Worked perfectly for a few months but then the milk frother stopped working. It did make a perfect cappuccino when it’s did work. Seller refunded no problem. So happy with seller.
Carley RoseTwo major problems - firstly, from the first use of the machine the coffee leaks out of the tray down the nozzle and spills all over the floor, which is super annoying. Secondly, after around 15 coffees the milk frother stopped working. I cleaned it out after each use, always remembered to turn everything off, etc. Really disappointed and wish I hadn't spent the money
Helen Marple-horvatThis product is rubbish. The first one broke after about three months and was duly replaced. The replacement broke about two months out of the guarantee period. During that time the espresso was clearly not hot enough with no creme regardless of the quality of the coffee. There were other problems to many to address here. Stay away.
LawrieExcellent expresso machine
Martin RedmanSo far the espresso machine work's without any problems. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Amazon CustomerExcellent coffee machine works well and affordable. Would recommend.
PaulalDespite making great coffee and starting out as a great gift for my GF, in the end when it leaked and she couldn't fix it or resolve the issue with Amazon, it turned out to have been a disappointing gift. Product is now at the local tip unfortunately, a waste of money, precious resources and shipping. Our consumer goods should really be more robust than this if we are going to reduce our environmental impact. The offer of a new seal within the guarantee period would have been acceptable, or a refund perhaps?
Tim ButterworthFantastic machine. Really pleased as a first time purchaser of this type of coffee maker. No more expensive pods! Highly recommend and great value.
TraceyIt works, but after a month or two you need to grain more the coffee to be able to make a good coffee
Rocio QuirozThe on/off switch was faulty, you could not tell if switches were on or off, the machine lost heat quickly and had to keep stopping coffee or steam flow
Ant (.Amazing lovely coffee
Adam h.Very good quality, bought as a present and they love it.
Amazon CustomerIt makes a great cup of coffee. easy to use, but, the coffee grounds container tends to leak when in use.
PeterEasy to use and produces a nice coffee. Also very neat on worktop and looks good. Very pleased.
jrmacalpineVery good product, easy for use and make a great coffe
Evgeni IvanovIt started leaking after a few coffee cups.
Amazon CustomerThe steamer takes time to froth up the milk but other than that no problems
Alan WhiteheadI got this to replace a 4 year old Jack Stonehouse which worked well and which I was used to, so I suppose the new one was always going to be a comparison.
Good points are -straightforward and fairly quick, reasonable value for money, drip tray is more effective,
not so good points are - min amount of water needed is double that of JS model, difficult to get all of the water through the coffee grounds so they can be emptied easily, top of the machine is flat which means that coffee equipment such as scoop/tamper, milk thermometer, etc fall off easily.
I suppose I prefer the JS model but can't find one, Von Chef is a good substitute and with a few minor tweaks could be as good overall.
Bought mainly on price/value so I'm satisfied rather than delighted.
