Would you like barista worthy coffee, but you don't know much about it or don't want to do too much work? Then I recommend this piston machine. The device has a touchscreen display that walks you through all the steps. In addition, the automatic steam pipe froths milk for you. In fact, you hand over all the work. I did find that the device makes a lot of noise, but that should not spoil the fun.
Make it ready for use I take the device out of the box and I see that all kinds of accessories are included. The bean grinder is integrated in the device. I easily click this on the top. When I turn on the machine, the device immediately goes through all kinds of steps with me. For example, there is an accessory checklist that allows me to see whether everything is included. I also set the time and prepare the device for use. What immediately struck me is that you indicate which type of milk you mainly use. Vegetable milk or cow's milk for example. It adjusts the steam and temperature to this. I am very curious about this.
Touch screen display The device therefore has a touchscreen display. This display goes through all the steps with me. What I really like, for example, is that the machine gives a kind of barista course. He explains all the steps how I make an espresso and froth milk. I find this very useful for those who still have little knowledge of a piston machine.
Pre-programmed coffee recipes Different coffees are shown on the display. This is very unique with piston machines, since you normally determine the proportions per recipe yourself. Here the machine does that for you. This way, you can press a coffee of your choice and the device will start grinding the coffee. This makes quite a noise. I push the coffee myself with the built-in tamper. This is the lever on the left. After this I place the filter holder in the machine and it starts making coffee.
Gives you feedback After I brew an espresso, the piston machine gives me feedback for the best espresso. For example, it remembers the correct dosage, but says that next time less or more ground coffee is needed for the espresso or which grind size is best to use.
Automatic steam pipe The steam wand automatically froths the milk for me. Not many piston machines do that. He asks in advance which type of milk I use. He then adjusts the steam and temperature. There is a thermometer at the bottom that measures the temperature for the best foam. After use, I clean the steam pipe with a cloth.

After 2 types of beans and several wasted cups to set up the machine, we still don't have good coffee. The device produces inconsistent shots, where with the same setting there is sometimes a thick crema layer (too thick) and other times a thin edge of crema on the espresso. The espresso is always too acidic or too bitter, but we have not yet found the golden setting. The espresso is tasty enough to be used in a milk drink, but I like to drink a double espresso and it doesn't come out well. It also does not matter which grinding degree we set, a double espresso comes out to about 30-40ml (depending on how much coffee exactly is that inconsistent crema layer). By the way, we always give it a few cups of "chance" per grinding degree, because some grind remains in the grinder after you change the setting, but in vain. 2.5 kilos of coffee later, no nice espresso yet (but delicious flat whites).
