Brewing can be done with either store-purchased coffee or with fresh beans that are ground to perfection in the machine’s conical grinder. Fine or coarse grinds can be produced with various degrees of control.
The 64-ounce reservoir is connected to a built-in water filtration system. This system removes chlorine and other water impurities that affect the way coffee or espresso tastes. The stainless steel milk container keeps milk cold for hours and will allow the frothXpress Plus system to make froth or steam milk for the perfect espresso.
Coffee strength and cup size can be chosen by the user. Want a specific type of coffee? Save the setting so you can instantly create the perfect coffee down to strength, cup size and more.

Pros
- Very quiet
- Easy to clean
- A ton of features
- Energy efficient
- Comes with a DVD with tips on brewing, frothing and cleaning
Cons
- Doesn’t work well with oily beans
