Pros & Cons
Pros
The quick start instructions include a boatload of pictures so that you won’t be confused. Machine set up is pretty straightforward.
The milk frother has a rubber or silicone flexible nozzle underneath the sleeve. Making a cappuccino is just about as easy, and frothing milk is just another quick step. In comparison, the nespresso unit i had been using since last year makes an excel... Read More
