This machine is a pleasure every day. It allows to make small or very large cafes in small or large cups ... unlike other machines. What a pleasure to choose his coffee at the roaster. The steam nozzle is really great. Very convenient to make latte and cappuccino with a beautiful mouse milk. The machine makes a noise when the grain is ground but it is a fast operation. The water pump also makes noise, comparable to the noise of a phillips pellets machine. You should know that this type of machine makes noise but that's the price to pay for a coffee with a machine at this price. It is very easy to clean and requires little maintenance. The black version is very beautiful but also quite messy. Fingerprints and splashes are seen very strong.
