Bottom Line: First machine & probably last machine I'll ever have to buy. If you're on the fence, spend your money now on this machine, and you will thank yourself later.

Bottom Line: Yeah Baby! This is an espresso machine Ferrari, with performance to match spectacular looks. But unlike a Ferrari it's also value for money.
