Great coffee and love the self cleaning wand. Have had to reset unit a couple of times because the flow for 1 and 2 cups doesn't stop. I hope that this doesn't continue because we enjoy the coffee and fairly simple operation.
Makes a great espresso. Love the option for single or double shot as well as the frother. Unit is small, which helps keep the counter neat however the is light weight which makes it more difficult to swap out the grounds. You really to grip the unit to twist it out. That would be the only negative I have to say about the machine.
This espresso machine is so easy to use and has many really high-quality features. For example, the steam wand has an automatic cleaning function at the end of steaming milk to prevent it from clogging. The control panel is very user friendly. Additionally, I have a Breville coffee grinder that has an adapter to accept the portafilter, as well as an easily removable hopper for the beans. This makes it a breeze to make my favorite espresso drink every day with freshly ground coffee; caffeinated or decaf; any kind of milk. Additionally, as I have a small kitchen, the footprint of both fit well on my limited counter space. Since everyone has issues with counter space no matter what size kitchen, having such a flexible and high quality espresso station with a small footprint can be a real plus in any kitchen.
