Hands down best Expresso maker ive ever owned! My husband and I thought our other models were good until we used this one. When it arrived the timing couldn't have been more perfect. My husband was having his employees over that night for a business meeting so we figured what better way to test it out than this? The design is sleek and sophisticated and when functioning it truly makes you think of a professional machine in a smaller package! By the end of the night 2 men had already asked me if they could get the Brand and model number! The expresso comes out perfect (not too strong, not too weak) and the Froth is exceptionally textured and flavored. I have thoroughly enjoyed this machine and wake up every day now excited to learn a new Expresso technique! HIGHLY recommend!!
