That looks wonderful.

Bought 3 years ago. There were three models.

Cheaper version - makes black coffee automatically but have to froth your own milk
Our version - automated all types coffee
Dearest version - Bluetooth remote control.

I read some reviews and some find it doesn't heat hot enough. Would it be possible to heat the milk in the microwave first then use the hotter milk?

It's a zero birthday and wedding anniversary for me next week. Amd I have to go to HN today for ear buds for him. Hmmmm.

I am going to buy a coffee machine and grinder for home. Unfortunately the accountant says it costs too much to run through the company as an office machine, bugga. Never mind I have a few office upgrades in mind. This is possibly a research project for @Denali . I am looking at a Profitec 500 machine or jump up to an ECM TECHNIKA V PID PROFI with flow control valve. I know what I should buy but the cost is making the decision difficult. Then you have to match it with a decent grinder. I have resisted the coffee reseller influence and looking at a Mazzer Mini G, a big step-up from my initial ivestigations (half the price) but I figure I will not regret a professional machine but will regret a machine at half the price that leaves me wanting more. Who makes coffee at home with a good espresso machine?

How much is too much?

Once the coffee is dispensed the cup is not quite full. Then there is a prompt to clean the nozzle. I leave my cup under the nozzle and activate the cleaning cycle momentarily (maybe 3-4 pumps) which dispenses boiling hot water through the nozzle into the cup and heats the coffee even more.

I also use “thermos” style double glazed glasses that keeps the beverage hotter for longer
