Nivona CafeRomatica NICR 960 Coffee Machine
From Manual to Magic: My Life-Changing Coffee Machine Upgrade
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently upgraded from my trusty Nivona CafeRomatica NICR 530 to the Nivona CafeRomatica NICR 960, and it's been a total game-changer. The touchscreen display and pre-programmed recipes make it a breeze to create everything from espresso to latte macchiato. My favorite feature is the 'my coffee' option, which lets me create 10 different variations of my favorite drinks. The machine is also super quiet and has a sleek design that looks great on my countertop. But what really impresses me is the build quality and ease of use - it's like having a personal barista at my beck and call. I've been using it for a week now, and I'm still discovering new features and settings. The machine is also really easy to clean and maintain, which is a big plus for me.
