    it was better to have a larger water tank since you may have to refill it once a week for normal use (one coffee per day).

    It took a bit to get the hang of it but it's fun to use. It's easy to use to make a good cappuccino.

    If I could give less stars than 1 I would!! This store must have awful management like 99% of all Best Buy’s l, but this one tops the cake in all of my experiences. I purchased this item as a Birthday present for my wife and I was excited to give her a brand new espresso machine, at least it was SUPPOSED to be brand new!! When we opened it and started putting it together we noticed there was water in the container. Then we noticed there was still residue of coffee in the trays AND the filter was already installed and wet. I paid for A BRAND NEW machine and that is not what I got. I will NEVER buy from this location and I’ve sworn off this company before but I thought I’d give them another chance and yet again, it was a huge mistake and disappointment. I’m even a TTS member but I will be canceling that now as I will never buy from this company again!

    My machine worked great for a little over a year. Now it's leaking and doesn't get up to pressure! I have no money to fix this expensive piece of crap! Please don't waste your money! They're built to break after the warranty runs out!

    This machine was too complicated to use, had to return it. Unless you are ready to weight your coffee every time you going to make yourself a cup, don’t buy this one
