WOULD BUY AGAINYES
Bought it again. Solid coffee, delicious espressos and ristretto! Works very well with americano, aerocano, and various other non-milk drinks superbly. Not sure if it works better with milk. Chocolatey, carameley, and possible to hold back sourness and bitterness with dialling the espresso in!
