Amazing addition to my morning... with a caveat
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once I got this "dialed in" (and it took some work/play) I've been pulling some amazing, super flavorful shots of espresso. And making some really great lattes, and mochas and... I guess you get the point. But don't buy this expecting to pull it out of the box and make a perfect shot on the first pull. You have to tune your grind level, your amount of coffee ground in to the portafilter, how long you let it go... There's a lot of great stuff on YouTube for this specific model in terms of how to pull the best shot, and with a little practice, I have at least one or two great doubleshots every morning.

Gourmet coffee at home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This machine is an incredible combo. The grinder is excellent and allows for precise grind adjustments. And it either dispenses a pre-measured amount or a manually controlled amount. The steamer works great. Hot water dispenser is just as I would expect. And most importantly, the espresso maker delivers delicious shots. Quality of all parts is excellent. It's an attractive appliance that fits well into my kitchen. My only concern is the knob that switches between steam and hot water takes some effort to move and I won't be surprised if it fails over time. But over one month of daily use, I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase.

Can't Sleep
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my wife this Christmas. She was a barista many moons ago and loves using it. The only downfall is our caffeine addiction has gone through the roof. I could barely type this review I am shaking so bad. Kinda like a Chihuahua. If you are thinking of getting one just put it in the cart and go. You won't be disappointed. No I am not being paid by Best Buy to say this, but if the CEO sees this I am open to the idea ;)

Best purchase for my kitchen!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently came back from a trip to Italy and I fell in love with the espressos and coffee there so I realized I could have some back home. I always thought it is difficult to make espressos but there are plenty of youtube videos which makes it easier. The product is great quality and loves amazing in our kitchen. Absolutely recommend to anyone who likes coffee.

Incredible Machine
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been buying espresso drinks for decades and it got to the point where getting a properly made drink from the major coffee bars was a crap shoot. The final straw was being charged an extra $1.75 for oat milk and 50 cents for a spritz of whipped cream from my local cafes. I then went on a search for my own espresso machine and my research led me to this one. I could not be happier. I read the manual and within a few minutes I was making high quality espresso with a rich crema. It does not have a double boiler, so you can’t make espresso and steam milk simultaneously (but how many people really do that?). But when switched to steam, it works great. It is a high quality, uncomplicated machine which I couldn’t recommend more.

Excellent Espresso Machine
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Keeping this part short, I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to making espresso. But all I had to do was watch a quick YouTube video on setting it up, and next thing I knew I was pouring shots. Of course also depends on what beans you buy, and if you prepare the coffee puck properly, but this machine really helps create some phenomenal espresso. Especially for someone that is coming from instant coffee and Starbucks. It is a big difference.

Excellent!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this machine! Major upgrade from the one we had. Makes delicious espresso, we even like them better than Starbucks coffee. Very practical and easy to use. To my surprise upon registering the product we received a box full of accessories, mugs, scale, espresso glass shots, all the works to get us going. Definitely worth the investment.

Good overall machine
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good product but took a little bit to learn how to use properly. This machine allows you to grind beans, make espresso and steam the milk all in one. Overall glad we got it and took the time to learn.
