What we like about Cecotec Power Instant-ccino 20 Chic 01594

  • Makes thick and creamy milk foam easily at the touch of a button
  • Heats up quickly thanks to the built-in Thermoblock system
  • Versatile compatibility with both ground coffee and Nespresso capsule pods
  • Great price-to-performance ratio for a semi-automatic espresso machine
  • Convenient detachable milk reservoir that can be stored directly in the refrigerator
  • Easy to operate with simple, customizable beverage volume settings

What we don't like about Cecotec Power Instant-ccino 20 Chic 01594

  • The machine operates with a noticeably loud noise level during brewing
  • The user manual and initial startup setup instructions are confusing
  • The filter holder detaches at a tight angle under pressure, making it prone to spilling residual water
  • Inconsistent milk foam density and temperature reported by some users
  • The body consists of a lot of lightweight plastic materials rather than premium metals

Verdict

The Cecotec Power Instant-ccino 20 Chic Serie Bianca (01594) is a 1470 W semi-automatic espresso machine that operates with a powerful 20-bar ForceAroma pressure pump and a fast-heating Thermoblock system. It is uniquely versatile, working with both ground coffee and capsules, and features a 1.7-liter removable water tank alongside an integrated, detachable 700 ml Full-Milk tank that lets you store leftover milk in the refrigerator. Main pros include its automated one-touch Instant Cappuccino system that dispenses coffee and milk directly into the cup, an adjustable-height tray to prevent spills, and the CustomCoffee system for programming personalized drink volumes. However, some minor drawbacks are its noisy operation during extraction, the requirement for frequent automated maintenance flushes, and its mostly plastic outer casing which feels less premium than stainless steel alternatives.
