Directions are step-by-step, so it was easy to understand and set up the coffee machine. Making a cup or double of espresso or coffee is done with the push of a button. Frothing milk is accomplished easily, and so we are enjoying delicious cappuccinos every morning, and iced coffees in the afternoon.
This expresso machine is perfect for me. I did not want to purchase another large and bulky machine and this one is the right size. It is easy to use and looks great in my white kitchen. I specifically wanted a silver machine and am so happy I found this one.
