If you want to make great coffee and are prepared for the little bit more trouble it takes to use a manual machine then this would be perfect. Good price and very fast delivery.

I'll never need to purchase an ice coffee again.

What a cracking espresso machine .

Really impressed with the machine itself makes a lovely coffee...if you find the right beans! I did try supermarket shelf ones initially but these are not really the freshest and the grinder did clog after the second bag so I would recommend ordering online from a company that roast to order, since getting these I’ve had no issues. I found it quite simple to use but I am a trained barista however it is relatively straightforward if you spend a little time getting used to it, reading the manual and don’t be afraid of it! Cleaning again to the untrained person will seem long winded however it is necessary to keep your machine functioning as it should and it takes maybe 5 minutes at the end of the day. I keep a small 1 inch soft paint brush on top to dust off the coffee grinds from the grinder and drip tray to keep it looking clean! I wasn’t impressed with the jug that came with it, it has no thermometer and I think paying this sort of money for the complete package the jug should have one on, these can be obtained for a few pounds if you search for barista thermometer, Well worth it as burnt milk is not nice!! The only other negative I have found is you cannot heat your milk while your coffee is dispensing which if you are making more than one is a bit of a pain! Overall I’m really happy with the machine and would recommend if you are looking for this standard of home coffee machines

Well we’ve waited a while to get a good coffee machine, Barista is our new baby(well my husbands) Experimenting with lots of coffees, as you do. It makes a good cup, easy to use, easy to clean and gives a good froth from the steam wand. Excellent quality.

Having been a barista but not wanting to spend the money of a plumbed in machine this is the perfect in between. It takes a bit of trial and error to get the coffee you way you like it with the grind of bean but the crema that is produced when you get it correct is fantastic. The only downsides are the heat of the espresso produced is not as hot as I am used to and the steam wand not producing the same amount of steam as a professional machine. This does not however detract from the machine as the coffee is lovely when you get used to this and compensate your style for it. Love it.

I've been looking for one of these for a very long time. Having tried the usual off the shelf machines I was never satisfied. From day one this was my best purchase in years. Great coffee everytime. It's not fool proof but trial and error will produce dividends.

Great coffee machine of high quality and really easy to prepare all our favourite drinks. I’ve used a Gaggia machine before but this is much better. Love the built in grinder and we are able to have great freshly ground coffee in an instant. The display on the model is really straightforward and helpful. Love it .
