This is our first super automatic espresso machine after years of using manual machines. We absolutely love it, and I don't miss being the house barista. (I was never very good at it anyway. ) The Anima is easy to program, and makes great latte macchiato, cappuccino and espresso. All I have to do is pop in the milk cannister and push a button. Cleanup and maintenance also are easy. One thing to wa Thomas T. · wholelattelove.com

A wonderful addition to the kitchen! Not only does it look the part, but it is also super simple to make coffee. The steaming wand is a great addition for those who enjoy cappuccinos or lattes. Lance · www.yuppiechef.com
