Lovely machine, take your time to run through the different options of coffee drinks available which you can tweek to your own taste. The latte is lovely. Going through the different options and adjusting strength is easy. The coffee beans you use is all about personal choice, and ours is based currently on various reviews and will try others when this current selection runs out. We have at the moment Lavazza which is quite a strong coffee bean. It's great to have so much choice with this machine and all at the soft touch of a screen. Cleaning is easy and everything gives you a warning to empty, clean, top up etc. Have been tempted in purchasing a coffee machine since first lockdown and finally bit the bullet, so glad we did, your own delicious coffee at home. I'm sure it will pay for itself in no time. If you love this type of coffee, you wont be disappointed. I researched these for ages and was between Sage, Jura and this Melitta, all are good but this machine not only looks great, but is a technical wonder, highly recommended. Is expensive but you do get what you pay for. Very happy customer.??
