First-hand
From this set
The semi-automatic model with the burr grinder makes it easy to get the right grind size for my morning espresso.
I use the KF8 fully automatic machine for quick lattes when I do not have time to manual froth.
The 2.5L tank on the porcelain white model means I only have to refill the water every few days.
