No, the machine cannot switch on automatically at a set time in the morning. The available information only mentions automatic switch-off after 15, 30, 60 or 180 minutes of standby time.
The milk container (LatteGo) can be removed from this coffee machine and does not have to remain permanently attached. The machine can also be operated without a milk container, as the milk container can be removed for frothing milk and is not absolutely necessary for preparing coffee beverages without milk.
No, there is no direct milk preparation, you would still have a hot espresso as a side effect if you remove the cup with the Cafe Latte function when the milk has been dispensed with the steam and then place an espresso cup underneath😉.
This automatic coffee machine is designed to use fresh coffee beans. It does not have a specific compartment for soluble coffee. However, it does have an option for using coffee powder via a bypass doser, so that soluble coffee or ground coffee can be used if required.
