    The coffee looks and tastes just like the one you can buy from the coffee shop. Be sure to read the documentation, it is a bit more complicated to use than just pressing a button.

    Great Machine, I love how we can do ice coffee and espresso. Holds a good amount of beans so less refilling. My husband uses it daily- fresh & delicious every time. A bit more than I wanted to spend but is worth it- Machine has held up great.

    This is my second one. It works great. Brews much hotter than my first one. It works a little differently, so taking some time to get it all figured out.

    Love this machine! Has the perfect grind and the perfect amount of pressure build up to make the smoothest, most luscious shots of coffee. Very sturdy and quite the morning game changer. Take the time to learn the buttons and lights, it’ll make all the difference. It does have a little bit of a learning curve if you’re new to espresso machines so learning it and skimming the manual helps a lot. Would recommend to coffee lovers.

    1st off I like it! It makes breat espresso and does this consistently. My only knock is the ease of use, but given this is a manual machine it has a learning curb to it. I would recommend to watch a view setup videos and some barista videos so you can learn what good espresso is lol unless you're not a novice . But in my opinion this one works better than the Breville. De'Longhi has step up there game.
