The steamer is powerful and with the right technique, it makes the microfoam needed for latte art.
The machine works great, so far so good :)
Started espresso at 20 as reccomended only adjusted 2.

The price point of this was a plus, it's everything i was looking for in a home espresso machine!
The price point is great as well.
Competitiveness
Quiet in comparison to my old breville, and easier to use.

If your espresso wont pull fast enough try and look through your espresso basket

If you can see light through the holes your beans have likely been ground too fine and the water cant filter fast enough
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If you cant see light try cleaning the basket with a toothbrush toothpick or worse case scenario take fire to the holes in your espresso basket just lightly untill you hear a light popping sound
