Incredibly easy to use. Lots of options if you really want to dial in your preferences. My coffee consumption is way up now, even enjoying some great decaf drinks at night.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought I previously made good coffee, but not in same league with the quality and versatility of this machine. I especially like to be able to draw an espresso lingo when I don’t want a full cup.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ever since we came back from Germany, we wanted to purchase this machine...and this year was the year! The coffee tastes amazing, better then the coffee shops. It is extremely ease to clean on a weekly and monthly basis. There are easy to follow videos and articles to read for maintenance, and operation. The grinder adjustment is easy to use and we love that you can program your favorite drinks in. I hope it lasts for many...many years!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely Love this machine. I am having trouble with the website. It’s not easy to navigate and I’m finding that it says to add tablets to the unit to clean it but the website says they no longer sell these tablets.Are the tablets still required?
After looking at several different super-automatic espresso machines, we ultimately decided on this Xelsis. Part of our decision was the ease of cleaning, removable brew group, and presence of a water filter, which were all features missing in part from other super-automatics in the same price point. Set up is easy, the touch screen is simple and user-friendly, even for those who are technologically challenged. Cleaning is easy. We have been trying different low-oil coffee beans and have found the Lazazza Top Class to be excellent, even though we always loved dark brews in a drip coffee maker. It’s slightly annoying that it reminds us to empty the grinds since we do that every day and it apparently works on a reminder after a certain # of cups. The hygiene-steam is a great feature. They shute for ground coffee is OK, not as effective as we’d hope. We’ve given away most of our bags of ground as a result.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, I like everything about this product and I hope it will last me a long time. I chose it based on the recommendations of sellers and reviews on the Internet. Thank you for this product.
The coffee tastes definitely better than the 3200 series. However, the ground coffee only works when the brew group is supper clean. I tried to clean the whole brew group then make coffee with pre ground. Then it worked for one time and stopped working. I wasted a lot of pre ground coffee because it kept cancelling to making coffee. Like everyone mentioned, the milk based drinks are not as hot as black coffee, but it's alright.
