nice!
once you get the grind dialed in it'll make really consistent shots...no bitterness and distinctly layered.
i would recommend ditching any frothing "enhancer" or whatever they call it and just work on steaming milk with the naked steam wand.
use a trusted thermometer with your milk for the first 10,000 lattes. after that you can go on feel alone.
keep it clean as a new, and descale periodically.
