I enjoyed the color, and the style, as well as how cheap it was, unfortunely, you need a lot of other stuff to make it work, which i did return.

Affordable price, it's very easy to use, the water tray in the bottle is easy to take out and clean, it is a good machine for those who want to start making espresso on their own.

For the price I bought it (about 1/4 the regular price) it is a great single-coffee maker (a double double shot). It is consistent, even if the result isn't nearly as good as what you would get with a more expensive espresso maker.

This machine does a reasonably good job of actually pulling espresso shots. The main issue we had is that the steaming performance is poor. We don't get a strong steady jet of steam, but rather a gurgly and uneven mix of water droplets and puffs of steams that produces bubbly milk rather than steamed milk with microfoam.
The portafilter also feels flimsy, in particular it rattles when you shake it.
Overall, for the price it does a good job making espresso, but I would look elsewhere if you care about making decent steamed milk.

Makes a great cup of expresso, getting it to start up is a little tricky. You have to press the steam button first which is a little odd. But it works.

This is, hands down, the best espresso machine at such an amazing price! I used to work at a Cafe, and the dynamic of this machine is very synonymous to the commercial one we use there, which makes it easier for me to get a rythm going with it. I've owned a couple of other ones before this, and they always fell subpar in one way or another.. mediocre steaming capabilities, gave out quickly, etc. None of that with this! Not to mention, i love that it has a water well, much like a keurig. It makes it quick and convenient to make a speedy latte before work :) 12/10, highly recommend!

Nice for home. Good enough for lattes, espressos, and warming up milk for hot chocolate, i had a previous espresso maker before so getting this up and running was a breeze.
