When it may not be suitable

This machine may not be the best choice for users who require advanced features like integrated milk frothing systems for automated lattes or cappuccinos, as this model focuses primarily on espresso and black coffee preparation. Additionally, those looking for smart connectivity or app-controlled brewing options will find this manual-interface model too basic for their needs.

How to use

To operate the machine, fill the water tank with fresh, cold water and add your preferred coffee beans to the bean hopper or ground coffee to the designated chute. Use the front control panel to select your desired coffee strength and volume. Once the settings are adjusted, press the button to start the brewing process.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have sufficient counter space for a 9 kg appliance
