This espresso maker not only makes quality espresso drinks but other hot beverages as well including regular coffee.  The drinks are better quality than I can even get from a coffee shop because I can make the drinks exactly how I like them.  The device does everything for you from grinding the beans to frothing the drink.  My favorite setting to use is the cappuccino setting.  The design is sleek and modern.  The stainless steel does show fingerprints and needs to be wiped down frequently. All the settings on the machine are easy to understand.   The This appliance is very heavy and not easy to move from place to place in the kitchen.  It also takes up a large amount of space.  Overall if you like fun coffee drinks like I do you will thoroughly enjoy having this machine in your home. It truly makes for a fun experience.
