ToddS This is an entry level machine that will brew a good creama and steam for you. It has a thermoblock so it does not have great steam pressure for frothing. You may want to move up a little bit more to the Gaggia Espresso Pure, it has a large volume Stainless Steel boiler for great steam pressure and with its commercial brewing components it can brew a commercial quality espresso. It is an amazing value for the money. If you don't have a good quality burr grinder you will also want to purchase the Gaggia "pressurized filter basket" with it.
