Milk texture earned praise for silky microfoam and good cappuccinos, including oat milk performance, but reviewers repeatedly called the steam wand slower or lighter-duty than higher-end systems.

Cons: Design flaws, Capacity
Milk and frothing were only lightly evaluated; one owner noted the lack of a built-in frother but did not personally consider it a major drawback.
