I Love a good cup of espresso and i found just the right machine to give me that. The Kitchen Aid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine is wonderful! It has dual smart temperature sensors that give you the best tasting espresso. Set up was pretty easy and only took me a few times to get the hang of it. I love the portafilter for easy tampering. The steam wand makes great lattes and cappuccinos very easily. This machine looks great in my kitchen and i really enjoy using it!
