Had mine for 55 months and 6100 plus coffees, 99% cappuccinos. Has not missed a beat. Excellent machine and would highly recommend. Stan

Produces beautiful frothy milk foam

Slightly bulkier than I expected

The Prima Donna Elite is not your low end coffee machine nor is it the most expensive. If you prefer fresh ground coffee over the pod machines and there's nothing wrong with them then this is the machine you want.
