I got this machine at christmas and I have no regrets. I paid £42 from Amazon as this was the best price at the time. It is a basic filter coffee, capuchino, expresso combi coffee maker but is very effective. It can make up to 10 filter coffes in a single go at varying strengths and this feature is also availible for expresso/capuchino, (basically just regulates speed at which the water filters through). I was surprised how effective the milk throther ... ...more expensive models. One thing I would say though is that unless you place the machine on the edge of a surface you have to tilt the jug slightly to get it out because the nozzel is too low. Other disadvantages are that it is plastic and it has no timer for those early mornings but I don't think you can expect features like that on a product at this price.

I got this machine at christmas and I have no regrets. I paid £42 from Amazon as this was the best price at the time. It is a basic filter coffee, capuchino, expresso combi coffee maker but is very effective. It can make up to 10 filter coffes in a single go at varying strengths and this feature is also availible for expresso/capuchino, (basically just regulates speed at which the water filters through). I was surprised how effective the milk throther was considering it has a considerably lower steam pressure than more expensive models. One thing I would say though is that unless you place the machine on the edge of a surface you have to tilt the jug slightly to get it out because the nozzel is too low. Other disadvantages are that it is plastic and it has no timer for those early mornings but I don't think you can expect features like that on a product at this price. The bottom line is that it makes great coffee is easy to use, it also comes with a tutorial video. The machine it self is ready to use out of the box once you have passed one lot of water throug to clean it. If you are a first time buyer then look no further, I have seen no better product within £100 of this. For this price you wouldn't even have to use it regularly to get your money's worth.
