Pros & Cons
Pros
Great product. Great quality. Very conveniently. Easy to use. Really have zero complaints. Not a single complaint.
Easy to use, small on the bench and makes a good coffee. Almost equivalent to my favourite cafe, just a bit weak. Easy to clean, nice and compact for a small kitchen too.
It comes with a lot of things that other machines make you purchase (pressurised and non-pressurising baskets, a tamper, milk jug) the machine is aesthetically pleasing. The milk steamer is a bit slower than what i'm used to, but what do you expect fo... Read More

The trade off is more frequent machine replacement as servicing these machines is pretty nonexistent
