Very friendly, easy to use. Easy to clean . Makes great coffee. Thank you

Amazing machine!! Being a coffee enthusiast, who has nespresso machines even the vertuo one, this one is at another level! The taste of fresh ground coffee can not be measured! It will take some time to set it up and try all coffee strength experimentations till you save the best one but youtube has a lot of videos to help!! Amazing one really! Biggest problem is that you will start drinking a lot of coffee! More than you usually do!

The overall usuage of the machine is decent, it has many drinks to choose from, all milk-free drinks are just perfect, you just need to tune the grinder, shot length and strength, but, keep in mind all milk-based drinks are not as good as the ones you get from a professional coffee machine at a coffee shop. The milk is heated with a lot of bubbles, it makes normal foam on top of your drink, NOT steamed microfoam, so you get a more watery drink with frothen foam on top but not integrated well. If you expect perfect Capuchino or Latte machiato from this machine, then i i'm sorry to tell you its not the best option, which indeed what i was looking for unfortunately, i rate it 2 for losing more money to buy a separate microfoam maker to get a good drink while i paid already for an automatic machine to avoid this. If you are only looking for good pure espresso based drinks, then its perfect for you.

Over a year of owning this machine and it’s still works perfectly, we love it. It’s makes a very good cup of coffee consistently. No issues at all. Cleaning is easy, just be sure to follow the manufacturer’s advice on scheduled cleaning and it should great work for many years.

Pros: 1- very well designed and elegant. 2- coffee taste is very good. 3- grinder is excellent and could be tuned to determine grind softness. 4- compare to other machines, it saves lot of coffee beans, it grinds not much per shot. 5- ability to make coffee from coffee powder, it’s not limited to only coffee beans. 6- ability to control cup size and amount of coffee 7- easy to clean. 8- water tank is easy to be taken aside and refilled. 9- self cleaning is automatic and working great, giving you fresh and aromatic taste each use. 10- ability to select single or double shot. 11- ability to select 1 or 2 cups of espresso. 12- coffee beans tank has good sealing ———— Cons: 1- it doesn’t alert when it does self cleaning, it does self cleaning twice, one once it’s powered on, and once it’s powered off, you need to get used to this, or it will fill your cup with cleaning water. 2- milk Frothing is not working ok, even the steam looks ok, but the resulted milk froth is not good at all. 3- touch sensitivity of the buttons is not up to the expectations. 4- coffee beans tank is so flat, making the process hard so you would drop coffee beans around during filling, add to that its capacity is small compared to other machines in the same price range.

Good high quality machine, been using it for over a year and a half and works smoothly, you must take care of its cleanliness and maintenance to keep it working properly. Recommended! The most good practice for me is that the double shot coffee is really double! It prepares two separate shots

Fantastic

2 years of use, the price went down to 50% and the machine is almost dead, you need to make the coffee 3 times to get it right otherwise you get washing water, the milk frother is leaking and replaced twice with no improvement. The machine get regular cleaning as per the manual but it's not reliable at all, it made me hate it. That was the worst investment I ever did in home appliance.
