Hands-on espresso with strong on-screen guidance and fewer dosing and milk variables
It remains a large, expensive portafilter machine rather than a true one-touch bean-to-cup route; independent drink quality, noise, cleaning effort and reliability testing are pending.
What it costs to start
The minimum connected equipment for this route. Required equipment is separated from beans, milk and optional extras.
No separate grinder is required for this machine route. Beans, capsules, filters, milk, scales, cleaning products and optional accessories are excluded. Retailer prices and stock can change before checkout.
Estimate the longer-term cost to keep →What else you need
Required purchases, useful extras and later care supplies are kept separate. A connected product is an evidenced option—not a paid placement or the only valid choice.
Coffee beans · connected example: Square Mile Red Brick
Coffee is required, but this connected bean is an example rather than the only correct choice. Roast and flavour remain personal preferences.
Hario V60 Drip Scale
A model-connected useful extra, not required to operate the machine.
