So I am a newbie to the express world at home.  I did soooo much research on trying to find the right one that wouldn't be time consuming and overwhelming to use.  I narrowed it down to wanting automatic for the ease and convenience of being able to have espresso at home!  There were just too many options to choose from!  I somehow stumbled across this one about a month ago and it is everything I had hoped for! So easy to use, self explanatory and gives great tasting espresso!  I highly recommend this one!
