I recently bought the Lello Ariete Cafe Prestige espresso and cappuccino maker as I found a great price on it. When compared to other similar coffee machines it is much cheaper and the reviews were pretty positive. I'm glad I decided to take the leap and try it.

The first time I used it I wanted to make a latte which is my favorite coffee drink. Well, I didn't do anything right with the machine. I used freshly ground beans but didn't use a quality grinder so they were too fine. I also didn't tamp the puck very well and I extracted more espresso from the grinds than I needed. The milk also wasn't hot enough but the funny thing is that the latte tasted pretty good. I thought it as actually better than what I was used to at my local coffee shop. This told me that the Lello Ariete Prestige is very forgiving and easy for the inexperienced person to brew a latte, cappuccino, or espresso drink.

If you are an espresso expert my recommendation might be to go with a more expensive, higher end coffee maker that has more options. However, if you are like me and want to make your favorite drinks at home then I highly recommend the Lello Ariete. Save the extra money and buy yourself a high quality grinder so you can have fresh tasting coffee drinks every morning.
