No need to pay hundreds of pounds for an espresso machine when this machine does exactly the same job. Call me a control freak but with this machine I decide which brand of coffee I use and how much and when to stop the flow. The milk frother is easy to use too, but don’t forget it can triple in volume. The instructions are all in diagram form so as long as you carefully follow the instructions for the first time it’s really easy to use. The cleaning instructions are quite comprehensive too all the components come apart for easy cleaning. I haven’t tried the ESE coffee pods yet I’m still having too much fun testing all the different ground coffees. I feel like a proper barista now Its a fabulous machine and I love it ??

I'm no coniseur when it comes to coffee but I was really starting to dislike the taste of my pod coffees. So I did a bit of research and decided on this machine as an upgrade from my pod one. A few errors and a few successful drinks later. I'm loving it. Yes still learning and had to watch a few YouTube videos , but so much nicer than the pod coffees. Takes a few minutes longer but worth it.

Love it, makes fabulous coffee just like I get in Italy

Great machine. Easy to use. Would recommend to anyone. When I first used it though it took a good while for the water to filter through. Thought I’d got a reject, which is normally my luck. But all is fine! Brilliant machine! I can’t stop drinking coffee. Think I have a problem

Neat and efficient, makes a super cup of coffee. Easy to use and keep clean. I had my last De Longhorn for 11 years before it gave up! Great brand.

Really impressed with this coffee machine, well worth the money. Simple to use. Could have come with milk frothing jug though.

Slightly different to my old Coffee maker(same make), but followed instructions and perfect coffee. Got a bit clever ended up throwing 3 lots away. Reread instructions, now after doing it by the book I am making perfect coffee every time. Love it can't do without proper coffee

Great machine for the price. Just make sure you really push the water container down when filling.
