Weird system....first off, it is very load when brewing! It has a reservoir in back, so it is up to you to decide when its done with your brewing...You have to manually shut it off. Could be 1 shot, could be a whole cup.

This coffee maker has a stylish design but the stainless stain material is cheap.

It may just be the machine that I got but it's just not getting the espresso hot enough and regardless of how fine I grind and tamp the espresso I can not get the machine to produce a crema that covers the top of the espresso. It will froth milk fine...

Easy to use and makes a great cup of expresso. The style looks great on my counter. I've used this after serveral dinners and am very satisfied with the quality and performance.
