Should you buy it?

Buy it if

  • Plastic build

The verdict

A removable brew group, a 13-setting conical burr grinder and, on the LatteCrema trim linked here, an automatic milk carafe with seven one-touch recipes: espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, iced coffee, hot water and a savable My Latte. It won't match a Jura on polish, but it delivers reliable espresso and milk drinks at the lowest credible super-automatic price.
