    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.

    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.

    Overall a good machine, it heats up really fast and is ready to use within seconds. The steam wand is also ready to use almost immediately and is double insulated so if you touch it by accident it wont burn you. I am still playing with the grind size because sometimes it pours the shot too slow/fast. I am also having trouble with it tamping evenly which defeats the purpose of a built in tamper. But other than that I really like it.

    Good espresso machine so far. It has automatic dose and tamping for your shot so it is very straightforward and minimum extra effort required to get a great espresso shot. Got it in holiday sale period so it was a really good price for the quality of the machine I got.
