Detailed Commentary
Great machine for $379. I‘m a professional Barista (own an espresso business) and wanted a quality machine for home use. This unit not as powerful as my $6000 commerical unit but for a home unit, WOW. Tamp your espresso in your portafilter tight because this machine has a dynamite pump.
Steaming milk, 30-40 seconds and 160 deg F!
