Overview
Not a plain K-Cup brewer, this machine adds a built-in milk frother and a shot button for lattes and cappuccinos. Buttons select the brew size and strength, and the finished coffee is frothed with any milk the user chooses.
A latte at home from one pod and a frother is the reason to look, with a shot button and a strong button for flavor control. The limit is pod dependence: the listed input is K-Cup pods, and there are no smart features.
Who it's for
Pod users who like a milky drink in the morning and want one machine for coffee and lattes. Espresso purists, or shoppers brewing with ground coffee, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Built-in milk frother
- Shot button for concentrated coffee
- Strong button for bolder flavor
- Works with any K-Cup pod
- Pods only as listed input
- Not smart home compatible
- Wattage not listed
Performance notes
The machine brews a pod at the selected size, and the SHOT button gives a concentrated amount that works as the base for milk drinks. The built-in frother then handles milk of any kind, including oat, almond or soy. The STRONG button changes how bold the brew tastes.
