This is Espresso Machine is easily my new favorite kitchen appliance!  I love the convenience of Espessos at home and it's helping to save me money by cutting back on my Starbucks runs.  I just love the built-in frother for making a delicious, creamy lattes and cappuccinos.  My wife loves the easy hot water dispenser for making teas too. I thought that the app was going to be a gimmick, but it's super handy for customizing drink settings.  It's easy to change the duration of the grind, the temperature, the amount of water and the size of the grounds – The finer the grind, the stronger the drink.  I personally think that the crema is just right at the smallest ground size and think the machine does a good job extracting the flavor from the beans without overdoing it and becoming bitter.  The grinder itself is quiet enough for me and doesn't wake up the rest of the house.  Overall, I couldn't be happier with my Espresso machine!
