Coffee excellent, 2 "Italian" cups as promised. It is normal for a little water left in the tank to avoid overheating, as specified in the instruction manual. No steam on the handle, unless you fire heats very lively, for which the coffee machine is not designed: to get a good coffee, not water must be heated to very low heat (Level 3), it takes more time but the coffee is comparable to the bar. Compatible induction and dishwasher.
