I bought this machine as it was similar in general appearance to a cookworks machine i had used successfully for years, basically the design is a reliable one! But this swan machine has a modern frozen-matt type finish so looks really up to date. IMO. The steam wand works well to heat milk, but you have to be careful otherwise you get big bubbles. The coffee strains beautifully too.. Me and my wife love it!

We've only been using the machine for a week, buy so far so good. Nice stylish look on the shelf. Coffee is very good. Frother is extra fun for hot chocolates too!

Things about it could be better such as a directional arrow to help you put the portafilter in correctly, and a larger gap between the portafilter and the drip tray would be good - a normal sized mug will not fit! Yet to use the milk frother so cannot comment. But, that being said, it is a great little machine at a bargain price and looks great in our kitchen.

Very attractive design and easy to use with ground coffee,I have not used pods but will do so in the future, I’m not sure what pods to use as that information is not given in the product booklet. Overall a classy looking machine and not to large.

Good machine, really easy to set up, fits perfectly in kitchen. Very stylish

Very happy. Looks great. Quick and efficient. Not too big.
