Good handy design also fit well in each smaller kitchen .. After a few days test runs you get the hang of and there is espresso in Italy quality. My experiences - good espresso grade coffee, grinding degree 1-2, quantity for 2 cups, then in the deeper filter - well einstampfen- enclosed plastic masher which not recommended, should severe Being part stomp stomp (some coffee, again stomp some coffee, again .. ...) brings best strong esspressi :) After a cooling down and cleaning is a breeze and done quickly ...
So really a low-cost machine with good quality, also have a Nespresso machine which also tastes good, only if you like really sometimes strong espresso, which is with this Kenwood already on the right track!
