Immensely disappointing!
1/5
Immensely disappointed with this coffee machine. I bought it to replace a very similar older model, which was great, but this one was hopelessly inadequate. My complaints are, in order of uselessness: the milk frother simply did not work. It just heated the milk while making a terrible noise, but failed to froth the milk at all. Next, the heated but unfrothed milk sticks to the stainless steel frothing wand like concrete. This did not happen on the older model. Next, the coffee tasted and looked thin and watery (and yes I did follow all instructions). Finally, after use there should be "cake" of coffee grounds in the handle, but they were all sloppy and wet. This machine is not fit for purpose (at least the one I had). Oh, and it does not take unground beans as the website suggests. AO Customer Service, though, were brilliant in sorting out my complaint.
