What reviewers say

Reviewers found the assisted dosing and tamping useful for making good espresso with less effort, though initial adjustment remained necessary. TechRadar liked the controls and dairy/oat milk foam but found the machine bulky. WIRED reported variable shot yields, limited fine grind adjustment and awkward advanced settings, preferring separate equipment for users seeking more control.
