Pros
- Milk Island - This optional frothing attachment stands up well against manual frothing and is relatively easy to clean.
- Electric Drip Tray - Lightly pushing up or down on the drip tray button adjusts the tray height electronically!
- Bi-Pass Doser - Bypass the grinder with pre-ground coffee to enjoy a cup of decaf in the evenings or a special blend.
| Cons
- Oil-Free- Like most superautomatics, the grinder is not oily bean friendly. Try a medium espresso roast for optimum results.
