I bought both this and one of the more basic nespressos (with aerocino). Both were great, but the total simplicity of hitting "latte" and it doing All the work and the mixing is fantastic. The aerocino (sp?) does make a way stiffer foam (impressive really), I don't Care, I'm going to stir it anyway. With this, I take out the milk container front the fridge, hit my button, turn milk container to clean, put it back in fridge, drink my coffee.

Ok, see what I did there? I forgot "add the pod to the machine". Yaaah, i do that a lot in making coffee too. and do check the water. Really, you have 4 total things to do (Put a cup under it). You'll likely Still mess it up sometimes too lol, but come ON, you have no one to blame but Yourself lol.

Anyway. It's as easy as you can get, makes a great espresso or milk espresso drink.

Edit: check in after a few months. Sill going string. Light is on to d'escale it so I'll do that today, but it's still working great.

Love love this machine. It's easy to use and the coffee is amazing! I make a macchiato every morning and they are delicious. I will say the maintenance is important. I clean the milk frother every time i use it and deep clean it every 3 days. When I don't i find that the froth is not working properly . Also I mix a 50/50 ratio of creamer and reduced fat lactose free milk. This mix is perfect for getting a beautiful froth. If I only use creamer there is barely any froth, vs if I use only milk it's perfect. This is super easy to maintain compared to the others on the market rn.

I would definitely highly recommend for someone looking for an espresso machine with low maintenance and easy to use.

Me encanta 🥰 con solo presionar un botón tienes un rico café y las recetas con leche salen espectaculares yo soy fan del capuchino.

Now that I received a machine that works I love it! The first one I got wasn't frothing the milk correctly and I couldn't figure out why. After receiving the second one I compared them and noticed that the nozzle on the frother was askew and was mostly like the issue. Second one worked great and I absolutely love it. The return process was annoying because I was dented an exchange. I had to buy a whole new one and do a full return and wait for a refund. Also I had to pay to print the return label at UPS. Not sure when it changed from just scanning the qr code for free so that was an annoyance.

We were kind of worried about buying this since several people had complained about the milk frother not working right etc. But we took the risk (because thats who we are lol) and couldn't be happier. My only complain is that our coffee consumption has double because there are so many fun options to try. lol

To those who complained about the frother, try this and see if it helps.

After a week or so, it started not creating as thick of a froth, which made me freak out thinking "I knew we shouldn't have got this!" But then I took one of our thin straw brushes and cleaned all the pipes and parts of the milk compartment and... Wa-Laaaah.. went back to working as new. Ever since then every 3-4 days, I clean them thoroughly and have not had any complains.

Another advise: after every drink, the machine suggests you use the cleanse function. Don't do that if you are planning to make multiple drinks. Every time you "cleanse," at the begging of making the next drink, some excess water comes out of the frother that will dilute your drink (not fun). Cleanse at the end before you put the milk compartment back in the fridge.

Last advice: after you take the milk out of the fridge and before you start making your desired drinks, use a spare cup and hit one of the milk options (like hot foam or hot milk) and wait for few seconds. It will start heating up and then dispense hot water for a bit before it starts actually dispensing milk. As soon as it starts dispensing milk, hit the same button (hot foam or hot milk) and it will stop the process. This way, when you start making your desired drink, you will avoid that little excess water entering your amazing cappuccino or latte etc. I know some of you might not care, but this is for those who do. : )

Enjoy!
