I wanted a reasonably priced espresso coffee maker and effective: it is this one. For less than 60 euros, it makes an excellent espresso with foam provided you have good ground coffee of course knowing that I consume 3 to 4 cups a day (for me: he Lavazza espresso or perfecto planter espresso tropics are best). It heats up quickly in less than 2 minutes, the stop is manual dosing and can choose between long or short coffee remains relatively quiet and does not vibrate (the cup remains in its place), takes up little space, is easily cleaned . Only negative in my opinion, the quality of materials but it remains to be seen over time. I am very happy with this purchase.
