Been a month since I got the machine. It's elevated the coffee experience for sure. Earlier we had the Morphy Richards drip filter for close to 14 years so yeah great upgrade. It's reasonably quick and not very involved in terms of cleanup. The frother gets the job done when I need to use it.
Two improvements or suggestions:
1. The frother stem is short. I also bought the suggested frothing mug but that's just been sitting on the shelf coz whis going to froth like half a litre of milk for a short cappuccino?
2. The porta filter is kindof flimsy and I suspect it'll be the first thing that breaks down. Would appreciate if a reasonably priced spare porta filter could be added to the list of suggested bundle products. The ones available on Amazon cost upwards of 3 K dfor a decent one... Might as well but another machine when the filter breaks. So yeah an easy replacement filter would be a good addition
3. I like my coffee strong for me the machine is able to do roughly half a mug or maybe 50ml of extraction at best quality. Only if you're pulling short shots should you use this for two cups else stick to a half mug and reload the porta filter for the second if you need one...
Overall a great experience, availability of spares and replacement parts will help me use this machine for the next 12 years... Just like I used my previous drip filter...
