I have had it for over a year and a half, and it is one of the best investments I have made. The truth is that to use it at 100% capacity, you need to have some basic knowledge in coffee production, but it is very easy to learn how to operate and adjust it.

Now, someone who drinks 2 coffees a day needs about 135-150 euros a month just for coffee.

By purchasing the above machine and consuming about 1 kilogram of coffee a month (~35 euros in the market), they reduce their monthly expenses by 100 euros, and in about 7-8 months, they have recouped the cost of the machine.

I obviously recommend it without reservation, but only for people who consume a lot of coffee.

After 8 months of use, I have the best impression of this particular machine.
It heats up in a few seconds from activation, and if you experiment with the various settings it offers and use high-quality coffee beans, the result it gives is comparable to a very good coffee from a store!
Its price is not low, but it literally worth every euro it costs based on construction quality and results!

It's worth every euro.. if you know how to use it, you won't drink from any other café. The main difference with the barista express is only the LED screen and the fact that in 3 seconds you have hot water as it has a different resistance. It takes some experimentation with the amount of coffee to grind and the amount to be cut, especially at the beginning and if you constantly change blends. If you're too lazy to deal with such things, just get a capsule machine but you'll lose quality.
