It grinds whole beans to order, and it will also take pre-ground coffee if you would rather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHowdens supply the trade only.\u003c\/strong\u003e Without a trade account you cannot buy a Lamona appliance direct. We hold the account, so you can buy it here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order: the housing, and one number we want to flag\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHowdens publish a Minimum Cabinet Size of 600mm\u003c\/strong\u003e and an installation aperture of \u003cstrong\u003e450mm high x 592mm wide x 550mm deep\u003c\/strong\u003e. The appliance body is 450mm high, 594mm wide and 510mm deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe want to be straight with you about those figures.\u003c\/strong\u003e The published aperture width of 592mm is \u003cem\u003e2mm narrower\u003c\/em\u003e than the appliance's own published body width of 594mm, and the aperture height of 450mm is \u003cem\u003eexactly equal\u003c\/em\u003e to the body height. As printed, that leaves no clearance at all, and on a well-behaved built-in you would expect the fascia to overhang the aperture by a good deal more than that. One of those rows is very likely mis-keyed on Howdens' side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTreat the 600mm minimum cabinet size as the figure that matters, build to a standard 600mm housing with a 450mm aperture, and read the installation manual before cutting.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are building the cabinetry from scratch, contact us first and we will get the confirmed aperture from Howdens in writing. We would rather tell you this now than have you cut a hole 2mm too small.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt has a fitted plug\u003c\/strong\u003e - 1350W at 6A on a 1.75m lead - so unlike a built-in oven it needs a socket, not an electrician. Make sure there is a spare socket in the cabinet behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat we would tell you in the showroom\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA burr grinder, not a blade grinder.\u003c\/strong\u003e Burrs crush the bean to an even particle size, which is the single biggest factor in whether the coffee tastes like coffee or like disappointment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeans or pre-ground.\u003c\/strong\u003e Useful if someone in the house drinks decaf - you can put ground decaf in without emptying the bean hopper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15 bar pump pressure and an integrated frothing nozzle\u003c\/strong\u003e, so milk drinks are done on the machine rather than in a separate jug.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA hot water spout\u003c\/strong\u003e, which means tea and americanos without boiling a kettle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA 1.8 litre removable tank.\u003c\/strong\u003e Removable is the right answer for a built-in - you fill it at the sink rather than pouring water into a machine at chest height. Note it is \u003cstrong\u003etank-fed, not plumbed\u003c\/strong\u003e: no water connection required, but the tank does need filling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight programmes, six-cup capacity, LCD display and touch controls\u003c\/strong\u003e, with an internal grounds container so the puck bin lives inside the machine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThree things we are not going to claim\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe drinks list.\u003c\/strong\u003e Howdens publish a count of eight programmes but never name the eight drinks.

We are querying it. It does not affect the product identity - this is the only Lamona coffee machine and the product code matches exactly - but if you are planning a cabinet run around a 660mm dimension, do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA water filter.\u003c\/strong\u003e Howdens' specification says \u003cem\u003eFilter Type: No Filters\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDescale: Manual\u003c\/em\u003e.
