A MORE PERSONAL START

Find your coffee routine.

Start with the way you want to make coffee. Explore a few documented examples, then check the full setup before you decide.

Ground coffee

Prepare your own shot. Whole beans generally need a separate suitable grinder and counter space.

Built-in grinder

Grind beans in the machine. Controls and milk workflows still vary by model.

Capsules
