peter, 55 - 64, yes
Good value
This machine is easy to use and produces 2 shots of espresso quickly but the depth of flavour is a little lacking so I will change to coffee that is 5 strength instead of the usual 4. The temperature could also be a little hotter for my taste. But overall this is a good value machine.

Would recommend
Had this a few weeks now, my first espresso maker, very happy with it for the price. Great tasting coffee as good as shop bought if used correctly, best with a finely ground bean 🫘, the milk steamer is good, took me a while to figure out how to make different levels of foam but after watching a few vids I'm now a fully qualified barista 👍🏻
Stephen, 35 - 44, Sheffield
Easy to use and keep clean
Quick to set up to make good coffee
Mr bean, 65 or over
Steamer isn’t powerful
Brews okay coffee but milk frofer isn’t very powerful takes a while to get it to squirt steam and not water. I know it is reasonably priced product but there are probably better ones out there if you want a decent milk frofer
Steve
Good machine
I bought this slightly more expensive than Delonghi machine because there were no Delonghis available. It is better than my old Delonghi since it heats up very quickly. It's narrow so takes up less worktop.

Hey Bigcol,
I can advise that this machine makes the espresso and can froth milk. You have to physically add them together to make the drinks listed, it isn't dispensed that way by the machine.
Thanks for using Q&A.
It dispenses a set amount.

Typically, for espresso machines of this size and style, the maximum cup height is usually in the range of 8–11cm, which is suitable for most standard espresso and small coffee cups.
