As ex-baristas we’re pretty picky about our coffee! Tried plenty of budget friendly machines and so far this is a clear winner – even above your more expensive ones. Highly recommend!
Ok so this machine is great. We have only had it for a few days but love the coffee we got a costa blend to start and get used to the machine.
One really important thing to note! I nearly sent this back due to the delay/long wait to make your next coffee! The manual has no info that tells you as a must to release all the steam from the wand before the machine allows you to pour your next coffee. I found this info on another retailers site, super lucky as i started return but then tried releasing the steam and whey i could move onto the next coffee.
We had to keep this machine as it is pretty slim, looks good and pours lots of great coffee! The matt colour of this machine is really stylish also.
All in all you have to buy this!
The manual is not the great as doesn’t tell you to let steam out i guess you could think your machine has a fault like i did.
RELEASE THE STEAM
FROM THE WAND IS A MUST BEFORE YOUR NEXT COFFEE!
Nobody told me that :). ENJOY!!
after one of my previous more expensive espresso machines i accidently droped it while moveing it to clean under i was so gutted and pissed. with more priority bills to pay i could only get a small shaker coffee expresso machine for around 35. the small little machine is so good even though it is only 5 bar pressure it made a perfect coffee each time. The only issue i had some times was i am the only main coffee drinker in my home on some rare times my daughter would ask for a coffee and u can only make 2 cups max at each time so when i had family or friends over and only can do 2 at one time it i had to wait 30 mins for machine to call down as tank is attached to the machine and cant see the water level as built in so some friends had to either wait or buy costa on there way over. i decided to up grade my machine but loved my little salter machine i wanted a bigger machine but still on a budget of 100 i did not think i would fined a bigger machine in my low budget but i did and really love it i dont need to fill machine up with water on every time i use the coffee machine and the machine is very quick waiting for machine to heat up to useing milk frother my old machine would take 10 to 15mins from start to finish for a perfect coffee this machine only take 5 mins or less depending how many cups you are doing but mostly all my guest can sit down at same time to the perfect hot coffee. i am going to purchase anougter machine and store it away as i am an accident prone and just love dropping breakable items. thank you seller for quick deliver and hassle free. for anyone looking for a expresso machine but like myself who is on a budget or not this machine is perfect and want to make a perfect coffee each time then this machine is for you and one more detail i nearly forgot to put it in this review the milk froather you can contol the tempeture which over the years on previous machines you cant control your tempeture. thank you seller from happy coustomer and friends.
Got this machine for my dad, he wanted one because I am a trained barista and he wanted actual good coffee rather than instant and he was tired of his hot plate jug of filter coffee breaking. With this machine, he can have his black coffee and my mum can have a nice latte.
I can see how some people might become frustrated by the milk frothing, but it just takes practice! don’t give up!
It also does not come with a jug for milk frothing, so you will want to buy one separately.
Be aware that standard mugs might be too tall for this machine if you don’t want to fiddle around with moving the cup after the espresso pours.
The machine is very easy to clean, I would definitely recommend refilling with filtered / distilled water to avoid limescale build up if you live in an area with hard water.
The tamper for the coffee is a bit weak and I would say getting a weighted/steel one would work much better for the best espresso pour.
i did INITIALLY get sent a machine that was faulty, but the help service was lovely and they replaced it immediately:) the machine is lovely!
all in all, this is fantastic for an at-home machine! my parents love it, easy to use for many disabilities (including various support needs levels of autism), and it’s always a funny bonding experience trying to teach your 60 year old father how to froth milk!! Now I’m not the only barista in the family!
Previously used pod coffee machines but they always break! Decided to try this and didn’t expect it to be as amazing as it is! Easy to use and coffee tastes great! For the price, this is fantastic
An elegant quite simple-to-use espresso machine that can also make decent Americano coffee by re-running the espresso 2-cup process through the used coffee grounds two or three or more times to fill a full-sized mug (the way that Italians used to make it for US personnel). I have some nice low wide mugs that fit without having to remove the drip tray, but that also works. Recommended machine.
I fancied an espresso maker for years but never could justify the cost of the fancy machines. The manual ‘press’ type things just didn’t appeal. This, it makes good strong espresso. This makes me very happy for the 2 – 3 times a week I use it.
I work at a cafe, so I know how to use an espresso machine. I wanted to buy a small one for my home, tho. This one fits nicely in my small kitchen and makes great coffee! Sure, it’s not as professional and quick as the one I use at work and it does seem to make a bit of a weird noise when working, but seems to do the job. thanks
While I didn’t want to break the bank buying an espresso machine, this fit the bill. It’s small enough not to take up too much space. Works well and is relatively simple to use, while also being simple to clean. This has allowed quicker coffees at home, while also being able to experiment with other core types.
This has gone down a treat in the house, and does make a nice coffee.
Very easy to use and makes perfect coffee everytime. I like this machine because the buttons are not cheap and flimsy like other expensive ones I’ve owned and pack up within 3 days of receiving it because of the buttons. This is touch controls and for the money you can’t complain. This is a great machine on the market right now and I’ve nothing bad to say about it.
This little coffee makes such amazing esspressos. I actually don’t think I had better coffee( with exception of when in Italy). It makes such a good layer of form on the coffee. The milk frotter works fine, too. I don’t use it very often as i am an not too keen on milyon coffee.
It is quite quiet. The big brand one i had before was really noisy and annoyed me.
The litter drip tray comes off and easy to clean.
Couple of things to be aware of;
The water tank is quite small, so you need to fill it regularly.
Also you can’t fit big mugs for your coffee. This doesn’t bother me as i drinks small cup of esspresso usually, anyway.
Overall, great value for money.
It’s a good product. Does what it says on the tin though there are a couple of things that could be better.
1. The coffee keeps pouring unless you stop it.
2. Need shallow cups or else won’t fit. Have removed the tray now to make room for a mug.
3. Needs to be higher up so you can fit a mug under the milk frother.
Makes a great coffee once finding the right srrength of ground coffee. Easy to use. Downside, milk frother arm does not have much movement & the black.nozzle constantly falls off. The 15 bar pressure is good although it does take a good 5 minutes to reach correct milk pressure, so allow plenty of time to crwate a good latte.
