Review on Espressione Stainless Steel Espresso Machine: Sophisticated, High-Quality 1.5 L Brewing Power by Matthew Owens

I bought this machine for everyday use when I needed to replace my Krupp screw cap espresso maker which I have had for about 20 years. Having used Espressione for a few weeks I would say that it is easy to use and makes good espresso, latte, cappuccino - whatever your desires and barista skill level. This machine cost more than I wanted to spend, but I like its features. Definitely more versatile than my old car. Will it last as long as my old car? I have no idea. I'm sure if I save money on use and stop at coffee shops less often it will last long enough to pay for itself. I don't like that it's big; takes up a lot of counter space compared to my old machine. But that's mostly due to the water tank, which I like, so it's a compromise. The water level is clearly visible and the tank is easily accessible. The instruction manual is well written.
