    I hesitated putting out the money for a home espresso machine worried that it wouldn't make a good cup. Boy was I wrong. I should have done it years ago. This machine is clean, works well and makes a great Americano, latte, etc. Cleanup is easy and the razor accessory comes in handy for a lot of things. My favorite move is to partially press the coffee down as it grinds so the grinds don't overflow. The grinder is quick and accurate. Much better than grinding separately and filling the portafilter on your own. I am probably going to buy a second portafilter so I can keep the single shot and double shots installed at all times. It would also be nice to have a second bean hopper so I could switch to decaf at night but that would cost more and would probably have taken it out of my price range.

    I have had this machine for 3 weeks and I am still learning the many aspects of it’s use. Coming from using a Ninja pod machine which was quick and easy there is definitely a learning curve and time investment. Coffee flavor is improved. I am still struggling with the steam wand and getting a micrfoam result. Milk is coming out flat and not foamy. I have cleaned the wand several times and still poor results. I will be contacting the manufacturer to find out what I am doing wrong . I have used a steam wand on a prior less expensive machine with much better results. This is the only issue I have had to date. I will update this review in a couple of months once I have more time to use the machine.

    Loving this espresso machince! There was some user error with the first couple of uses but the directions are specific and easy to follow making it a stress free experience. I am obsesssd with the quailty of the shot, the ease of use, and the swift processing. My only complaints is that theres no warning for the water level on the tank, and the bouyant meter for the water accumlater never seems to float depsite how full it gets.

    Perfect espresso machine for the home. Take the time to watch setup videos on youtube to learn how to weigh, and program your machine to pull the best shots. Once you do that you'll be making great coffee drinks for you and all your family and friends.

    Bought it as a gift for my espresso loving boyfriend. Worth every penny. Pros: bean hopper, easy to use, looks great Cons: nothing. You just have to play around with it to get used to the correct pressure when packing the coffee grounds in the handle to get to the ideal espresso making range. They say to pack it 30-40 lbs of pressure but you can easily too hard. Comes with time and use. Perfect for everyday use but you can easily run a small coffee shop with it.

    I have no complaints on this machine, I’m very satisfied with it and I highly recommend it. If you are new to espresso, like I am, I just advice you to watch videos on dialing your machine for the perfect espresso, this is what takes time, but there is plenty of information online. If you don’t have the patience or desire to learn, then I suggest you stick to a regular coffee maker or French press. The other thing is to try different coffees, I believe not all coffees are good for espresso. I’m learning how to do cappuccino and it’s a bit more advance, it’s just technique you need to get right with steaming the milk, but this machine has it all. My go to coffee right now is Americano, I like to drink a lot of coffee, so you have many options, even cocktails like the Espresso Martini. Enjoy
