Nicely built machine but knowledge required to use it.
4/5
Did quite a lot of research before buying this but to be honest it wasn't enough! Don't believe all the You Tube videos as I did, as they would have you believe that this machine is a doddle to use and to be honest, it isn't. You need to have some coffee knowledge, (I had none), and you also need really decent beans, (which I didn't). It takes time to dial in to get a decent brew and this process can waste a lot of coffee. Once you do learn how to use it though, the coffee is great! Machine seems to be nicely built with some great features, but I can't stress enough that it really isn't a case of buy it, fill it with beans and then expect decent coffee! I've found a lot of help since purchase at https://coffeeforums.co.uk/
