Morphy Richards 47004 CAFE RICO Combi

Us Brits drink in the region of seventy million cups of coffee every day, and while this can only be good news for Starbucks et al we are increasingly enjoying top quality filter coffee, cappuccino or espresso in the comfort of our own homes. Once the reserve of the dinner party or other special occasions the advance in reliability coupled with a lowering of prices mean that most homes count a filter coffee machine amongst their must have kitchen ...
...went to the giant appliance store in the sky I decided to upgrade in style - and while the recently deceased machine made filter coffee and nothing else I decided to go the whole hog and invest in an all singing, all dancing cappuccino, espresso and coffee machine. ● What's in the box? ● Well, first and foremost, you get the coffee machine itself, and by anyone's standards it is a beast of a machine - roughly the size of a microwave. ...

...all at once. 6. The Morphy Richards Caf Rico combination coffee maker also comes with a manufacturer’s guarantee of 2 years. The Morphy Richards Caf Rico combination coffee maker was an absolute bargain at £59.05. When you compare it to all other combination coffee makers it beats all of them on price by far. For a combination coffee maker like this, the price range usually starts at £80 and can go much higher. I bought mine from Argos, which ...

Review of Morphy Richards 47004 CAFE RICO Combi

When our last coffee machine finally gave up from over use, we got this one. As my husband only drinks coffee having a machine was a must in our house. We chose the cafe rio as we wanted to have a choice of coffee we normally use the filtered coffee every day but like to have an espresso or cappuccino as a treat or when friends come round. There is one water tank for the filter side and one for the espresso side both are filled from the top of ...
...is space above the machine to fully lift the lid. On the filter side once the lid is up you have access to the water tank and also where the coffee is to go to be filtered, on the lid is also a control for the strenght of the coffee. This basically works by the rate the water passes through the coffee. This can make upto 10 cups of coffee. The espresso side has a pressure system and makes upto 6 cups this also has a control for the strenght. To ...

Review of Morphy Richards 47004 CAFE RICO Combi

Wot a great product and what a great price for it. I bought this baby for £49 while browsing for Xmas gifts at Currys and there hasnt yet been a day that I havent used it. The machine is sectioned in three parts: The Filter Coffee maker, the Milk Frother and the Espresso maker. You may have spotted each of these sections sold separately and looking the same as in this combo but the way they have combined these 3 parts together is ergonomic and ...
...that heat up quickly and are also easy to clean. The Filter Coffee maker can make up to 10 cups of coffee and uses a permanent filter that can be easily removed and cleaned. This for me was important as I didnt want to be buying paper filters all the time. You can adjust the strength of your coffee Weak-Med-Strong and you can make a full jug in just a few minutes (about 7 mins). The Frother is placed neatly in the middle and features a stainless ...

I love this machine. i bought it just over a year ago for £50 from Currys. It comes with a two years manufacturers warranty and Currys do there own which is £9.99 for 3 years instant replacement. Watch out though, if you get it when it is full price (£55) the three year warranty is £19.99. I have tried many varieties of coffees and my tip is buy the fair trade, not only better for the economy but also tastes much nicer! This is a very easy machine ...
...thread the top of the machine when you put the the water in. The filter is washable which is always handy as it stops you having to spend lots of money on replacement parts. The filter coffee stays really hot on the warming plate which isanother benefit of the machine. If you are like me and like to have several cups an hour then this is a must in a coffee maker. The milk warming plate is good at first but do not leave it on long or you end up ...

...a modern day cleopatra... bonus Morphy Richards! Apart from that I was pretty happy, untill after a month it broke. Did the non-so-sturdy build quality fall apart? Or in a milk splattering outrage it went for a flying lesson? Nope, the bloody heating element broke. It seems to me (I did a little testing) that if the hotplate was left on in order to keep the coffee warm, the heating element also stayed on. But, naturally the water was all gone as ...
...after a month it was all burnt out. What donut came up with that design? Anyway, it went straight back and I got my next make... which also broke. I've had three so far, all different makes and models and all of them broke after a couple of months. Go figure. ...

Review of Morphy Richards 47004 CAFE RICO Combi

When we could no longer resist the urge to have espressos as well as coffee, we looked several different makers. In the end we chose what was probably the cheapest and yet it has been an excellent little buy. We plumped for one with a milk whisk at little extra cost, this might be a little over-indulgent given the infrequency of having cappucino type drinks. The first time detaching the milk whisk took a while to figure out, the instructions seemed ...
...bit but that just takes adjustment of how far down to put the whisk. As for coffee and espresso, this has been straightforward to use with good results. It is a little awkward to pour the water in as the lid doesn't go back enough (or i might just be a little afraid of breaking it). I like the permanent filter idea, a little cost-saving. You can use disposable filters but it probably takes a small size of filters. It's not noisy and the aromas are ...

Review of Morphy Richards 47004 CAFE RICO Combi

I have recently purchased the Cafe Rico, and I can now have the taste of italy every morning without having to leave home, The machine does exactly as it is supposed to do and there is even the ability to change the degree of coffee strength you require. This takes a few goes to get perfect but worth it when its done. There is an integral filter that saves you having to buy new filters that is easy to wash. The only critism is the milk warmer is ...

Review of Morphy Richards 47004 CAFE RICO Combi

Ok so I bought it on a whim right place right price sought of thing but so far no complaints. Has the convinience of being both an espresso and filter coffee maker in one so although it takes up a bit of space in the side it saves having two machines. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and has a few recipies at the end for different types of coffee / espresso. Its easy to use and has no exiciting techinal bits just fill with water and ...
...fairley quick . Just a small point with the espresso remeber to put in a little more water than you need, two cups on the jug will give you about one and half by the time you loose some through the steam. Nice milk frother and warmer. Theres a bit of a knack to frothing the milk without spraying it everywhere, but I don't imagine this is different to any other machine. The coffee maker has a re-usable filer and easily comes apart for cleaning. ...
