This is honestly the best low-end coffee machine you can buy. I received this on the 29th of September at around 11 a.m. I then started making coffee at about 2 pm after buying some beans, and since then (now on the 30th of September) I have made around 12 cups of delicious cappuccino/latte; and boy. It is tasty (beans depending, obviously). Pros: - Easy to get the machine up for the first time - just as simple as emptying half of the water tank through the portafilter into a big bowl and washing the accessories with warm water. - Super easy for beginners to use. - Makes excellent-tasting espresso and milk-based coffee once you get the knack for it. - Get *almost* everything you need to start; you just don't get a metal milk jug for the steam wand which sucks but you *CAN* just use a normal cup (I guess... - thankfully I had two jugs anyway; I'd recommend buying a slightly smaller one as one of my jugs is a little large and doesn't fit deep enough for small amounts of milk) - The steam wand is ready to use within around 5 minutes and when you are skilled enough can produce delicious frothy micro-foam-filled steamed milk for your milk-based coffees. Cons: - Steam wand takes around 10-20 minutes to cool down, so you can't make more espresso during this time. - The portafilter is a little bit cheap feeling and the notch basket design isn't ideal in my opinion as it can be a little tricky to get the basket out, especially after getting the puck out. You need to swill and dry the basket to easily take it out after use. I'd recommend buying a new portafilter for it once you get the hang of pulling shots with it. No opinion: - With any new coffee machine, you will need to dial it in to find the right dosage, right beans, right pull time, etc. So be ready to waste some beans dialing it in. Overall, I would say this is an excellent coffee machine for the price (I paid £99.99 on offer, but it usually retails for around £200) so if you're on the fence about which bean-to-cup coffee machine to buy, then definitely give this a whirl if you can afford it and be sure to shop around for the best price on this bad boy. I'm in love

I do not advise you not to buy the product if it has not been used for a week and the rubber has broken down. Doesn't work at all. I asked for the fix but couldn't find it even if it was ordered in foreign countries Read more

For everyone honest review , this machine doesn’t have the bar pressure reader so cannot gauge the exact pressure if it’s being applied to extract a good cup of coffee ( better to have one with the pressure reader ) , too many tryouts to be done until u get the output u need otherwise coffee will always turn out to be bitter and sour . Rest machine is sturdy and easy to use . Read more

Good coffee machine but had water leaks when making coffee and when heating water and steamed milk on the first day of purchase.where it was retrieved.

I absolutely love this coffee machine. It’s very easy to use and makes delicious coffee. It does take time to get used to the steam wand like other reviews mentioned but after few attempts the process gets easy. Totally recommend :)

The machine is very good. Been using it for a while now and can make coffee as good as Icoffee shops.

The grinder spills coffee all over the place

Machine doesnt work. Lights are not working properly and no coffee/water coming.Will return

Not the best for me, had to return it.Much better to spend a bit more to get the barista express
