number of options. Everything can be programmed, the abundance of variations of drinks with milk is especially striking: nothing can be tested here. You can, of course, trust the factory settings, but it is very interesting, and most importantly, not at all difficult to experiment!

An espresso is created with a thick, coffee-colored crema.

Brewing speed 40 ml – 32,7 sec.

The temperature of the drink ranged from 55 to 70 ° C, the average – 59-60 ° C.

Cappuccino was made in automatic mode. No complaints about the quality of the milk foam. The only disadvantage – it is not possible to see how much milk is left in the container through the opaque walls. Coffee machine continues to work in the absence of milk, giving out steam instead of milk. Because of this a few cups of the drink didn’t work out.

Preparation of two cups starts by pressing the selection button twice. An espresso is made by turning on the grinder, then pouring a small amount of coffee into the first cup, then pouring a small amount into the second cup, then topping up the cups in turn. Note that you can prepare 2 drinks at once with milk foam.

When we saw the display glowing with lots of symbols, we thought that we would spend at least a week trying to understand how to use this “rocket”. In fact, everything was very simple: turn the Rotary encoder, the display shows tips, when you select the desired drink just press the button.
