Should you buy it?

Buy it if

  • Fewer one-touch drinks
  • Plastic build

The verdict

A removable brew group, steel burr grinder, and a manual or LatteCrema milk option depending on trim. It won't match a Jura on polish, but it delivers reliable espresso and milk drinks at the lowest credible super-automatic price.
