Whether I want a single or double shot, a short or long pour, or even experimenting with different coffee blends, the intuitive interface allows me to save my preferred settings easily. This feature is a game-changer, primarily catering to family and friends' unique preferences. The steam wand on this machine is fantastic too.

Review: The most beautiful $2k espresso machine - First up, this didn't come with the adapter to plug into a 15 amp outlet, and none of my local hardware stores had it. Make sure you buy one with the machine unless you already have 20 Amp outlets in your kitchen. Now the review: machine was packed well. Had a nicer tamper than most reviewers suggested, though still not self leveling. Came with a blind basket as well as a pressurized, pod, and 7g and 14g. None will fit a proper tamper. No milk frothing jug was a bummer as well. This machine does a fantastic job at espresso. The included portafilter has a very nice wood handle, and fits my Pullman 17-19g basket just fine. I've had no problem with back to back shots, and the steam is the nicest I've ever used, even running on a 15amp circuit. Latte art is easier than ever. It looks incredible as well. The black fits well with my black Niche Zero and I love the angles and the chrome drip tray.
