This is my first espresso machine. While using it is fairly straightforward, there is a bit of a learning curve for properly using the steam feature. I’m a novice, so that may only apply to me and possibly other novices. I wish the steam would’ve been available at the half mark on the dial to avoid the possibility of releasing too much water, but if you do a half turn quickly, that’s not an issue. I figured it out after the 3rd attempt. That said, I still know a good espresso and the final result from this machine is tasty and perfect for me. The gauge tells me when my pull is suitable and that feature is working well. The size of the machine is great, as it doesn’t require much counter space and has enough clearance between it and my cabinet, leaving space to place a mug on the warming plate.
I spent hours researching and reading reviews for several machines and am glad I chose this one. It’s a great value for the price paid. The drinks I’ve made since receiving it have been better than any I’ve purchased, so it’s already paying off and saving money.
Tip: Purchase a puck screen, as it seems they help minimize espresso buildup on the machine.
