Question 1

Do you really need to use the filter or will Brita filtered water do the job?

Accepted Answer

My Cino just arrived last week and I've only had time to set it up this morning. The manufacturers instructions indicate if you plan to use the machine daily you should replace the filter monthly, every 2 months if you use it less frequently.

From the manufacturer filters cost £13 for 6, i.e. £26/year, which is not horrific if you drink as much coffee as we do. It comes with 3 filters.

I haven't looked into buying the official filters elsewhere yet, but I believe there is a compatible filter on amazon that is just under £14 for a pack of 12. Though to be honest I will potentially be sticking with the official ones as I don't find that pricing too ridiculous. There doesn't seem to be any forced filter replacement built into the machine - i.e. it doesn't know if you replaced the filter or not.

Question 2

how long (how many cups) can this go on for before losing pressure, or needing topping up?

Accepted Answer

I haven't measured how many cups in one go, but we make 30 or more before the water needs topping up. The steam is pretty constant as it recharges as you use it.

Question 3

How long does it take to heat milk? ideally, a large quantity, around a litre. Thanks.

Accepted Answer

We use alot and the tank during 2 or 3 days... To heat up 1or 2 minutes...for heating up a half liter milk its also about 2 min... Its powerful maschine

Question 4

Can this fill 2 x 400ml cups in one go?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. It takes much longer than for one cup, and both the heat and texture won't be the same all over, unless you pour the milk from pitcher to pitcher and still then it won't be as good as if you just heated for 1 cup. If it's because you want to use it for industrial use let's say in a cafe, I would def. Recommend the big espresso mascines instead with built in steamer. With that said, I love my dualit milk steamer as a private person. Couldn't ask for better and fast steam to make beautiful latte art
