Excellent machine all round. Provides great flexibility for a range of coffees and is quick and easy to use.

Quick and Easy once you get going.

A bit confusing for beginners. Takes a bit of time to get use to. Haven't do a full Clean and Descale yet and dreading it.

Makes a good cup of coffee

Takes a while to get used to various settings and options

Excellent machine and beautiful coffee. Very easy to use. All round a very good buy. Wish I had bought one years ago.

Creates a real problem when you visit friends and they serve instant coffee.

consistent results

not the easiest to operate

The coffee it makes is lovely. It is easy to clean and there are lots of clever functions on there.

It takes a bit of setting up, lots of instructions to read. To get the milk really frothy it takes quite a bit of practice.
