My in laws have a Jura and the same coffee beans out of that machine taste closer to what you'd get at a coffee shop, whereas this machine just makes it easy to make an acceptable latte at home. I wouldn't buy it again if it ever breaks, but I bought it at $300 to replace a kuerig and don't regret it.

I did have an issue with the cleaning cycle not finishing but luckily i hasnt happened again.
It is recommended to not use oily beans as the grinder can gum up and there is no way to clean it
10/10 would buy again.

Like I said, at this price its decent. I would definitely recommend it over a similarly priced manual espresso machine just for the convenience. Its MSRP is $629 which at that price it would be a hard pass IMO.

Some of the deals over the years have been tempting, but I keep on rocking the Starbucks Barista (Saeco Via Venizia) I got on a FW deal ages ago. Simple mechanical system that just won't die.

All I am saying is for $239 this may be an OK deal, but don't expect a top-level performance or reliability. If you want a reliable super-automatic, you will need more developed brands like Jura, Saeco, Delonghi, but then these will cost you a lot more.
Or as others recommend, stay semi-automatic. Takes a bit of time and practice but the hardware is much simpler and somewhat more reliable. By the way, if going semi-auto rule, you need to invest into proper grinder which would still cost you a lot more than this machine.
I did have an issue with it about 8 months in. Hot water was leaking out the front when it brewed but I sent a video into the warranty department and they sent me a new machine. No issues with the new one yet.
