Good points

Good Points

  • Integrated milk frother.
  • User can choose the density of the milk froth being dispensed.
  • Easy to wipe over the black plastic exterior as there is very little entrapment for dirt to build up.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Controls are symbols, need to refer to manual initially.
  • Noticeable amount of water can drip into capsule bin as well as tray under capsule bin. This can also run into the base of the unit.
  • Coffee drips out after delivery.
  • Unable to froth milk separately, need to make coffee as well, using cappuccino or latte function.
