What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?
Good points

Good Points

  • Good milk frothing.
  • Can be programmed to switch on at a particular time.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK taste test score.
  • It produces weak coffee or a double shot when making two cups at a time resulting in a watered-down flavour.
  • The grinder is easy to fill it up with beans, but the fineness control is quite hard to turn which is not helped by the small size of the control knob.
