It's by no means the worst coffee or worst coffee machine. But I think there are better options out there. That said we'd love to hear YOUR opinion of it!

If you cant recommend anything better within this price range and automatic then your video is pointless dude! I have this machine and i love it. For that price its a good buy!

Try fresh coffee beans. You should bring your machine to the shop if you are not getting good crema. Mine gives good to great crema and the taste is very good.

Let me start with, I like strong coffee. I've had this machine for two days and feel like this is the most honest, and accurate review that I've seen. Thus far, I cannot get this thing to make a nice strong cup of coffee. I'm going to try a few more adjustments but it may be headed back to Amazon.

What machine would you suggest that is fully automatic (frothing too), self cleaning and no more then $900. I have the 3200 and was thinking of upgrading to the 4200 (I like tech) but if there is something better that matches the same parameters I'd love to know. Or maybe this is the best?

I have the 4300 and it makes good crema. Maybe the beans you are using are not freshly roasted. If your machine is new then it needs to go through many cups of coffee to calibrate

Thank you for the honest review.

Any recommendations for an automatic / superauto machine?

This machine is way too much work to maintain considering what you get out of it. I could never get a decent flavorful coffee even with everything set to strong. It was too weak. Also the work involved in keeping it clean and rinsed and descaled and the brew unit greased etc etc etc was way too much. The Lattego unit didnt make fluffy cappuccino froth….it was basically latte level froth. And as you mentioned about the water tank it constantly needs to be refilled because it’s constantly rinsing the machine in a paranoid sort of way…I mean does it need to rinse when turning it off and then rinse again when turning it on again after not actually using it since it was last turned off? Also, the pucks were soup and not pucks so something wasn’t working properly there either.I was glad I kept my nespresso type machine and separate frother so I returned the automatic machine and started using my old machine which is WAY less work and makes a great flavorful coffee every time for a lot less money.

😬 even that shot that you ran through the Breville looks terrible, to me those coffee beans are stale AF. I have a ECM Synchronika and a Breville Bambino Plus both of them produce great crema even with cheap beans like Lavazza but i am planning to replace the Bambino with a super automatic machine for convenience i dont expect it to taste the same but at least decent without having to waste time weighting, grinding, distributing and tamping for each cup of coffee.

Yhe main reason I have a con is that what it grinds is not what you are brewing,you are brewing from about 2 grinds previous.

Your spot on the coffee it produces is not all that great. I bought it and use it for a couple of months but it's been sitting unused for her the last year.
