The verdict
Decent everyday automatic. Craft espresso lives elsewhere.
A slim, easy morning bean-to-cup for black drinks and basic milky coffees—capable every day, but not a latte-art machine and still behind a dialled-in Sage Barista Express for espresso craft.
Typical UK street price when available: about £349.99 (historically list ~£699.99). As of 11 September 2026, mainstream UK listings are limited—confirm the live checkout before you buy.
