Great manual machine for beginners
This was an Anniversary gift for my coffee-loving husband who enjoys a good fresh brew. It was his first espresso machine and from doing a lot of research, it is perfect for beginners. It can take some time getting familiar with all of the parts and learning about how to froth but it didn't take long before he was brewing a great cup of espresso. Now he makes specialty coffee drinks all the time. I also purchased a burr conical grinder after talking to friends and more research. It wasn't expensive and works wonderfully to get the right grind of beans. We haven't had any issues with leaking or anything else. The machine fits nicely on our countertop and I personally don't think it's loud. The frothing makes quite a bit of noise but worth it. Read more
