Wasn't overly impressed with this espresso maker. Although it was quite easy to set up & use, the end result was always not hot enough. I found the pre heat facility worked well enough but was not particularly user friendly so I alternated between using the steam wand or the micro for 30 seconds. Eventually I decided that I wanted hot coffee without any nonsense so gave this away and bought a proper bean to cup machine.
Leonard KingGood coffee, but the coffee machine is very noisy ????
RenataFrother not powerful enough, provides only a few seconds of pressure, not heating the milk at all, so you need to warm the milk elsewhere first.Espresso coffee is fine with good 'crema', but could do with a spare holder of the grains if you want to make a second double espresso.

Jakob J.Wen finally arrived I would not recommend anyone to buy this as mine started leaking after a couple of weeks
Danso far , i love itvery good quality/priceafter 2 years stopped heating the water and the seller did not care less..and does not provide repairwarranty was valid untill less than a month ago...for "some reason" ...is not available anymore
julioThe machine is good value for the money but the heating ready light goes out before the end of dispensing the coffetherefore not very hot,so I heat the cup first.
Amazon CustomerNot a great choice in coffee machines. Water leaks from tank and only small expresso cups can be used. The milk foamer is poor as it delivers water with the steam.
Amazon CustomerThis is an inferior product. I've had several Espresso Coffee makers over the past decade or so. My latest machine lasted about 2 years, which is about what I expect from these items; what I didn't expect was the huge increase in the costs of these Coffee Makers; and to replace my duff machine would have cost around £174. So I decided to by the VonShef. It makes a decent cup of coffee, but the steam pressure is so poor that it takes twice as long as my last coffee maker to make a good size cup of cappuccino. I wouldn't buy the VonShef again.
Historianthe steamer is very weak, also, you can't make espresso at the same time as steaming milk. the overall time it takes to make a drink is very long
Amazon CustomerArrived broken and without instructions. Returned to sender. Disappointing.
MRS JEAN GRANTI do not find it that easy to work and milk does not get as hot as I would like it.
love amazonthe pump is strong but alas it pumps water out through the wrong aperture, all over the floor
Dr. G. HydeI don't recomend anyone to buy this product, trust me, it stopped working after 2 weeks!
Amazon CustomerHave this item for 2 months now and unfortunately it's not working now.Water cannot get through metal funnel to the cup.The machine is working,but it seems there's not enough pressure to push the water through the funnel.Previously I gave this item 5 stars,now I have to reduce it to one.Please don't waste your money.I'm going to Italy in July,and will be buy there simple Bialetti mocha machine.VonShef is not worth a penny.So it stopped working after 6 month.I can only make espresso now.Steaming device broke.
