Here's my honest take: Design and Build - It looks sleek and modern on my countertop - It's got a sturdy build, but it's not too heavy to move around - The plastic and stainless steel combo feels durable Performance - It's easy to use, even for a coffee newbie like me - The espresso it produces is rich and full-bodied, with a beautiful crema - The steam wand can be a bit finicky, but it gets the job done - My only real complaint is that it can be pretty loud when steaming milk Pros: - Easy to use - Makes amazing espresso - Looks great on my countertop Cons: - Can be a bit noisy - Steam wand can be tricky to use If you're looking for a reliable and easy-to-use espresso machine that produces top-notch coffee, this is a great choice. It's worth the investment if you're a coffee lover like me!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine makes the BEST espresso I've ever had at home. I used to be an avid user of another espresso machine brand, but after trying this I won't be going back. The espresso is so smooth and tasty.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will be completely honest when I first pulled this out of the box I was kind of overwhelmed by how fancy it was. The espresso machine comes with four different filters and once I understood and read the instructions, I was ready to start. The heating time on the water was less than a minute and it brewed a perfect double shot of espresso within 30 seconds. I haven't used the frother yet but I am excited to steam milk and add it to my coffee. This is going to save me so much money going out for coffee and I am sure I will get more creative with my coffee creations!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are a coffee/espresso-loving family and this makes brewing your own espresso at home SO EASY. I've always been intimidated by espresso machines, but this makes it as easy as a pod machine or brewing a pot of coffee with a traditional coffee machine. We've even opted to just make espresso instead of our typical morning pot of coffee now because it's fresher and easier! It heats up and brews so fast, so there's very little waiting for that morning caffeine hit! Love the steaming wand for times I want to add a little steamed milk. The machine is easy to operate, easy to clean and looks nice on the counter. You can tell it's high quality, it feels sturdy and substantial. Highly recommended for espresso lovers!

Doesn't take too much space, easy to clean and maintain. I love this machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great espresso machine. The cups are deep, and the unit heats up instantly, which saves a couple minutes. The steam option is great and works well. I am looking forward to seeing how this model holds up after daily use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is so easy to use, set up, and really pulls a great espresso shot. I've made a few lattes with it now and there really isn't a learning curve. I can't attest to its durability as I've only had it for about a week now but will update if anything changes. Really loving my new machine! Update: taking away a star because the start button rarely works. I have to push it over and over before the machine starts pulling the espresso. Not a huge deal but it is annoying

you can't tweak the amount of espresso that is made; the machine makes the shots automatically. And even though I selected the hottest water temp, the espresso is not very hot at all
