What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives conflicting power figures: 1450 watts in the details and 1550W in an item-type description. The exact accessory bundle is also inconsistent: the included-components field names a milk frother, while feature copy lists a 350ml milk jug, brush and single and double filters. Confirm the selected listing's power rating and package contents before buying. Cold Brew in under 5 minutes is a manufacturer claim, not an independently verified result.

Frequently asked questions

Does this machine have a built-in grinder?

Yes. The listing identifies an integrated coffee grinder and specifies 15 grind settings.

Can it make cold brew?

Cold Brew is one of the five listed drink selections. The manufacturer claims cold extraction takes under 5 minutes, but that timing is not independently verified.

Is milk frothing automatic?

The listing describes a manual My LatteArt steam wand, so users handle milk frothing themselves.

What accessories are included?

The included-components field names a milk frother, while feature text lists a 350ml milk jug, cleaning brush and two filters. The package descriptions do not agree, so confirm the contents for the selected listing.
