What reviewers say

Both reviewers praised guided dosing and tamping, espresso flavour and cold-coffee options. Milk results differed; Expert Reviews found dairy and oat foam smooth, while TechRadar found its automatic dairy foam unstable but liked oat and manual steaming. Rear tank access needs clearance. Expert Reviews found the touchscreen sluggish and some controls awkward; both considered it costly.
