What you can pour directly before preparing other beans for 1 serving with very good like the idea of a compartment for the main beans to have as coffee and another small compartment in the. I use this for espresso beans.
The machine grinds every time empty, so getting the bean is used which is in the shaft. The Barista T does not do that
Espresso I do not drink so often, and with the serving tray, the beans are fresh from the lift sealed can and lose as no / little Armo
Even the milk system works very well.
