I have this machine in action. First, it annoys me that the picture gives the impression that any problem "layered" coffee with milk can be made. going but only manually. Bit by bit. The machine is high quality and quiet. Operation is quick to learn, but more complicated than necessary. The water tank is large as the coffee grounds container. The machine heats up quickly. The coffee is hot. The dosage is easy. The cleaning is ok. All parts are well made. Already would be a water level indicator.
