After a month of using this machine, our mornings feel completely upgraded. My partner and I are obsessed! The sleek stainless steel design gives café vibes, solid, stylish and looks so fancy in our kitchen. Poor airfryer looks a bit sad now! I have a coffee before work and take another in my travel cup for my morning commute, it feels like such a treat! My partner has multiple throughout the day Orla · johnlewis.com

I am quite impressed with the quality of the coffee that the machine produces. The coffee is full bodied and (usually) not overly bitter with a nice crema. The milk froths well without being watery. The machine is extremely easy to setup and use - I love that my six year old son can make me a coffee with a couple of button presses. The screen images and animations make everything very easy to foll JosiesCoffee · philips.at
