Latte Select Coffee Machine Review

The Melitta Deutschland Latte Select delivers a persuasively personalised experience via its customisation options, with the added convenience of being able to make two impressively enjoyable beverages simultaneously. Having two different bean roasts in the hopper is a real advantage. Some may find the maximum temperature of 69°C for milk based drinks not quite warm enough, excluding them from this model, so it might be worth doing some at-home testing of liquid at that temp to see if it's for you. The emphasis on easy cleaning/maintenance, and in our case descaling every 1-2 years, further enhances its appeal to us. Melitta’s Latte Select is a machine with versatility and design features that make it easy to interact with. It’s undoubtedly a top contender in the fully automated category.

Early starts when hosting for family and friends can be challenging when it comes to coffee making. Even with the advanced mechanism of pod based machines you still need to change coffee types and milk pods over. However, the Melitta Latte Select coffee machine announces the seemingly blissful simpl

➡️ Kärcher K4 Pressure Washer Review 🧽🫧🚿

An upper mid-tier level entry that isn’t in any way watered down in power or functionality. The Karcher K4 ‘Premium Power Control Car & Home’ is a formidable cleaning companion that combines sleek design, user-friendly features such as the controller’s LED display and auto-mix, and showed impressively speedy cleaning performance on our boardwalk style composite decking/pathway. It offers overall top value through the bundle of useful and well made accessories for car and home. 💦

Renowned for their outstanding performance and design combinations in the world of pressure washers, the Karcher K4 is a model that sits in the middle of the line-up. Smaller, lighter, yet yielding a water cooled motor (delivers 1900 PSI/130bar) which normally appears in their higher up models, this

Sage Barista Express Impress Review - A redefining moment for ‘at home’ coffee making. By automating the grind and tamp process via the Impress™ Puck System, it will certainly find a new audience that want to be involved in their coffee making process, but don’t mind outsourcing the building blocks that create a truly velvety full bodied barista grade espresso, which is enjoyable on its own or becomes the perfect base for milk based drinks.

We’ve been using the precursor to the Impress, the Sage Barista Express, at the studio for over 4 years and have calculated it’s made over 10,000 coffees to date. It’s working as well now as the day it arrived; a testament to the design in both form and function.

Kärcher LMO 18-36 Cordless Lawnmower Review: Compact, yet punchy - Whilst the LMO 18-36 is brightly coloured and slim in design, it packs a punch in the 18V mower scene, and for routine grass cutting it does it really well. It’s a shame no battery level indicator is available for an immediate readout on the handle and that the handles don’t fold away via a click-snap mechanism, but other than this you have a straight set of well thought out and useful features, a battery that informs how long it will take to change, impressive edge cutting, a robust build and a 25-30 minute runtime.
