Performance Analysis

Our testing revealed this to be one of the most sophisticated bean-to-cup machines currently available. What sets it apart isn’t just its extensive feature list—it’s how practical and useful these features are in daily use.

Take the dual milk-frothing system: you can choose between the one-touch carafe for those rushed weekday mornings or switch to the professional steam wand when you fancy practising your latte art at weekend. [The Best Bean to Cup Machines](https://coffeeblog.co.uk/best-bean-to-cup-coffee-machines/) often force you to choose between convenience and control, but this machine offers both.

The customisation options really shine during use. While coffee enthusiasts can dive deep into flow restriction and pre-infusion settings to perfect their espresso, casual users can simply tap the screen and enjoy their favourite drink without fuss.

There is one minor drawback worth noting: the drip tray capacity seems undersized compared to the water tank. You’ll find yourself emptying it more frequently than you might expect. However, given the machine’s outstanding performance, build quality, and longevity, we consider this a small compromise. While the initial investment might seem substantial, our experience with similar models suggests excellent long-term value for money.
