Very expensive for a cup of coffee in the morning but worth it. Having looked for a while for a quality coffee machine I decided on this one. It’s very very easy to clean so when compared to other bean 2 cup this is massively convenient. I does take patience when setting up as it has a lot of custom settings so expect to waste a bag of cheap beans. I used ‘rave’ beans now and have ended up with coffee every bit as good/better than a good cafe. The milk frother is brilliant when compared to other home machines. Perfect lattes and fantastic hot chocolates are easily achieved. Instant hot water and very fast steamer. You soon get to realise the difference between fresh and old beans. Very well built. Negatives, the grinder has to be paused mid grind to stop the grounds over spilling then restarted. It could be a tad hotter too. More involvement is needed to make your coffee than other coffee machine systems. You can however learn how to make barista coffee easily on YouTube. Biggest down side is the amount of coffee you’ll end up drinking.

Tidy wee machine, we upgraded from the barista to the pro, and as an avid coffee lover who has prepared her own coffee for a number of years it's a must have for any lover. It's quick, it's efficient, it does what it's supposed to do when you're supposed to do it, and looks so sexy in the kitchen, all Matt black and beautiful like. Definitely a machine that is built for people who know coffee as well as people who enjoy it, due to the grind and dose functions being upgraded on the pro changing the coffee beans has never been more exciting (if you're into that) and if you want full control of exactly how your coffee will taste and the texture of your milk you got it! Can't find any faults, although I'm sure someone will haha, definitely a 5 outta 5 in everyway.

A really easy to use professional-standard machine that makes excellent coffee. Whatever your preferred style of drink this machine will produce it effortlessly.
