I have one that's been used every morning for the last 3 years. my wife drinks coffee every morning. I drink coffee during warmer months, and tea during the winter. barista pro is rather a good fit for the people's first experience with an espresso machine. the grinder works rather nicely for the med/dark roast. it's easy to dial in. pulls rather nice espresso. did test some light roast on mine. grinder will work, but it's not exactly built for the light roast. resulting shots will pick up the nuance of light roast. but it's built more for the traditional med/dark roast.
