That's a bit too much of a coincidence for me and simply leads me to believe that its a cheap product

This actually surprised and disappointed me a bit - I find the shots are a little on the long side

It also leaks a tiny bit during the frothing.

It's a bit difficult to depress, especially if that side of the espresso machine is next to something large, such as another kitchen appliance.

It's out of warranty though I can still use it to make coffee (just leaks a bit out frother), not sure what can be done to fix it.

A bit hard to program, but instructions are clear

Of course it comes a bit easy to me since I've been trained in how to make one, however I believe a beginner could simply look up some YouTube videos and learn how to pretty quickly with some practice

It took a bit of hassle, but I got a replacement which was a)about 100 dollars cheaper b) cheaper construction
