Overview
Kitchen counters, dorm rooms and office break areas get a compact black and stainless machine that brews ground coffee into a carafe and steams milk through a wand. One knob switches between power, brewing and steam, with indicator lights for safety.
Milk drinks are where it earns its spot: the steam wand builds micro-foam fast enough for lattes and cappuccinos. Brewing runs at a low rated pressure and needs a medium-coarse grind, since fine grounds can clog it and taste burnt.
Who it's for
Morning lattes for a couple or a few cups during an office break suit this compact machine. Purists who grind fine for intense shots, or anyone wanting pods, should skip it.
Pros and cons
- Steam wand makes micro-foam quickly
- Single knob, easy for beginners
- Removable washable drip tray
- Carafe has a water level gauge
- Fine espresso grind can clog it
- Low rated brew pressure
- Ground coffee only, no pods
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
Extraction depends on grind size: the maker calls for medium-coarse so water flows at the right rate through the funnel. Too fine slows flow and over-extracts, too coarse runs fast and tastes sour. Foam quality depends on wand depth in the milk and the steam output of the heating system.
