Wow! Let me start off by saying this thing is huge. But I absolutely love it. It took me several tries and rereading the instructions many times to get the hang of this machine but now I got the hang of it. I love that there is a grinder built it. I love the built in tapper the best because i don’t have to worry about over or under tapping the coffee grounds. Also any mess from the grinder or tapper is caught in the tray for very easy clean up. In about 5 minutes I have have a great cup or homemade espresso. This machine is great!!
