Beautiful Slim Espresso Machine with 20-Bar Pressure, Black Sesame by Drew Barrymore

We got off to a rocky start with this little espresso maker. I even boxed it up to return it at one point but when it worked, it made delicious espresso so I gave her another chance. I'm so glad I did. I believe the Illy Espresso may have been a bit too fine for this machine but the Lavaza works beautifully. You have to be sure not to go too high when you pack the espresso in or it will clog and not brew properly but if you keep it clean and not get the espresso clogged it really works perfectly and especially for the price! * I usually brew 2 doubles off of 2 packed scoops of espresso. It's the perfect strength. It's delicious hot or cold. We have even done some flavored coffee but be sure to put it on the espresso grind when grinding it. Maybe even closer to the Turkish setting. My coffee game has been changed for the better. It's coffee house quality every day!

Wow! I am so impressed by the design, and quality. You must follow the instructions to learn to use. Make sure you clean before the first use and to the whole process. I have only used the Starbucks Espresso with this machine and it's absolutely delicious, I prefer it over store bought iced americanos. Very easy to clean. The only thing I don't use yet is the forth because I prefer iced americanos.
