Starting from a point of being a complete novice with coffee machines this is something new for me, while seeing many of my friends getting all singing and dancing coffee machines I have been very dubious mainly because they take cartridges, I am not really even sure what they are apart from they seem really expensive to me.
When making coffee I have always used a French press or the old style machine you put paper filters in both having their own issues so decided it was time for me to purchase a proper dedicated coffee machine and had a few prerequisites, I wanted something that would take proper coffee that came in a pack rather than a sealed cartridge, I wanted something basic and simple to use but that also had a steam jet for frothing the milk, wasn’t huge taking up loads of space in the kitchen as my kitchen is small and didn’t cost a fortune, this fitted my requirements.
It arrived in a nice branded box with a UK plug and everything I needed to be up and running, after reading the instruction booklet I gave it a good clean and ran several full tanks of water through it then I was ready to give it a test. Although the instructions are very basic they are clear and easy to follow so nothing difficult or complicated or a mass of different buttons and settings so the process was quite simple.
I did notice a few reviewers said this was very noisy but as I have never had one before I had nothing to compare it with, I didn’t find it noisy and really the only thing I could compare it with was my kettle and it was certainly a lot quieter than that, I found the steamer worked really well and after a couple of minutes once it started the jug filled at a good steady pace.
I have added a short video and will also add some pictures showing the process start to finish and was very pleased with the results, please be aware the video quality often degrades considerable when uploaded.
What I liked
*************
- The price
- Simple and easy to use
- Nice and compact not taking up too much room
- The steamer works really well and is movable
- Takes proper coffee not cartridges
- Neat and simple design
- Comes with everything you need to be up and running apart from the coffee
- Delivers a great cup of coffee nice and quickly
What I Didn’t Like
********************
- Very picky as it’s not really an issue to the final product but I would have liked to see a nice glossy instruction manual
Summary
**********
For me this is great, I didn’t want an all singing and dancing coffee maker to impress my friends, I wanted a very simple basic coffee machine that was easy to use, didn’t take up a load of space, didn’t cost a fortune, quick and delivered a great cup of coffee and this gets five stars as it ticks all my boxes. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.
