Start-up took a lot longer than the guide's suggested 1 minute (for the air to work through the system), and had to google what to do with it (just let it do its thing without the coffee ground holder in place, until the water runs through), but once that was sorted - absolute dream. Runs as smoothly and easily as imaginable, and brews fantastic coffee (if the roast is good), steams even oatmilk within seconds, and cleans up easily. Also looks hella cute
