The Kenwood ES547 Retro has everything I had every wanted from an espresso machine. It looks the part, and defiantly produces the best coffee I have every tasted!
We got this as a moving in present from my grandparents so I have no idea what it cost as I am not cheeky enough to ask them the price but it looks and works like a dream so I am not too fussed on the price!
This Kenwood features an innovative Thermocream® device which gives you hot and rich coffee shop espresso, right at home. Thermocream® is designed with a filter that ensures that the coffee always brews at a constant pressure.
It is therefore possible to enjoy very creamy espresso, with an intense aroma and full-bodied flavour without the necessity of having to press energetically and by using any type of blend as long as its grain is not too fine...so my mum says! Kenwood espresso machines also suit cappuccino lovers as they have a MAXI CAPPUCCINO attachment that allows you to obtain a rich and dense froth in less than ten seconds.
The coffee is ready instantly with Kenwood espresso machines as they have an auto-priming system which allows a cup of coffee to be made immediately, even if the maker has not been used for a long time or after filling the water tank. This is a tried and tested method as we went away over the Christmas holidays and did not take our coffee maker…but it was as fast as ever once we got back to put our feet up!
The Kenwood ES547 Retro features the following controls and components – On/off switch Power indicator light Coffee brewer/steam switch Heating unit indicator light Heating unit thermostat (ºC and ºF) Steam lever Water drip tray MAXI CAPPUCCINO attachment and nozzle for water and steam supply Removable water tank Cord + plug Removable grill Filter holder Thermocream® disc Thermocream® filter Measure scoop Coffee presser Power cord housing Espresso cup warming area Shower head
Overall, this espresso machine is very simple to use and to clean…it’s that simple even my boyfriend can work it…shame he hasn’t mastered the hover yet! I would recommend this product to anyone…I think my grandparents got it from an electrical store near to their home (in Llandudno) so as I said earlier I do not know how much they paid for it.
Whatever the price…Quality speaks for itself...Go on...get out there and treat yourself!
Advantages: quick and easy to use and easy to keep clean Disadvantages: does not have an adjustable dispenser and water reservoir could have been larger
This machine is fab, not only does it look funky it (more importantly) produces excellent coffee. It is easy to use and easy to clean. Only disadvantage is that it does not have an adjustable dispenser (tall mugs are just not an option) The "Retro" is more than a coffee maker it is quick and efficient and produces fantastic results, and looks the biz!
I have had the machine for a few months now and is used everyday. I bought this machine initially ...

Advantages: looks good, simple to use Disadvantages: steam arm feels a bit flimsy, but its still there.
...and came up with the Kenwood because of the spec and brand.
I've now owned it for 4 years, and aside for 1 where my husband didn't realise he'd smacked the crema widget into the compost bin (we found it again over a year later) it has done stirling service, the black plastic frothing attachment is now threaded and wheezing a bit (from taking it off to clean), and I must contact Kenwood to replace it.
But it looks the business on the side in the ...
