For tea lovers, it also prepares hot water at different temperature levels. With its solid, height-adjustable dual spout, it can create a speciality coffee – or even two beverages simultaneously – and dispense them into the cups or glasses, at the touch of a button.
The handy cup positioning aid makes it ideal for self-service. The same goes for the large, clearly arranged preparation buttons. Different speciality coffees can be positioned wherever you like on the display, according to your needs. Whether equipped with the standard large water tank or a sturdy fresh water kit, the X8 offers excellent performance whether in mobile use or in a fixed location.

If you have the money, it’s worth it!
I bought this for our breakroom, and it is literally everyone’s favorite thing about our brand-new renovated office (and probably the reason I got a raise this year). If you don’t want to buy the milk containers they have, we usually just stick the plastic milk straw into the milk container we want, make our cappuccino and then wash the straw. It isn’t the best option, but it saves you a few hundred dollars if you use different types of milk.
It is an expensive machine, and the maintenance items for it are also pretty pricey. After talking with their customer service (both times very helpful and informative) I was thinking of using descaling tablets instead of the Clearyl Pro Filter, since it is $65 for a new filter. The one that came with the machine lasted almost 3 months for an office of 11 people, making roughly 20-30 cups on average per day (stil in hybrid mode though, so only 3 days out of the week). Our tap water in the office is supposed to be filtered, but we’ll see how no Clearyl filter affects the taste of the coffee.
Extra cleaning tablets should also be purchased, since you’ll use the included two within the first two months. Milk cleaning tablets go a long way depending on how often you clean the milk system. I try to do so every couple days.
For our office, I typically empty the drip tray and coffee grounds every day, or two days if it hasn’t been used much. I recommend not leaving it for more than 2 days because the dirty water starts to form a film and smell, and coffee grounds can grow mold within a few days.
I hope this helps anyone thinking of buying this machine. We really love ours!
