- Does it make cold brew and iced coffee?
- Yes. It has a cold-extraction system for cold brew and iced drinks alongside the hot menu. Cold drinks take longer to prepare than hot ones.
- Does it froth milk automatically?
- Yes. The milk carafe froths and heats milk automatically for lattes, cappuccinos and flat whites. You can also set the froth level and temperature.
- How many drinks can it make?
- It covers espresso, long coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, flat white, hot water for tea and the cold drink range. You can save personal drink profiles.
- Is it hard to set up?
- Setup is guided, but owners say the first days involve learning the menus and dialing in the grinder. Expect some trial and error before drinks suit your taste.
- What do I need to maintain?
- The brew group needs regular rinsing, the milk carafe needs cleaning after use, and the machine runs descaling cycles. Filters and cleaning tablets are consumables.
- Who is it not for?
- Anyone short on counter space or who wants a simple one-button machine may find it oversized and over-featured. It rewards people who will use the drink range.
