Apartmento was designed to address the growing demand of coffee enthusiasts and market demographic for those living in condos where counter space is a premium. Performance wise, it's not going to blow your mind; it will just do the job.
I'd like to go back to a Silvia; I started my journey with one and it's about time they made some real improvements to it. I love the footprint of it; I didn't like how "Italian" it was when it came to repairs and maintenance.
But overall, great machine where I learned lots and went through the aches and pains of espresso machine ownership.
