What reviewers say
Homes & Gardens and Coffee Blog liked the compact machine's espresso. Homes & Gardens found guided preparation and automatic dairy frothing effective, but Coffee Blog found grind suggestions inconsistent and preferred manual steaming for silky milk. Coffee Blog disliked the filter-style coffee and over-ice results. Homes & Gardens reported stray grounds, splashing hot water and frequent refilling and drip-tray emptying.

- Built-in scale supports automatic weight-based dosing; supplied funnel and separate assisted tamper guide preparation.

Design and power
- Height
- 341.1 mm
- Width
- 309.1 mm
- Depth
- 260.1 mm
- Weight
- 8.8 kg
- Rated power
- 1,650 W
- Electrical requirements
- Current UK maker specification lists 1,650 W. The ES301UK manual linked by the distributor is not used to infer Mini Plus standby or shutdown behaviour.
- Size and weight
- Maker dimensions are length 26.01, width 30.91 and height 34.11 cm; length is recorded as depth here. Published product weight is 8.8 kg.
- Included accessories
- Machine, portafilter, single and double baskets, funnel, assisted tamper and milk jug are listed in the current UK kit.
- Cleaning and maintenance
- Maker specifies a wipe-clean steam wand and dishwasher-safe removable parts; follow the exact supplied Mini Plus guide for which components and cleaning procedures apply.
- Regional availability
- Exact ES352UK maker purchase fragment has enabled Add to Cart and ready-to-order/available flags, checked October 2026. UK ordering is confirmed; delivery remains subject to address and maker terms.
- Release and generation details
- Pages read do not establish first retail sale. Manual or asset dates are not used as launch dates.
Capacity
- Water supply
- Reservoir capacity is omitted because the exact UK maker page does not publish it. The distributor link labelled ES352UK owners manual returns an ES301UK manual for the manual-steam Mini, which is not used for this model's figures.
- Bean hopper
- Exact maker page does not publish hopper capacity; the two independent tests disagree on its capacity, so no headline capacity is inferred.
