First one was faulty but returned it for a replacement. Second one works well, albeit a very flimsy basic plastic construction. But it makes great coffee and is quite hot despite what other people’s reviews have said. I don’t use the milk frother so can’t comment on that part, but if you just want a basic coffee maching for little money this is the one!
I was skeptical about this, given the price. It is a perfectly good coffee brewer and capable milk frother. My coffee is easily cafe quality, especially when using a very finely ground coffee like lavazza. Don’t use the cheap supermarket coarsely ground rubbish.
I used to use a nespresso machine but now realise where I was going wrong. They are very wasteful and expensive.
good value and ideal for the smaller kitchen, glad I got it.by the way I don,t write a reviw for all that I get I mean how do you rate a screw or a nail?
For the price offered this is a Good buy ?? compared to the other machines around 100.00s or so , it is a copy of the spanish DEMOKA machine which is far superior altogether , the machine is very simple to use ? certainly for 1st time users !!>>> The steamer is very low powered & puffs out steam gently so you have to wait & the coffee you have just brewed is cooling down ?? plus the fact if you are brewing for 3/5 persons it is a long wait & the coffee cools to much !!
Having Brewed for many years the machine has a few Silly points >>the coffee container has a nipple that locks into the holder so when you have brewed once & you want to brew again the container is HOT & you want to get the used coffee grains out to brew again it is now messy & fiddly,
the coffee spoon & tamper is all in one stick <<
So the boiler for the water is low powered !!
there is only 1x coffee container most machines offer more do you can do a single cup /espresso /etc >>mean .
the coffee container is a lata type where you get a very creamy foam on the top of your coffee ?? this is delicious & cannot be beaten ? but if you had a 2nd container you could do an espresso/black without the foam ??
the Clear water container is at the back & slides down to seal in the body of the machine ? this is a nice feature & easy to fill up ,
the machine is a bit lightweight & when fixing the coffee holder into the body to make coffee it tends to shift around a bit ,
because i am used to using Gaggia’s / which are more sturdier & certainly the Demoka which weighs in at about 5 kgs & has a steamer like a jet engine the Gaggia as well ?? i am spoilt !!
Well done Amazon for offering a machine at a good Price & a back up service as well 2 years guarantee
why pay 100.00/130 .00s for more steam /less quirks ..the choice is yours ??
& of course AMAZON allows these comments to be seen on their web site unlike others , so its a win situation for the Purchaser ……Enjoy …jewells
