Solid construction, looks great on counter, easy to clean, heats quickly, wonderful results all the time.
Negative Product Points
A water level indicator is the only thing I want to be different.
Detailed Commentary
We travel and enjoy the wonderful espresso and coffee in Europe. Now we have it at home. This is our first machine. It does take a few minutes to learn, but makes a terrific espresso with minimum effort once you do so.
Cost of $395 was in afforable range. Instructions from supplier (Whole Latte Love) was adequate for making coffee. Reviewed Coffee Kids recipe as well.
Would definitely buy another or recommend it to a friend.
