Espresso tastes great but having issues steaming milk.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This machine is perfect for our family! We aren't baristas by any means, but we are able to whip up both hot and cold coffee beverages to keep us out of Starbucks! Love it compact style and produces a great flavored espresso :)
This is a beautiful coffee machine! Perfectly small for my small kitchen. Quiet. Coffee is so fragrant and tasty. Nice creama. I was missing this quality coffee for too long. My pistachio color dedica is also esthetically pleasing itself
I love the first machine I purchased a few years ago and love the second one as well. The first one still works great and placing it our travel trailer so I don't to drink regular drip coffee... I LOVE ESPRESSO!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this espresso maker in exchange for my honest review. I’ve used it about a month now. Easy to set up and figure out the controls. My espresso comes out great! Love that there is an option for one or two shots. However, it malfunctions and won’t let me click buttons from time to time resulting in me not being able to have coffee which is annoying. Also, the milk frother does not work. But I enjoy the espresso side. Haven’t tried cold brew option yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brewing performance is 10/10. I like that it has a few coffee options. I’m a fan of iced coffee, so the cold brew button is my favourite feature. It is compact and stylish.
