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!!
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
This has gone down a treat in the house, and does make a nice 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.
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.
