Pros

Programable - Settings for water quality, time and temperature help you brew your ideal cup of coffee
Frothing Nozzle - The adjustable steam wand provides control
Easy to Clean - Easy-clean functionality ensures each cup you brew is packed with pure flavor

Cons

Limited Control - Though most might love the semiautomatic and programmable nature of this machine, beware if you consider yourself a control-freak in the least. This machine is designed to turn out regular, reliable drinks, but is not intended to simulate its professional-grade, manual relatives
Oil-Free - Like most superautomatics, the grinder is not oily bean friendly

How it Works
Programming this versatile machine to your liking will be key to brewing the shot or cup of your dreams. Settings available from the one-touch control center allow you to set your water quality, brew strength, and drink type. Adjust the rotary knob in the grinder to set your ideal grind, and use the adjustable nozzle to add the right level of foamy texture.
