Bad Points
- Our tester found that when adjusting the grinder for the machine, the shots are not repeatable with the same setting from one day to the next, so constant readjustment is necessary. Sunbeam says the machine u0022is more sensitive to change than the rest of our range, however this was identified as a requirement for high end manual coffee machinesu0022. It says that the machine reacts to small changes such as pressure during tamping. It also notes that in its first production models, the factory pre-infusion setting was set to be too sensitive. However, we did not find any difference in our results when testing was conducted using the recommended setting.
- It's a fairly big job to keep the polished stainless steel surface clean and spot free as there are lots of places for dirt entrapment.u003cpu003e
- Note: Sunbeam says the display dial artwork on early production models such as the one we tested will be improved so that the optimum coffee-making settings are set in the green zone.
