Advantages: Great espressos and regular filter coffee Disadvantages: Espressos sometimes are not hot enough
...to produce good espressos, that's the challenge! But it succeeds!
The only thing not perfect is their temperature, especially the first ones, they may get only warm, not really hot as I love. This way, I recommend you to pre-heat all the accessories, and you can easily do it on the machine itself. Putting the empty filter and the cups as if you were making a coffee, you'll warm the cups enough to make the first coffees with the right temperature.
Another good thing, it makes 2 espressos at a time!
Of course, if you stick to the basics, you'll get good coffee, but you'll be missing most of the machine capacities.

This compact machine has an auto-cappuccino steaming arm with a stainless steel milk container. The easy to use touch and turn dial makes things extra simple (useful when its one of those mornings) and the programmable LCD graphic...

But like me, most of us don't want to have 2 different coffee machines in our kitchen, whether because there is no room, or because there is no comprehension from the wife/husband. In my personal... more
Very easy to use, value for money (at time of writing 300 GBP cheaper on rebelio.co.uk than anywhere else).
