Our Customer Experienes
Everything we expected and more

Have owned it for almost a month. Makes great expresso, capuccino, and coffee at the touch of the screen. Easy cleanup, no fuss. Adjustable settings are a great feature. Refilling water tank and removing spent grounds are very easy.

Pays for itself by not paying at the coffee stores in 1-2 years.
