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

Bluetooth connectivity & app4.5
Had a Gaggia machine for 17 years and when it failed recently we found this machine and ordered it. It's not particularly simple to operate until you get used to the Bluetooth facility, but it does make a great cup of coffee with many options. Could do with a larger bean hopper and the milk facility works well. Geoffchats · costco.co.uk
