    Happy overall

    4/5
    Looks great and works well, though does feel slightly fragile (the plastic casing). The steamer is not all that powerful but for a home machine and for the price I think it's a good product.

    Entry level review and user

    4/5
    This is my first espresso machine so not sure what to expect and apologies if my expectations are too low/high. The instructions that come with it are great, telling you how to prep the machine and use the espresso maker and foamer, even include advice on cappuccino, latte, americano and how to make flat/white milk. The machine is easy to clean and relatively quiet when running, even when warming up. For an entry level machine I think it's pretty good. The only thing that lets it down a bit is the 'good to go' lights go off when processing espresso or steam so not sure if the temperature is consistent. All in all I'm happy with it when comparing prices to others and my own expectation levels. I've used pod machines and a Moka previously but prefer this for taste, cost effectiveness and control over how I make my coffee.

    Alright product

    Easy to use and clean but does leak a bit. Pretty decent considering the low cost.

    Swan retro coffee machine

    4/5
    This coffee machine is to replace a previous device (different manufacturer) which had started working erratically after many years of very good service. The machine makes a very good espresso & americano with a good amount of crema. We drink black coffee so have not tried heating milk with it. It is quite a lightweight machine because it is mostly plastic but is very good value for money.

    Excellent starter machine

    4/5
    Great starter machine for beginners and it really does make a good coffee. It comes with a coffee scoop and 2 insert for the coffee (single or double espresso). Make sure you buy a small stainless steel jug if you want to use the steamer for milk, as there isn't one included. I bought this machine for my husband who wanted to upgrade from using our coffee pod machine. He was delighted with it. It's easy to use and easy to clean after use. Although it is a bit of a faff if you're only making the one coffee! I now realise why it takes baristas so long in our local coffee shop. It definitely is an art. Only 4 stars as it feels a bit cheap... Also it would be better if it got much hotter and if you could warm the cups on top. No grinder, but can easily grind beans first buy hand or using an electric coffee grinder (not included) or buy ready ground coffee which is what we did. Perfectly good machine for the price and I would recommend it if it is your first time using a machine for ground coffee.

    Very nice

    4/5
    Looks like metal but its plastic, instructions not very good to be honest. Nice little machine does use fair bit of water. Downside my normal mugs don't fit under it so disappointed in that as I like drinking out my mugs. Overal good little machine bit stiff and because its plastic tend not to use to much pressure
