Pros & Cons
Pros
The milk frother and the iced reservoir for milk are sadly unused so far. I have 240ml of water with a 60% coffee and 40% milk with the beans giving as much flavour as they can. It prompts you to clean the milk which is a button push after you’ve plac... Read More
The build quality of the machine certainly feels very good as does the way it is packaged up. If you are not in too much of a hurry for your coffee, the price is the price. It’s not only nicer coffee but cheaper in the long run and less environmentall... Read More
The touch screen has preset options for espresso, latte, cappuccino, americano and simple hot milk. The only thing i don't like about the interface is that there is no conformation button.
It comes with a really good instruction manual for which the manufacturers are to be commended - so many these days are impenetrable. Using the machine is actually very intuitive, and a lot less complicated than the instruction booklet makes it seems.... Read More
When the water tank needs refilling, the old coffee grounds need emptying, or the beans need topping up, the screen tells you. As you can see from the pictures there is a menu that has a picture of cups on a tray. The dispenser on the front slides up ... Read More
Cons
Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere! The machine doesn't have a hotplate for warming, so a kettle or maybe using the hot water that flushes through the machine at switch on to warm the cup is essential. It constantly wants you to empty the bin tha... Read More

Final consideration, for this quite excellent machine, if you are not in too much of a hurry for your coffee, is the price.
Packaging/appearance
Here you can choose how strong you want your coffee by pressing the beans on the left of the screen.
The seperate milk jug is an excellent idea, as it can be stored in the fridge.
Although its integration into the machine would make a much bulkier affair of what is at the moment a very svelte unit only 20c... Read More
This is done by just popping the little rubber tube into the milk container.
Competitiveness
It is quick, for example, it makes a 200ml americano from start to finish in under 90 seconds.

Personally i find that using a small plastic milk bottle from the fridge next to it is just as handy and uses even less space

My biggest gripe is the length of time the machine takes
