Potential Drawbacks
Some customers reported issues. One noted: "I love this machine and it makes gorgeous coffee. However, I purchased it in August and after 8 months the milk container has cracked. I will replace the milk container but at £30 that is not cheap." Another said: "I find that the coffee comes out pretty thin like watery? I feel it could be more concentrated."
