Cooks Professional 15-Bar Retro Espresso Coffee Machine with Frothing Steam Wand, Built-In Temperature Gauge, 1.2L Water Tank & Stainless Steel Drip Tray | Grey

Lovely, works, looks great and steams the milk super hot and frothy. Sometimes the coffee splashes everywhere and leaks away from the cup, which could be due to the holder not being placed securely. I have gotten better at reducing this over time. Good pressure, good steam and great coffee.

Great product, let down only by the short steam wand. Looks good, easy to use, easy to clean, makes excellent espresso and cappuccino. Fantastic value.If the steam wand were 1cm longer, I'd give the machine a 5* review.

Genuinely brilliant, straightforward coffee maker. Very good price considering the gouging that’s going on to exploit gullible coffee connoisseurs…

I tried to like this and took weeks to decide but couldn’t live with it long term.Water reservoir is difficult to remove.Regular mugs don’t fit in the machine.There is no automatic stop on the pour.Machine vibrates so much if you leave to get milk, when you come back the mug isn’t under the portafilter and your coffee is pouring into the drip tray.The drip tray is tiny.If you don’t use the drip tray so you can fit a regular size mug, the tray holder has 2 holes in the bottom meaning the post pour drips go straight onto your counter.The portafilter is very cheap and the filter cup is very loose. This means it often falls out when emptying spent coffee, you get tiny grinds forming a tide mark in your drink, the machine occasionally spews a hot water/grind mix out of the housing and the most annoying part is, as the filter cup sits so loosely in the portafilter arm, if you are making a second cup and use a knock box to empty it, the 2 nozzles act like tiny volcanoes spewing hundreds of tiny coffee droplets all over your surfaces.I’ve had to return this. Pretty little unit but simply isn’t fit for long term purpose and the faults drive you crazy!

Makes a good espresso. But the steamer wand is unreliable, sometimes not working at all and sometimes steam leaking out of the group head. Also the green light frequently goes out because it's cooled down before it's finished making an espresso. And it's not just an individual fault machine - first machine was replaced because of this and now replacement has same problem (had 2 machines in 4 months).

Very good machine, before i had expensive machine Delonghi and I m glad i found this one . The coffee taste amazing and it gives a nice foam at the end of extraction. I highly recommend.The only one negative side of this product is that its smell of plastic even after washing it so I do recommend to leave it to soak several times. I m not so sure if this plastic smell will be present much longer sice I started using this machine a week already. Maybe manufacturer could consider of changing material making so it doesn’t smell so strong.

Real shame as I have I all my Airbnb’s and all leak from the pressure.

bought as low cost for Swan Nordic that broke and was not repairable and had appalling service. This machine has worked well for several months but the acid test will be in a couple of years time, when I see if it is still working.
