From the RELEXNOW Store

This is a compact countertop espresso machine that comes with a 1x or 2x sized filters for the portafilter. It has pre-set temperature and pressure for an espresso, 2x espresso, cappuccino, a "cold" espresso setting (pressurized cold water through coffee grounds), and a milk steamer/frothing setting. It does not allow you to adjust the temperature or pressure, but the steam knob allows you to adjust the speed/amount of steam.

You must provide your own milk frothing jug, as it does not include one in the package, but it does include a coffee scoop/tamper.

The machine is small and light enough that you need to use one hand to steady the machine while using the other hand to lock the portafilter into it. (It does have small suction cup feet, but they are not strong enough to keep it from twisting when you are locking the portafilter in place).

The easy on/off water container slides into the back, did not leak in my testing, and has enough water for a 7-15 espressos / 2x espressos, so you really only need to fill it up weekly with casual usage. There is an easy to remove/clean drip tray at the front of the unit as well.

I was happy with the espresso it made with the heated modes, but felt that the "cold" espresso was a little weak. This is at the lower end of the espresso machine market, but I feel it brews a perfectly acceptable cup, and the pre-set temp/pressure settings appear to work well.
