You can also customize your desired temperature and body (light, medium, or dark) as well as coffee and milk volumes.

HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS: In our tests, the espresso had great flavor and was well-balanced. I found that the machine was very consistent in terms of taste, volume, and temperature when making espresso.
