Bottom Line: For the money, you can buy a much better machine: i.e. Rancilio Silvia, Gaggia Classic, or a Gaggia Baby (but not Twin)

Bottom Line: If superior shot quality, convenience, and aesthetics are important to you, then this is the machine. If you have dreams of being a latte artist, then look elsewhere.

Bottom Line: The Baby Twin is an all-around great espresso machine packed full of high-tech features; however, what should be its greatest strength may be its greatest weakness, and deprives it of a "perfect 10" score!

Bottom Line: Almost perfect. If I had the choice, I'd have gone with somethingelse, but the Baby Twin turns out to be arguably more regret free choice, since it has everything

Bottom Line: Be prepared to learn how to operate machine. Whole Latte Love is the purveyor of poor customer service and obviously bad expresso machines.
