Pros & Cons
Pros
First purchase in the last 100 i have been bothered to review. I wish i'd done it sooner - this thing is great. Waited for a few months to write the review.
Easy to unpack and put together. The instruction manual is detailed and it can seem like there's a lot to take in, but it's easy to use and easy to clean. Powerful blast of steam for cappuccinos.
A few minor * i’ll mention just for the benefit of the amazon customer but bear in mind my overall view is that this is another great coffee machine. Replaced a well known pod coffee machine with this. It has its quirks, as does every other machine so... Read More
But overall it has a better build quality and feel than the 4200.
Cons
Machine makes good coffee, but like some other reviewers i suffered with a machine that leaks. There customer service is unhelpful.
Highlights
Quality
Good machine, tastes good with quality beans, easy to maintain.
Great machine, clean, efficient and good quality of coffe made with ease.
I tried first with run of the mill coffee beans and was disappointed with the coffee.
Once i started using high quality beans, it was a very different end result!
Competitiveness
He loves the fact it makes a full cup of coffe ie a mug.
I'm really enjoying long iced coffees as you can make a 450ml travel mug sized drink is a minute.

The strength of the drink is changeable from the front panel and the coarseness of the coffee grind can also be altered

There are several programmable options such as setting the local water hardness a tester kit is provided with the machine the amount of coffee dispensed in a cup and also the temperature its delivered at which are easily configured but require you to press the right combination of buttons on the control panel to make your choices and these arent obvious without the manual to hand

You can also use preground coffee but it will only allow you to make one cup at a time as the preground coffee hopper is quite small

Although once you have put some decent coffee beans it takes about 200gms at a time my favourite is columbian into the machine and tasted it fresh ground preground just doesnt come up to scratch

Options not only about what type of coffee it dispenses and the strength but things like the volume of coffee dispensed under each option and the temperature all of which the user can set with a few simple button combinations
