What we like
- Cheapest real path into fresh-ground, no-portafilter automatic espresso from a name brand
- Grind, dose, and cup size are all independently adjustable, more than most one-touch machines admit to offering
What we don't
- Manual wand means milk quality depends entirely on your own skill, undercutting the "automatic" pitch
- Plastic drip tray and water tank feel like the corners De'Longhi cut to hit this price
- Display and button layout are less intuitive than the touchscreen on pricier De'Longhi and Philips models
