Extremely noisy machine unless you press down on the handle while it's delivering the espresso, and even then it rattles away. It's also fairly slow to heat up and if you tamp the coffee down too hard (i.e. hardly at all) the pump can't cope and nothing comes out, so all in all, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
AdrianWI used to have an earlier incarnation of this coffee machine. Like the upgraded features (the pod has improved a fair bit). It matches my micalite red kettle and provides the ability for matching red chai lattes (rooibos) and coffee.
KathGift for my son who loves it
Vivien H-JPurchased to replace a worn out one of the same model. The fact we purchased another of the same should say enough. Best with medium/fine ground coffee.
robGreat coffee machine. Looks beautiful and makes perfect coffee.
adambrooks100water tank lid btoken and also bottom of tank broken too,water leaking !! coffee spoon broken in 2 parts too.
geanina naniSuperb. I had intended to order a more expensive model, but found that it was too big for the space available. I am lucky: because this one is perfect for my needs and cost less. I have no hesitation in recommending it.
STEPHEN G.It only lasted 2 days. It started switching off on it's own untill it did not go "on" again at all
efesuxpcrap broke after 8 weeks outside the return date
John MNice looking expresso Machine it does a very nice coffee but it’s rubbish for foam, I didn’t try it on time and now I can’t return it. When you want to make foam it splashes milk everywhere and it doesn’t do the foam.
Rozina StanescuWe wanted something like this in a long time, bought it on sale and we love it. We are using decaf and regular coffee from the shop and makes lovely coffees, perfect creamy top layer, and the steamer, only used a couple of times,but is pretty good for the size of it. Worth every penny!

BARmickOnly used proberbly a dozen times now after 3 months stopped working, being told can't return it, not recommended.
L. HanleyBought this as a Christmas present for my husband opend Christmas Day was really impressed to start with, used once a day as expected from a coffee machine completely stopped working by February
Ashley HardingVery disappointed. We had a DeLonghi previously but this seems to be a significant downgrade. Much louder, takes longer to be ready, doesn't have the setting of single/double espresso which stops when ready. You have to be at the machine to stop it yourself when cup is full.
Jennifer JoyceAmazing I love it. Works perfect
Simone hillExceptionally priced espresso machine - great as a starter or second unit somewhere.Pleasantly surprised with this unit, bought in Black Friday deal for my parents.Only one minor call-out which is probably to be expected at this price: doesn’t cope with really high pressure well (so don’t fill your coffee up too much as it will not pour the espresso).Otherwise a great product that looks good in any kitchen.
David A. BullMakes great tasty Cappuccino. Not great amount of crema for Espresso, though that might be my choice of beans and grind.. Frother does drip water a little. That's acceptable to me for the lovely Cappuccino coffee it makes.
DharmastevePurchased for son for Christmas one of the models he had asked for, recieved in its packaged box with No outer damage. Works well and when purchased was a very good price. I would hope it lasts it does seem to be a lot better made than the previous one, which lasted less than a year
Amazon CustomerGood! It doesn’t steam well enough for 5 starsBut it’s a good coffee machine! I recommend it to everyone who loves a good coffee;)
