A Great Coffee Machine, but Some Room for Improvement

summarizeEditor's Summary

I'm really enjoying the great coffee I can make at home with this machine, but it's not perfect. The user-friendly interface and frother are definite highlights, but there are some annoying issues that bug me. For the price, I expect more. Here's the lowdown: it brews coffee perfectly, every time, and the compact design takes up less space in my kitchen, but the lack of a built-in grinder and some design flaws hold it back.

A Great Coffee Machine, but Some Room for Improvement
I've recently gotten into coffee machines, and I'm really enjoying the great coffee I can make at home!
The machine is super easy to use, brews coffee perfectly, and the frother creates a silky-smooth foam.
One thing I love about this coffee machine is its user-friendly interface. It's incredibly simple to navigate, even for a coffee newbie like me.
However, there are a couple of issues that are really bugging me.
For $80, I expect a lot more - these issues just don't add up to good value.
The two most annoying issues are:
The machine doesn't tell me when the coffee beans are running low. It also incorrectly lets me know when the water level is low.
For example, I'll press a drink that needs 200ml of water, but there's only 100ml left in the tank. It'll make half the drink, then tell me to refill the tank when it's all gone. Not exactly what I want to hear!
The water level is hard to see since the tank is hidden, so we've started checking it before every brew.
Another issue I've encountered is that the machine needs cleaning way too often. Maybe it's our water, but it happens about once a month.
The frother is also super finicky - it'll often not heat the milk enough, and not create the foam I want. This usually happens when it's asking me to clean it out, which is pretty annoying.
Despite these issues, I still really enjoy using this coffee machine. The coffee it produces is top-notch, and the frother is a great feature when it works properly.
If you're looking for a hassle-free coffee experience, this machine is a good option. But if you want something a bit more reliable, you might want to consider other options.
Rating: 3.5/5 stars
