★★☆☆☆
Disappointed
I ended up returning this a couple weeks after use. The machine does make good tasting espresso, but the other flaws were just too much to ignore. First of all, getting the portafilter in and out is extremely difficult and takes a ton of force. But, the main reason I sent it back is that the steam pressure was so strong it did not produce a proper foam. I have been a barista before and I know what I’m doing - this was a flaw with the machine. So, if you want no-foam lattes only it’s fine. Otherwise, I would not recommend it.
