Our verdict

A simple single-knob machine for milk drinks at home or in a small office, with a steam wand for foam. It needs a medium-coarse grind and brews at a low rated pressure, so check those limits against how you like espresso.

Overview

Kitchen counters, dorm rooms and office break areas get a compact black and stainless machine that brews ground coffee into a carafe and steams milk through a wand. One knob switches between power, brewing and steam, with indicator lights for safety.

Milk drinks are where it earns its spot: the steam wand builds micro-foam fast enough for lattes and cappuccinos. Brewing runs at a low rated pressure and needs a medium-coarse grind, since fine grounds can clog it and taste burnt.

Who it's for

Morning lattes for a couple or a few cups during an office break suit this compact machine. Purists who grind fine for intense shots, or anyone wanting pods, should skip it.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Steam wand makes micro-foam quickly
  • Single knob, easy for beginners
  • Removable washable drip tray
  • Carafe has a water level gauge
Cons
  • Fine espresso grind can clog it
  • Low rated brew pressure
  • Ground coffee only, no pods
  • Warranty not listed

Performance notes

Extraction depends on grind size: the maker calls for medium-coarse so water flows at the right rate through the funnel. Too fine slows flow and over-extracts, too coarse runs fast and tastes sour. Foam quality depends on wand depth in the milk and the steam output of the heating system.
