It's easily one of the best features for the uninitiated or lazy like myself.

Commenters are correct though, real espresso at home is a hobby which takes time. If you don't enjoy the nuances then these are the best you can get outside a cafe.
And these can't produce real espresso. What this machine calls espresso is just strong coffee. Coarse grind, only 5 bar pressure, 4:1 water to coffee ratio.

I think for most people this automatic is superb for a decent espresso based drink.

I always set bean quality to max and water lowest.
I couldn't figure out which way was 1 and which was 12 until i looked at the spent beans and i would say i have the grind setting on 3/4.
What do you mean temple at max?

Seems like the CB is in question?

FWIW, sample size one, I can get within ~10% of the taste of my local $7 latte shop with their beans in my 3200, and the cost savings / convenience is well worth it. IMO, the diminishing returns as you go up in machine price and maintenance make these $4-700 machines the sweet spot, but coffee is highly personal.
