So happy with the performance of this coffee machine. I rarely go out to get coffee after I started preparing espresso at home. The taste is perfect. The coffee comes out better than coffee shops. The machine itself is user friendly and Amos so aesthetically pleasing. The look is so expensive but I tell you the coffee is even better. I love the fact that you can choose how fine or coarse you want to grind the coffee beans. The frother is an additional advantage in the machine. Highly recommend it.
