Conclusion (if you read nothing else): After EXTENSIVE review of super-automatic machines ranging in price from $1,500 - $3,500 - I don't think you can find a better equipped machine to answer all your needs. There are some cons (see below) but overall for the price this machine cannot be beat.

Honestly super impressed with this coffee machine. I did quite a lot of research on which machine would be best for me. I have barista experience and like a proper coffee but didn’t want it to cost too much or take up too much space so this is perfect. The steam wand is honestly the best I’ve tried on any at home machine and I was able to do latte art on the very first coffee I made which is unhea FlorenceTaylor · argos.co.uk
