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.

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 ??

Great coffee maker, equals my old delinghi one but at a fraction of the cost

Very stylish and functional makes a good cup of coffee-better than the pods as you can make coffee to your own personal strength -and a lot cheaper

This coffee machine is amazing the coffee is excellent One reviewer mentioned plastic taste but it is only in initial use very pleased with this

It came in very good packaged and in time and I loved it.

The retro look was a big winner for my girlfriend and her being an ex barista she found it easy to use and makes excellent coffee.
