Slashing money spent out on coffee!!!
on December 3, 2024
Posted by: beckyk81_1889
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love having this for bougie coffee that costs an arm and leg out! The directions for use could be easier, photos only, not super helpful. I like strong coffee, and I love the expresso feature. I haven't had any leakage from the water resovier. My Mom loved i could make her a cappuccino using the custom button! Even she would be able to make it. She said she'd have to come live with me to use it. 😂 Hoping this holds up well!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this machine! I will say. It was a bit of a learning curve to get it set up properly, and it has some small quirks. But, once you get it ready, it makes delicious coffee. I love the option to make espresso or lattes. The milk frother is really nice too. You just need to clean it out often.

Convenient and easy to clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I love this espresso machine! To be honest we mostly use it for regular coffee. Being that this is an espresso machine at heart, of course, it wants to make smaller cups of coffee so we will set it to run like it’s making two cups of coffee for our one. It tastes really good and is super convenient for when we don’t want to make a whole regular pot. I did try using the latte go. It was not bad. Hopefully my video attached for that. I would love if we just have the milk heated without adding coffee so we could make hot chocolate with it as well. This is not a quiet machine for sure but you can use it for hot water, cappuccino, espresso and regular coffee. There is a setting to use already ground coffee in place of the whole beans but I had absolutely no luck with that. Likely operator error but I’ll just stick with the beans. The machine comes apart pretty easily making it easy to clean. We really enjoy this machine and it’s flexibility, even if we are stuck in coffee mode at the moment lol.

Good cup of Joe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love espresso and I love it strong. So I was very excited about this product. When I received it, I noticed it had some weight to it. So it will find a home and not be moved around the kitchen very often. The machine is big and takes up some counter space. I opened the box and it was packed very well. It was secure and protected without a lot of waste packing materials. I pulled out the instructions and was a bit complexed, there were no written instructions. Just steps shown in picture format. No explanations on the illustrations at all. I didn’t panic about this but was concerned. I managed to stumble through the steps as illustrated and everything was fine. The machine worked great, a bit noisy though. As matter of fact, my 3 year old Labrador ran out of the kitchen and dove under the bed on the other end of the house noisy..
Coffee. I made a cup of regular coffee. I allowed me to use my favorite ground coffee that you buy at the grocery store. You just spoon it in to the hopper located at the top of the machine. You will have to play with the settings until you find the strength you desire. There are three settings for strength. Like I said I love it strong. So max is my setting.. it was very good . Now there are settings for cup amounts. I noticed that the amount of coffee it makes even at highest settings will only fill a “mug” halfway. I just made two rounds to fill my mug.
Espresso. Instead of using already ground beans like your coffee, the espresso requires whole bean coffee. You just dump the beans into the hopper at the top and let the machine do the work. It will automatically grind the beans to the appropriate settings. You like it stronger, set the settings to the strong settings and let it go. The amount of espresso you get is adjustable but will be less than your coffee settings. It makes really good espresso. Hint, the fresher the roast the better your espresso will be. So buy it fresh.
Cappuccino. This is where this machine really shines. It uses whole bean coffee same as for the espresso option. It has a milk hopper that steams your milk for your cappuccino. You pour the milk in the hopper hit the cappuccino option and let the machine do the work. And a pro tip, you can sweeten the milk add cinnamon to the milk and it will steam all together. It makes a great tasting cappuccino. Or use your favorite coffee mate, French vanilla , hazelnut for your milk. It will froth it the same for a flavorful cup of cappuccino. To fill a mug you will have to make two to three rounds. But it’s worth it.. of course if you drink a full mug. You won’t have any trouble staying awake most of the day.. lol.
I really like the coffee this machine makes. The instructions are a bit confusing. I did find a video on YouTube on how to set it up after everything was set. You could always go that route. The two things that I wish was better are the amounts it makes. I wish it would fill a mug without making two to three rounds to fill it. And secondly, the noise. It’s pretty noisy. My lab is still traumatized by it. lol he runs every time it’s used.

Nice automatic espresso machine but not for lattes
on October 17, 2024
Posted by: ashleyh1345
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall a good all in one machine. I like that it has the aqua clean system to minimize de scaling, a built in adjustable grinder, and a user friendly app to guide you. I also like that you can use your own pre ground coffee if you don't want to do whole bean. The espresso function is great and simple. The things I think could be better are the noise, and the cappuccino only feature. If you're a latte drinker I would get the model above this as this only does foam and not a full blown latte. Not a huge deal as I usually do iced drinks anyway, but something to consider. I also would love if the latte go could be just used as a steamer but it does not. Overall, a good machine from a reputable brand and if you want simple and are a beginner like myself it's a great place to start your home coffee journey!

Variety of drinks at your finger tips

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Set up was very easy. The instructions were easy to follow. I also found a YouTube video for this machine which was awesome made the set up even easier. I used oat milk for my cappuccino and it didn’t froth as much as regular milk so just heads up if you’re using alt milk. Customizing coffee to your preference is such a nice feature. My husband likes his much stronger than I do but with this machine we can make it the way we want. Cannot speak on durability as I have not had it long enough to test that yet but i am hoping it stays part of our kitchen staple appliance for years to come. The only downside is it’s so loud, like loud loud. My husband woke up before me and made himself a cup and it woke me up in the bedroom adjacent to the kitchen.
