Not for my face, YMMV
Doesn't even come close to a Bay Rum aroma. Very little face protection for me. I have other cheaper soaps that I find better for my face.

Bodum Granos, used
Actually, I bought the machine because I collect espresso machines and it is in a class by itself. It is way larger than it looks and will need a good two feet of counter space. The Italian Modern, Swoopy, Artsy look is 'one off.' It can,with care, make a fair cup of espresso. I found a used 3 lug portafilter handle that fits, after some modification, and that gets around the pressurized portafilter handle as used with many home machines to hide the effect of stale coffee grounds.
My advice to a buyer is that they get the instructions from Bodum USA and keep it really clean and scale free. That style of heater/boiler is prone to calcium scaling if not taken care of. CoffeeGeek on the web has a review thread on the machine also.
For me it is a design statement not a daily user. Others will have other reasons and successes.

NIce but..
I do wish that the programming software on the provided disk would allow it to be loaded..it will only load from drive "D." My computer and those of my friends don't either!
So, I am trying to use the Chinese menu to operate the device. I was able to transfer instructions from the disk but not able to program the device by them. Haaave to use a paper instructions.
That said, The device works well for my purposes. Not, however, as well as it could with on-board menu in English rather than Chinese..
