This machine is worth every penny if you enjoy coffee. My husband and I travel to Europe a lot and they serve excellent coffees and cappuccinos. This machine recreates that European experience in your own home with a touch of a button. The only improvement that I will suggest is the frother needs to be improved because sometimes the milk/froth drips from the edge of the unit while the stream of froth is filling the cup. It's not enough to cause a mess but maybe a tube to direct the froth into the cup would help.
Cons: milk frother
Pros: fantastic coffees with the push of a button, clean up is simple
This is the best coffee/espresso machine. It makes excellent espresso st the convenience of my home. Based on my coffee habit, I'll pay it off in 4 months by not buying my coffee at coffee houses. On the long run, I'll save thousands of dollars.
It's sleek design, ease of use, and quality makes this machine impeccable. I recommend this machine.
