This machine is no exception, and it has just enough control to let aspiring baristas improve their abilities without spending a lot more than is necessary.

The unit is not without its flaws. The hopper is on the side, not at the top of the model. It's not a major problem, but it could be a hassle if you need to dispense several shots at once. It's also not very easy to see the amount of water left in the tank, because of its rear position.
