As someone who's pretty picky about coffee, I know I'm going to need some practice to figure out the perfect espresso and milk combination that fits my taste. That said, I really like this machine so far. The color touchscreen is easy to use and gives it a modern feel, and I love that the milk frother is built right into the machine. It saves me from having another appliance taking up counter space. The espresso machine looks sleek, feels well made, and has everything you need to start making specialty coffee drinks at home. If you're new to espresso like I am, there's definitely a learning curve, but the machine itself has been easy to use.
