High quality machine that does it all for you
4/5
I really like this machine: attractive, well-made and simple to use once you have mastered the instructions and experimented with its numerous functions. Makes decent espresso but it's probably too automated for coffee geeks who like more control of the output. Having said that, you can vary strength, temperature and length of drink to a reasonable degree. Would have given 5 stars if the milk temperature had been a little higher, although the milk carafe system delivers perfect frothed milk suitable for the drink being made. Coffee temperature is OK. Good rinsing and cleaning functions make maintenance easy and the large bean hopper and water tank mean you are not forever filling them up.
