely recommend it .
