This is a coffee maker with very extensive options. You can make a multitude of coffees such as a regular 'coffee', americano (he really does a shot of espresso first and then tops it up with clean hot water), ristretto; milk specialties such as cappuccino and latte macchiato and even some 'cold brews' such as iced coffee. I have tried different variants and will tell you more about my experiences with this multifunctional device below. First the ease of use and design: the device has a nice appearance and looks stylish. The chrome edges may be a bit exaggerated and will not be to everyone's taste. The chrome is immediately full of fingerprints. Other than that, in my opinion it is a beautiful design. Operation is carried out using touch buttons and the operation is very intuitive. On top of the device there is a bean compartment that is closed airtight with a rubber edge so that the aromas of your beans are preserved as much as possible. The disadvantage of this compartment is that the entrance to the coffee grinder is located in a poorly accessible corner of the container, with the result that the coffee beans do not flow there automatically. So you have to push the coffee beans towards the mouth a few times per load to prevent the grinder from running out of beans prematurely. When making the coffee, you immediately notice that there are many options to make your own settings. You can choose the temperature (default 'average' but I choose 'hot'), amount of coffee and amount of water and degree of grind. The regular coffees are very tasty. It has a modest crema layer and the taste is nice and full. It is not yet a full, complex espresso that you get from a professional machine, but it is very solid for daily use. When we go to the iced coffees, I'm actually a fan of that too. I've never really looked into it, but I get the idea. With the beautiful weather of the past few days, it was a nice change from the warm variants. What I am less satisfied with is the milk preparations. A cappuccino is boring and the foam on top disappears before you have a chance to drink it. Basically you just force a coffee with warm milk into it, not my taste. The latte macchiato already gives a little more body to the foam and I think it tastes better again. However, I have the feeling that the LatteGo is not a high-flyer in that respect. Shame. Overall I am satisfied with this device for my purposes, but if I drank more milk-based drinks I think I would continue looking for another device.

Coffee machine makes delicious coffee. The negative points in other reviews are correct, but everything can be solved.
Such as the drip tray is on the small side! True, but if you put a glass underneath it when rinsing, it does not fill up.
Highly recommended!
