- Does it grind beans for each shot?
- Yes. It has a built-in conical burr grinder, so you load whole beans and it grinds per drink. You can also use pre-ground coffee in a separate basket.
- Can it make lattes and cappuccinos?
- Yes. The integrated frother steams and foams milk, and the presets set espresso and milk amounts for common drinks.
- Is it good for someone new to espresso?
- Yes. The guided presets and automatic frothing remove most of the learning curve. People who want to dial in shots by hand may find it limiting.
- Does it make cold coffee drinks?
- It offers cold coffee-style drinks, brewing over ice rather than true cold brew. Results are closer to iced espresso than steeped cold brew.
- How much maintenance does it need?
- Plan on regular cleaning of the brew path and milk frother, plus descaling. The grinder and milk system are the parts owners mention most.
- Can I use my own grinder instead?
- Yes. You can bypass the built-in grinder and use pre-ground coffee, though the machine is designed around grinding fresh.
