Pros & Cons
Pros
The icon-based interface is very easy to navigate, whether choosing a drink or tweaking a recipe. It's expensive but a great way to have barista quality drinks at home with minimal effort. When first starting out and getting accustomed to the machine ... Read More
The ease of use and ease of cleaning the milk system is why i chose this appliance. The lack of a need to descale the machine for literally years if using the filters is well worth the trade off.

While it is much more involved than our ninja drip it isnt nearly as bad as some of other units out there that require a full weekly break down of the innards
