This is the closest to a commercial espresso machine you will ever have in your home kitchen. It is a workhorse that makes delicious espresso from your favorite coffee (unlike limited options from capsule coffee makers), and tasty lattes and cappuccinos (unlike steam-free milk-stirring pitchers sold with capsule machines). All the manual adjustments and capabilities to add your personal touch and feel like a genuine barista. Two knobs were replaced with original Pasquini parts. In excellent condition and works beautifully. A visual work of art in the kitchen too. US voltage version.
