I’ve been using this amazing fully automatic espresso/latte/coffee machine for several weeks now, making one delicious cup of coffee or cappuccino after another for myself and family members that tastes as good (actually better) than anything I’ve had from Starbucks or other retail coffee shops, and all with very little effort, and 99% consistency. Even though I haven’t changed the beans or water supply that I’ve been using with my old machine, the difference in flavor is a huge improvement over my 5 year old Keurig coffee maker. I don’t know how they do it, but they do it well.
This coffee machine is beautiful, superbly designed in form and function, and super versatile. It looks great on my kitchen counter and makes me want to break out my barista apron when my family members are watching me prepare their delicious beverages. I think I’ll be getting a tip jar soon, hehe.
Kidding aside, this machine is a joy to use and very easy to use once you get past the short learning curve. The buttons are well laid out, thoughtful of function and a joy to use. You can start with a number of preset beverage choices and customize them to suit your tastes. Once you’ve nailed your preferences down, you can save them to your Favorites for quick and easy reuse.
The choice of beverages are plentiful, ranging from milk/cream-based coffees, to basic coffees, to warm milk, foam milk, and even just hot water.
In summary, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this coffee machine. If you can afford such a luxury, then by all means, treat yourself or a friend to it. Or, if you own a business, get one for the office and you’ll be as popular as a rock star!
