Overview
A conical burr grinder built into the body doses fresh grounds on demand, and a ThermoJet heating system brings water to extraction temperature in seconds before switching to steam. Low pressure pre-infusion opens each shot, and an LCD display tracks grinding and extraction.
Grinder and brewer in one body means one machine handles bean to cup, with a fast switch between espresso and steam. Milk texturing is fully manual through the steam wand, so lattes depend on the user's technique.
Who it's for
Coffee drinkers ready to learn dosing and milk texturing get a complete setup in one appliance. People who want drinks made without hands-on steps will find the manual wand and grinder dosing more work than they want.
Pros and cons
- Built-in grinder doses on demand
- Heats up in seconds
- Pre-infusion for even extraction
- LCD shows grind and shot progress
- Tank size, pressure and dimensions not listed
- Manual milk texturing takes practice
Performance notes
Shot balance comes from low pressure pre-infusion, which raises pressure gradually so flavors are drawn out evenly before full extraction. The ThermoJet system governs the switch between espresso and steam, cutting the wait between pulling a shot and texturing milk. Dosing from the integrated burr grinder sets how consistent each shot is, while the Razor tool trims the dose level.
