Great intro machine

This is a great intro machine if you’re new to espresso! It’s very easy to use for new learners and is still manual enough for experienced baristas to make any drink for any level.

Two things I dislike, but can live with: the basket size is small, so the recommended amount of coffee per shot was off and it gives less espresso than expected. Also you can’t multi task with this machine, you can pour espresso OR steam milk, you can’t do both at the same time.

A great espresso machine for beginners!

This espresso machine is great for those who are just starting out with making espresso at home. The machine itself is quite compact and doesn't need too much countertop space, making it ideal for smaller kitchens. It heats up quickly and keeps it simple with the options on the control panel. The attached steam wand is also great for frothing milk, or even just dispensing hot water for other types of drinks. It comes with all the accessories you need to get started. If you're looking for an espresso machine that's both user-friendly and high quality, I highly recommend this one.

Wonderful Espresso Maker

I received this Paderno Espresso Maker free from Canadian Tire through Butterly in exchange of my honest review. It is a nice machine, design and built is great and looks good sitting on kitchen counter. Very easy and straight forward to use , works fast. The only complaint is how loud the milk brother gets when in use. It is so loud that I can't think of using it late at night or it may disturb everyone sleeping. Manual does warn about noise but it is much louder than I would have expected.
