Not quite what I was expecting
3/5
I am a barista, therefore I was very excited to receive this product and make barista style coffee from home. It looks absolutely beautiful, however due to the small size, it is quite complicated to use, especially when wanting to make coffee one after the other. You also have to stop the espresso from running yourself, rather than it just stopping itself, which has lead to some weaker coffee- which wasn't mentioned in the description of the product. The steaming wand is also extremely short, which makes it very difficult to steam milk with little foam and has lead to me having to put more milk in a jug just so that the steamer reaches the milk- leading to waste. Overall the product looks good and makes a decent coffee, but very fiddly and difficult to use.
