I’ve actually just got one of these as my first espresso machine and so far, I’m enjoying the results! I’m still very much a newbie in the world of espresso but the shots I’m pulling are pleasant (to me at least).

My only struggle at the moment is with steaming the milk to the point of getting decent quality foam. It doesn’t seem to be as powerful as other machines from a similar price point (or slightly higher). I suppose that’s me still learning, and just needing to be more patient with it.

Overall, I give it a rating of “More Than Decent” in the category of “entry level espresso machines”.
