A super-smart choice in more ways than one, from the grinding of the beans to the frothing of the milk, all of which can be controlled via an app on your smartphone. Impressive stuff. Making an espresso or cappuccino is spot on, as you’d hope – but there are actually 21 coffee recipes you can create. The onboard milk-frother is easy to use and effective, too, plus it self-cleans, which is ALWAYS a win for us. The My Coffee Memory function will save the coffee preferences of up to eight people and it’ll even just give you hot water, too, should anyone dare to ask for tea instead.
