My expectations were more or less this: - I want to evenly expanded and warmed milk and not a bubble bath with normal milk underneath - I wanted this "hand-free", ie. No device where I have to use anything, but what makes a button, what I want, when I can do what else - I do not want to build cumbersome apart and then wash items by hand, but can give everything in the dishwasher - There is sufficient milk foam can be produced in one pass that I can drink a really big latte macchiato. And everything fits (for almost a year)! And has exceeded my expectations by the milk foam is really spectacular (I assume 1.5 or 1.8% milk) and a creamy consistency has - simply outstanding.
