- Catchy operating instructions
- Adjustable espresso volume (very simple adjustment process)
- Excellent quality of the espresso
- Smooth operation
- High espresso temperature (= 62.5°C)
- The quality of the material composite could be improved in parts of the model (e.g. on the laterally accessible rotary wheel)
This model from Tchibo stands out from the outside: It is so slim that there is plenty of room for manoeuvre when choosing a suitable place to place it. The model takes a while to really heat up, but in the end rewards consumers with a very solid espresso at a proper temperature.
With the Lapressa, Tchibo has an affordable portafilter machine on sale that doesn't need to hide from the competition. People with small kitchens will be particularly pleased with its compact dimensions. The espresso is prepared well. The milk frother is not quite as convincing.
