Our household has been drinking way too much coffee lately, all because for the first time ever we are enjoying excellent coffee drinks at a push of a button! Before the machine arrived, I have read the user manual and watched a lot of instructional videos, so we were ready to hit the ground running. I recommend you do the same as there are things you will need to know about running this machine. Sandra P. · wholelattelove.com
