I was really sceptical about buying this as it seemed so much cheaper than other machines and after using my brothers super expensive one for a while. It’s actually so much better than I’d imagined. Super easy to use and take apart to clean. Makes perfect coffee and froths the milk really well. If anyone has issues cleaning the milk frother this is normal with any coffee machine- it just needs wiping down and cleaning straight after use with a damp cloth. Would 100% recommend this machine.
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
It Has Made Good Espresso Coffee’s For Me Since Purchase
