Despite reading several reviews on this machine that all gave very positive feedback the product has still exceeded my expectations. It is easy to use and makes great coffee. I find the integrated milk frothier particularly useful. It produces creamy froth to create delicious cappuccino. I’m really pleased with the purchase the only problem is I’m now drinking too much coffee.

Brilliant, makes gorgeous coffee once you've read the instructions

I have had this machine for a week now and so far I am very happy with it. It definitely is an improvement on my previous well known brand pod machine. The coffee tastes fantastic however it does take a while to figure out the coffee strength/water ratios to your own taste. Top tip: if you want a longer coffee put hot water into a mug using the frother and then top up with 2 espressos. Using the large cup size setting on a bean to cup machine does extract the coffee a lot more which might not be to everyone's taste. The milk frother works very well and suits the occasional milky coffee drinker. Just ensure that it is rinsed through after each use. This brings me onto maintenance which is a lot more than my pod machine. The manual advises rinsing the brewing unit weekly, personally I do it more often and also clean out the inside of the machine where the unit is stored. Once coffee starts getting into the inner workings of the machine itself you are shortening its lifespan. Ensure you also buy the cleaning tablets, milk system cleaner as well. For the price of this machine it really is excellent and that is why I am giving it 5 stars, yes there are better machines but not for this price.

Easy to prepare a good cup of coffee. Slim design leaves plenty of room on the worktop.

Makes excellent coffee.Very impressed

Great machine, great coffee, easy to use

What a fantastic piece of machinery! So easy to use and produces a top notch coffee. If making an Americano, select a double espresso and have the espresso dial turned to the 10 o'clock position. Whilst waiting for the coffee to dispense, boil a kettle. Once double shot pored, top cup up with boiled water - makes for the most amazing Americano! The milk frother is equally as easy to operate and will have you harnessing your inner barrister making the most fabulous lattes and cappuccinos! A worth while investment and one you will really enjoy! First class service and delivery from AO!

Really easy to set up and use - lights etc. indicate when water or coffee need topped up and the machine emptying.
