Almost returned it

At first I couldn’t get the frother to foam. Tried multiple types of milk and minimal foam but then I took the pin provided under the water container and cleaned the frother. Amazing how much better it works. Makes me think either it gets clogged during manufacturing or the machine was used. Either way I’m very happy with it now.

My first espresso machine

This is my first espresso machine, I did a lot of research, I'm extremely happy with my purchase, it has everything a beginner and someone experienced would need. It was easy to learn and that was a huge plus for someone new. One thing I didn't care for was the weight, it could be a little heavier as it will slid/slip if you don't hold the machine. I solved this by putting a non-slip mat underneath. I would absolutely buy this product again and recommend it.

I haven’t like it so far

The machine is so light it’s hard to insert or remove the portafilter. Also the programmed settings haven’t been working well at all.

Everything is cool except the forced clean cycle. It will ruin your morning, avoid this machine!!!!!

Ya know, this is a good machine. Makes great shots and steams milk well. It's basic and easy to use. The one thing that is absolutely mind blowing to me is that there's no warning that a clean cycle is coming up and will literally happen to you at 6 AM between your shot and steaming milk leaving you hanging. The clean cycle takes 10-15 minutes. That 10-15 minutes gives my fresh shot plenty of time to go cold. It is by far, the absolute worst design flaw I have ever experienced. This thing is supposed to dose my morning stimulant, that's its only job. Some places on the internet say you can skip it but you absolutely cannot, at least not all of the time. It's bad software that just sucks. I'm about sell mine for nothing and get something else that doesn't have such a ridiculous oversight built in. Whoever thought that it should work this way clearly doesn't drink coffee in the morning. I need the machine to work when I'm going to use it. Forcing a clean cycle is so dumb. Bad engineering and terrible foresight on how your customers will use this machine. I actually used to wake up early just to see if it was going to throw a clean cycle requirement so I could turn the clean cycle on and take a shower to come back to a working machine. That's ridiculous. Don't buy this machine. Make sure their other machines don't do this because it's going to catch you and it'll ruin your morning.
