- How does LatteGo differ from a steam wand?
- LatteGo is a two-part carafe that froths milk automatically and has no internal tubes. It comes apart for rinsing, so there is no wand to wipe or milk line to flush.
- Can it make drinks other than espresso?
- Yes. It brews regular coffee and hot water as well as espresso, and the milk carafe makes hot milk and foam for lattes and cappuccinos.
- Does it work with ground coffee?
- It has a bypass chute for pre-ground coffee, so you can use decaf or a favourite ground blend without emptying the hopper.
- How often does it need descaling?
- The machine prompts you based on water hardness and use. In average use that is every few months, and the process is guided step by step.
- Is it worth it over a manual espresso machine?
- If you want milk drinks with one button and little cleanup, yes. If you want to control extraction by hand, a manual machine gives more control for similar money.
- What is in the box?
- The machine, the LatteGo milk carafe, a water hardness test strip and a starter descaling solution. Beans and cups are not included.
