I must admit I wasn’t expecting a lot from this coffee machine. Boy was I surprised! First of all it provides easy access to making all of the basic coffee products. Next, you can make foam using almost any dairy or non-dairy milk. Lastly, it provides hot water at a moments notice.On top of all of the above, it has a number of adjustments that you can make to how much milk or coffee you want in your cup. You can even make 2 cups of espresso at the same time! All this happens automatically and with very little mess or fuss.If you make a beverage that requires foam that only does the device prompt you to ensure the milk container is connected, but it also reminds you to clean the frothing line if you’re not gonna make another beverage that uses milk.The reminders that this provides are where this shines. It tells you if you need to empty the coffee grounds, or if you need to add beans or water, or if it senses other general errors.If they are any downsides, it may be that you can’t adjust the amount of coffee that goes into a cup as much as you can with some other machines. That means if you’re looking to make a very large Americano, you’re probably not gonna be able to do it. Of course you can always just press the button a second timeDid I mention that this has a super responsive touchscreen? Well, it does! On top of that it doesn’t have Wi-Fi so if you are someone who is looking for a easy to use device that dosent have wifi this is a good idea.When it’s making coffee, it’s quiet. And it looks nice in almost any space. Cleanup is really easy too.For under $500, this is not a bad choice.
