Which one should you buy?
Anyone who wants espresso drinks without grinding, dosing or tamping
Beans go in and finished drinks come out at the touch of a button, thanks to the built-in grinder and LatteCrema automatic milk. It trades shot control for convenience, so it is less hands-on than a semi-automatic.
Skip it if: You want to control grind, dose and pressure yourself
Full specs and review →Home users who need a super-automatic machine with grinding and manual steaming in a narrow space.
Buyers who want an integrated grinder and steam wand in a compact footprint should consider it. The fixed water tank suits setups where plumbing is unavailable.
Skip it if: Anyone requiring a plumbed-in connection.
