I had the Espresso machine for a week now. I love the fact that it grinds, and empties the coffee grounds itself. It's a perfect combination for someone who is always on the GO and appreciates a good coffee. The spout is pretty tall even for a tumbler to fill. rother works perfectly and fast creating nice thick foam. The water tray and coffee grounds tray are easily accessible. Right from the bat, I was able to make double espressos. You also have an option to make regular coffee, americano, long, and iced coffee. You can also adjust the intensity of the roast. I only would wish that the whole set would be a bit more elegant. It's quite boxy and I wish it would have more of a stainless steel look. A digital screen would be a nice option too. Overall perfect all-in-one espresso machine especially for a busy person.
