Latticia

Firstly, this machine makes a fabulous cup of coffee, latte, cappuccino or plain black or white. My trusty De’Longhi (over 10 years old) went bang so it was time for a new machine. Hard to choose a different maker but I’m glad I did. It’s beautifully made - solid and good looking. The setup is pretty simple and is just about fully explained in the first time setup in the manual. The setting to make it as hot as possible works well as I like my coffee really hot. It also takes the standard water filters (which improves the flavour) and they are cheap enough as long as you don’t but the ‘branded’ versions - so then you don’t have to faff around with the frequent descaling if you don’t use the filters (it also makes setting the water hardness a redundant feature). Some people are moaning about the endless cleaning cycles- don’t listen to them- it’s no more intense than my de’longhi was after each drink, just different- and I don’t mind at all. You can adjust the quantity and strength easily ‘on the fly’ which is nice as you don’t always have the same mugs/cups etc. the only drawback is that the ‘Costa’ sized latte glasses don’t fit under, nor the slightly smaller versions - but that’s no different to my old machine - so we’re now using mugs - but that’s ok as they actually take the same volume of liquid. I was cautious about not having a milk carafe, but actually it’s so much more sensible just having a tube and wand (purchased separately but absolutely necessary). You just drop the wand into your milk bottle- simples! No mess, no space taken up in your fridge. The clean cycle after making a milk based coffee does require dropping the wand into a receptacle with water - so I just have an old milk bottle filled with water stashed behind the machine for that. Again, you had to run a clean cycle on my old machine- so no difference there. It is quite quiet- maybe not whisper quiet as stated. It also makes 2 coffees/lattes at once - that’s really neat. All in all - very impressed so far.

Simple to operate. Makes all the coffees I need. Two at the time, great taste. I tried other with milk container, but this with the pipe is better in my opinion. Recommended.

I have had this machine for circa six months now, when I’m working from home I probably make myself 4-6 coffees a day. This machine is brilliant. Essentially put the coffee beans in the back, water in tank to the side, if want a milk based drink then hose into milk bottle, cup underneath, puts the button and it makes you a coffee, There are various functions to fine tune what you want. First of all there are five principal pre set drink buttons along the top, expresso, cappuccino, latte, steamed milk, hot water. The dial at the end you can adjust the amount of drink dispenser to suit the cup size. You can adjust the coffee strength between three strength settings. In the setup settings you can also adjust the drink temperature. You can make two drinks at the same time by double tapping the preset drinks button to show 2x on the screen and put one cup under each nozzle. Yo will need to play around with the machine to start with to work out the best settings to suit you cup/ glass sizes and drink preferences. For example I usually drink latte, but also have quite large latte 400ml glasses. I have found by setting the strength to 1, setting the dial to the largest drink size, and double tapping on cappuccino, if perfectly fills the glass and makes the right strength milk based expresso drink for my taste. I have noticed a few slightly ridiculous complaints on some comments here. The machine has a removable and fillable water tank, so yes will run out when empty, usually I find it can do me two 400ml drinks before runs out (obviously that is including milk). If you want a machine you don’t have to fill up then spend a lot more and buy one that you plumb in! The machine cleans itself when you start it up, after making each drink, and when you turn it off. It also recommends, although you are not forced to, rinse through the milk system after making each drink. Yes this fills the drip tray, and yes this uses water. However it is called hygiene, and also machine maintenance, I would prefer it cleaning itself than making me I’ll or clogging and breaking breaking down. If this is an issue, again pay a lot more and get one the water supply and drip tray are plumbed in!! For the price this is a brilliant machine and I would definitely recommend.

Över förväntan. Är otroligt nöjd o glad för detta köp.

Excellent café et c'est le plus important.

Sehr guter Vollautomat. Bin Neueinsteiger und war sehr gespannt. Der Kaffee schmeckt mir hervorragend und ist sehr! heiß. Ebenso der Espresso. Nach jeder Herstellung von Latte Macchiato muss der Milchschlauch gereinigt werden. Das kostet etwas Zeit und einiges an Wasser. Bin aber sehr zufrieden und kann das Gerät nur weiterempfehlen , zumal es recht schmal ist und dadurch nicht viel Platz benötigt

Excellent coffee machine Easy to use
