- Manual milk frothing gives hands-on control over milk drinks.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the title identifies the colour as Beige, while the product details state Cream, and the listed dimensions of 10.2D x 11.4W x 12.4H centimetres appear unusual for a coffee machine. The technical entries are reproduced as supplied. Confirm the exact colour and dimensions for the selected listing. The 240 Volts detail also differs in format from the manufacturer's stated range of 220 to 240 Voltage by 50 to 60 Hertz, so check the configuration for your market. The 1.4-litre component description is explicit, but the listing does not provide a clear accessory-by-accessory package inventory.
