According to our semi-automatic espresso machine expert
The Solis Grind & Infuse Pro 115A Black has an integrated coffee grinder, so you can easily make espresso with freshly-ground beans. Pour 250 grams of your favorite coffee beans into the hopper and the integrated cone grinder will do the rest. You can choose from 18 settings and set the cup size yourself. The electronic temperature stabilization ensures an optimal aroma. You won't have to refill the large 2-liter water tank very often, and it allows you to easily make multiple cups of coffee in a row. Milk specialties are prepared with a steam pipe. This will froth the fresh milk until it's nice and velvety. You can use the hot water function for a cup of tea.
Note: the casing of this espresso machine has a glossy finish. High-end build qualityThis piston machine was made with sustainable components. With the heavy stainless-steel casing and the anti-slip legs, the coffee machine will stay firmly put on your countertop while you're making coffee.

I have tested this machine with different beans. Finally came to the conclusion that the machine is rated too high by the reviews. Now it is of course always very personal and it is just what you are used to, how you will experience this machine. If you come from Senseo, this is a special improvement. But, if you are a really critical espresso drinker, then this machine is certainly not worth 4 stars. The machine is too limited for that. And maybe even just the bean grinder. Because, in the end, a grinder largely determines the taste of the final espresso. The consistency of the grinder and the way the beans are ground (cheap grinders cut, very expensive grinders that crush the beans) largely determine what flavor is released in the bean. And there this machine (obviously) scores poorly. And that's not weird. A good grinder, for example a Mazzer Mini with very special grinding discs, costs more than this complete semi-automatic machine alone.
I haven't been able to get an espresso out of this that could earn the designation 'good'. A few times, with certain beans and different grind settings, I got into it, but it never really got 'right'. Therefore 'only' three stars. I think that's true in an absolute sense, but, if you normally drink Senseo, you might find this a bit low-scoring.

Easy to use, especially if you know what to pay attention to such as the temperature, fineness, grind and amount of grind
