Pros

  • Touchscreen guides grind, brew, and milk for every drink
  • ThermoJet is ready in 3 seconds - no waiting to brew
  • Auto milk texturing with adjustable temp and foam levels
  • Hundreds less than the Touch Impress with the same core workflow

Cons

  • No assisted tamping - you still dose and tamp by hand
  • Thermoblock can't brew and steam simultaneously
  • Grinder struggles with very light roasts
  • Superseded by the Touch Impress, so fewer retail discounts
