1. Cleaning this up after each use (imho) was a bit of a hassle.
2. The milk frother kinda splashes little droplets of milk everywhere, mostly in the cup, but a wee bit in unwanted areas.
3. The prep per drink was more than I anticipated for (as was the cleanup).
4. You're really limited to the size of the cups you can use with this thing.
In general I thought, okay the work of prepping each drink would be the same as refilling each nespresso pod (if refilling pods in bulk, not one at a time), but the cleanup with this per drink is way more involved. You have to dump the espresso puck, clean the portafilter, clean under the rim that the portafilter attaches through, and run hot water through it, and run a steam clean through the milk frother...whereas with the Nespresso its just cleaning the milk frother.
When I got this machine, I thought it would be cool to act like a barista, then the cold hard reality of the extra work set in and I decided on sticking with the Nespresso and I returned this thing.
Hope this helps someone. If you don't want to refill Nespresso pods, get an original line machine where the pods/capsules are much cheaper. If refilling Nespresso pods, do them in bulk to streamline the process, and get some tools from Recaps. If you enjoy doing the process of preparing Espresso, and are a beginner, then this is the machine for you.

The key (any espresso machine) is soft water. (Coffee taste better too). And follow the instructions to descale the boiler using vinegar.
