This machine is well thought out. I want it to compete with much more expensive cars. The design of the steam tube makes it very easy to clean and has room for a pin to remove the hole when it is clogged. It didn't clog mine, but it's nice to have there so you don't lose it. The steamer also worked very well. The foam on my latte lasted the whole cup. I got it up to 145F. I had to play around with the bean grind, the manual says medium grind, but I had to grind really hard to get a good froth on the shot. As with any of these machines and grinders, you'll need to fiddle with your machines to get what you want. I also love how it lets you know when the water is too hot to make another shot because you're just using the steamer. It will alert you once the temperature gets lower. If you're using a warmer plate on it I would recommend turning it on beforehand as it won't be warm enough if you're just making a coffee. One thing I would pay to change is that the tamper is steel instead of plastic. I don't know if it really matters or not as I haven't had any issues with it. Just be more confident that it won't break if it's made of steel.
