I am very pleased with my new Swan Retro Expresso Coffee Machine. It is so easy to use and makes excellent coffee every time. It needs to be flushed through with hot water before making coffee for the first time. This is to get rid of any odours that can be present, since manufactures testing. You will notice that the water coming through from the flushing is slightly tinted and eventually it will come thtough crystal clear. Always make sure you keep the water tank beween maximum and low level and always give it a quck flush through with hot water before making your next coffee. This will ensure that your coffee will be at the right temperature when you make your next cup. I prefer to use coffee beans, rather than ready ground coffee, but you need a decent burr grinder to be able to grind your beans on a fine setting, if you want a good expresso. For Latte, Flat White or Cappachino, you can use ready ground coffee, but self ground coffee will give better results. Always make sure you clean tour machine after use, by doing a quick flush through with hot water and make sure you keep the milk frothing wand clean after heating milk, by wiping it with a damp cloth to remove any milk that will appear on the outside of the wand and blow it through with hot steam to keep the nozzle clear. It might not be the best Expresso Coffee Machine on the market, but it is certainly a good machine for the money. This is definitely a good buy and with a good choice of colours to choose from, so you can match it to suit your kitchens decor. The retro look of this machine, really makes it stand out above the rest of the machines of the market. All in all, a very good coffee maker, pleasing to look at and so easy to use.

Purchased for my daughter who loves coffee. Firstly It is a beautiful piece of equipment; interesting retro style which is easy to clean and looks wonderful on your worktop. Easy to use, makes delicious coffee and the frothed can be used to make hot chocolate too. I would definitely recommend. Looks very expensive but really good value

Amazing

After looking through many reviews on many different expresso coffee machines under £150, I decided that out of all of them (about 10 different models) this machine, the Swan Retro SK22110GN Green, came out tops for quite a few reasons. 1, This model with its retro look, stands out above all other square looking machines. 2,Good choice of colours to choose from 3, Very reasonably priced. 4, Looks more expensive than it actually is, because of its design. 5, The price, and ease of use. Finally it comes well packed with good easy to understand instructions. and is very easy to use. Follow the instructions before you actually start brewing your first cup, and you can't go wrong. I flushed the system through several times before making my first cup, this gets rid of any odours that may be present on any new product. I am not a black coffee person, nor is my wife, we both prefer Lattee/Cappuchino, and this machine makes them, just as nice as any high street coffee shop. A few tips to make good hot coffee. Use the double shot if you like it strong and place your mug/cup under the puk, having first warmed the cup using hot water. Once it has finished brewing, about 20 seconds, use a stainless steel jug to warm and froth your milk to about 65degrees Celsius. Pour the hot milk directly into your mug/cup of expresso coffee and finish off with a frothy top. So pleased with this machine, its stylish, simple to use and makes a great cup of coffee, ant time of the day. I think I chose well with this Swan Expresso Machine.

Great product does exactly what it says it does and looks stylish too! Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant, just what I was looking for, not big or to small, and makes frothy milk, cream, have a mini barista bar in my back garden. You do not need a big fancy ass all singing and dancing coffee machine.... This one is perfect and a fabulous price, I actually had to double check to make sure I was right on the price. Very well worth it.

very good coffee machine. I like the retro look. But the coffee it makes is great. I'm glad I made this choice and I'm not sorry

Can't espresso how Great this little coffee machine is. Left me frothy at the mouth. It won't leave you feeling flat white, so don't leave it too latte to bag yourself this amazing deal ??
