Just like any other espresso machine, requires a bit of some time to learn in terms of finding the best settings combo for your desired beverage. The automatic rinse function may catch some users off-guard which may lead to a mess. The plastic parts might make it look a bit cheap. Quite noisy. The water tank is rather small, so if you drink a lot of coffee, you will have to refill it quite often.
