I was really hoping for more out of this espresso maker, but I was sadly disappointed. The price is decent, but the quality is not. I can't even say that this makes espresso as it doesn't even taste the same. I like a lot of features of it, which is why I bought it, but it wasn't what I had hoped for. Brew Performance Easy to brew. Comes with a booklet that tells you what all the parts are used for and has directions showing how to make espresso, latte, iced drinks, and cappuccino. Ease of Cleaning Very hard to clean the froth nozzle and cover. Seems like once you use it, it is almost impossible to get it completely clean, but it doesn't clog. Other parts can be hand washed. Ease of Use Very easy to use if you read the booklet that comes with it. Without instructions, it would be really hard to figure it out if you're not familiar with espresso makers. Design This ironically has a really great design. It has accessories for brewing 2 cups or just one as well as having a removable water reservoir, cup rest, and drip tray. It has temperature selection for frothing or steaming and it has a steam control dial.
