If you pair this with a decent burr grinder, a scale, and some fresh beans, you'll be able to get really good results once you're dialed in. Be warned though, you really need all of those things to use this machine, so the cost for an entire set up is more like $250-$300.

Also the frothing wand-if you're into milk drinks, is fantastic and easy to clean.
Used it this morning for the first time with the included pressurized portafilter and preground Illy espresso. It still came out really good. But it's just the tip of the iceberg since I'll probably get a bottomless portafilter, kingrinder, tamper, wdt and fresh beans. The grinder alone costs more than the machine.
I will say that it didn't work immediately. I think there was an airlock. I had to prime the steam wand and reseat the water tank before it started working properly. Now it's fine.
The worst part is the milk frother. It doesn't produce enough steam to roll the milk. You end up with big bubbles and milk vs micro foam like a coffee shop. However, if you time the froth when it's actively heating, you can roll the milk. It's by far the hardest part of the machine
