I purchased this machine to break my habit of buying coffee on my way to work, and I’m happy to say it has been a success. Since getting it, I’ve only stopped by a coffee shop a handful of times. Now, I make my coffee at home every morning and take it with me. The machine produces fantastic coffee and espresso, and my personal favorite is a double Americano.
That said, there are a couple of minor drawbacks. The water reservoir is quite small, and the design of the bean feeder could be improved. After making several cups, I often have to manually push beans down into the grinder. A hopper design would have been a better choice than the current tray setup.
Overall, this has been an excellent purchase, and I don’t regret it one bit.
