Pros
- Cost-Effective Cappuccinos: If you currently drink a couple of cafe cappuccinos a day, your Carina will have you saving money in just a few months.
- Maintenance Magic: No water worries here; easy refills and a set-and-forget water filter means less effort, more espresso.
- Simplicity: The Carina trades microcustomizability for ease of operation—a tap or two is all you need for your morning cup.
-
Cons
- Button Backlights: Small amber LEDs are the only indicators you get on the machine.
- Two-Step: While the dedicated brew button gives you the option to adjust your drink before brewing, once you have it set to your favorites the extra step is largely unnecessary.
