I am a little over two months into ownership and can now share some feedback I wish I'd seen prior to purchasing. Let me start by saying the decent funnel, milk pitcher, and WDT tool have been a joy to use* Before the decent, I'd owned traditional tampers, and spent years honing that particular skil...

Everything has been phenomenal. A little over two months into ownership and the Elizabeth is a real powerhouse. The super dry high pressure steam produces coffee shop quality milk I could never replicate with my old machine that was $1000 more. The shots are incredible. Such consistency compared to ...
