Overview
A home barista who wants cappuccino and latte as well as espresso gets a steam nozzle, a frothing cup and a warming plate on top for heating cups. Serving size can be pre selected, and the filter holder locks in place.
Pressure, the choice between ground coffee and pods, and a steam function cover the usual espresso drinks from one compact machine. The limitation is that it is operated manually, so tamping and grind affect the result, and the listing says very little about the reservoir beyond the title.
Who it's for
Households that make a few espresso drinks a day and are willing to learn tamping and grind adjustment will get the most from it. People who want a fully automatic or dishwasher safe machine should choose something different.
Pros and cons
- Steam nozzle and frothing cup
- Accepts ground coffee or pods
- Warming plate on top for cups
- Removable drip tray and cover
- Manual operation needs technique
- Not dishwasher safe
- Reservoir described only in the title
- Single listed tamping tool, no grinder
Performance notes
Water flow through the filter decides the shot, and the product copy says it can be adjusted by changing the tamp pressure or the grind of the coffee. Water that runs slowly over extracts and tastes bitter, while water that runs fast gives a thin cup. The steam function froths milk separately from brewing.
