I wanted an espresso machine at a lower cost; so I bought it; Do not worry about the first 2-3 cafes that are average, it is necessary for the coffee starts to make a good coffee; by cons it is logical enough to avoid cafes poor or based robusta; personally I use the Jacques Vabre Kitale and Bahia 100% Arabica coffees that give a delicious espresso. I recommend this coffee maker min price maximum pleasure.
