Smart control feedback was positive for the touchscreen, profiles, Bean Adapt, and no-app simplicity; reviewers valued personalization without needing a separate connected app.
Pros: Milk, steam and frothing, Grinder, hopper and dosing system
Cons: Design flaws, Iced / cold-brew function quality
The touchscreen and smart controls were widely praised as handy, responsive and beginner-friendly, though one reviewer disliked not being able to stop a running shot.
Pros: Milk, steam and frothing, App, connectivity and smart control
Cons: Grinder, hopper and dosing system, Iced / cold-brew function quality
Connectivity is useful for customization and remote control, but opinions split because several reviewers found the app slow, clunky, or limited despite praising its control depth.
Pros: Milk, steam and frothing, Overall user experience
Cons: Design flaws, Pot function
Reviewer evidence is mixed: one sees the lack of app or touchscreen as unnecessary, while another says missing app and scheduling features separate it from premium models.
Pros: Espresso and beverage quality, Milk, steam and frothing
Cons: Grinder, hopper and dosing system, Capacity
Connectivity feedback was limited to one reviewer noting the lack of WiFi/app support, while also saying that omission was not important to them.
Pros: Overall user experience, Milk, steam and frothing
Cons: Iced / cold-brew function quality, Accuracy of marketing claims
Connectivity was the most mixed area: some reviewers liked app control and support, while many complained about bugs, slowness, US availability or limited usefulness.
Pros: Overall user experience, Milk, steam and frothing
Cons: App, connectivity and smart control, Design flaws
Connectivity is not a selling point; the one opinionated mention says Bluetooth is not justified by the machine’s limited customization.
Pros: Design, ergonomics and footprint, Milk, steam and frothing
Cons: Speed and time-to-cup, Design flaws
