Great for beginners who are wanting good espresso coffee at home. If you're more experienced and wanting a more manual experience, I'd go for a different machine.

A wonderful little machine that allows you a chance to learn barista skills slowly and carefully. Amazing

Bought this for myself as fed up of rubbish flat whites. I am very new to making coffee and it is so simple. Auto milk frothing is impossible to get wrong. I had to change the amount on double shot as the preset was hardly even a shot of expresso never mind two but is easily done using YouTube videos and the machine remembers the setting thereafter. Very happy with it. Also has a function for hot water to fill up for Americans. Again check YouTube guides for these secret buttons.

Makes good coffee. Not as easy to use as previously owned Smeg espresso machine. However, looks sleek and hands free cappuccino owing to thermonregulator for milk.

Easy to set up and use, able to get good espresso and steamed milk even as a novice when it comes to home espresso. Good value for money

For the price this is an ideal product to add a grinder to and have an automated set up for less than half the price of the Sages bigger brother all in one machines . I’d highly recommend it.
