About a month ago, I decided to treat myself and bought this espresso machine. Before this, I’d never owned one—I was one of those people who relied on cafes for my daily caffeine fix. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect since I had zero experience making espresso at home. But when the machine arrived, I was instantly impressed. The packaging was neat and secure, and inside, I found a quick-start guide that felt like it was written just for beginners like me. It walked me through the setup so easily that within 5 minutes, I was pulling my very first shot of espresso.I used some fresh coffee beans, and wow—the aroma filled my kitchen like I’d stepped into a cozy little cafe. I couldn’t believe I had actually made it myself!Fast forward to now, a month later, and making coffee has become one of my favorite parts of the day. Every morning, I look forward to grinding fresh beans, steaming milk for a latte, or just enjoying a pure shot of espresso. The machine hasn’t given me a single issue—it’s reliable, easy to clean, and the steam wand is an absolute dream for frothing milk. I even feel like a bit of a barista now.This machine is so user-friendly, and the results are seriously impressive. It’s brought so much joy (and delicious coffee) into my life, and I’d 100% recommend it to anyone wanting to take that first step into home espresso-making!
