We recently bought this coffee machine, but when we put the coffee in to grind, it comes out extremely coarse. We’ve already used half a bag of coffee, which is not cheap to be able to throw away. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Great First Machine, but will definitely invest a bit more money on a better one in a few years if this one doesnt pack in before.

You ideally do need to buy some additional stuff, so get this product only while its on offer.

Additional products: a proper tamper, a bottomless portafilter (though I havent cared to buy one yet but I get why you would buy one), WDT Tool, even perhaps a better grinder if you need/want to go finer than what the machine allows.

Its nice looking product and doesnt take up that much space on the worktop. Cleaning is simple. Can be noisy though no louder than a pod machine.

Couldve been the fact it was my first time using this steamer wand (though have used a few in the past working in Resturant) its ruthless, the steam went onto the mode nob and I couldn’t turn it off because it was slippy 😂

I’ve made some decent coffees with it but its definitely a practise makes great. This machine will not do a perfect coffee/espresso in my opinion. Imagine a scales of store brand instant coffee vs a top tier coffee maker i would say it gives me a pod machine filter through a brita filter. Smooth but still just not right (again, probably the fact ive only had it three weeks so still trying to work out the right grind and tamper pressure even with my 7-15kg pressure tamper)

Far from regret this purchase, in fact its made me realise I actually want more from a machine so its been a good lesson learned.

My first real coffee machine, takes a bit of learning as all of these machines do but the coffee has been great and has good features and well made.

Makes a mess. Although quick and easy to use, as soon as the ground beans approach the top of the filter in the group handle coffee grounds spew out over the machine and work surface. Due to the design a dosing funnel won’t fit so you’re stuck with it. You also have to guess the quantity of grounds required. Steam wand is easy to use and textures the milk well for a satisfying cup of coffee.

Amazing coffee machine! You must take the time to read through the instructions to ensure a smooth setup and great coffee brewing experience.

At first, I set my grind too fine, which stopped the coffee from dispensing through the portafilter. Luckily, this was an easy fix—adjusting the grinder to 22 instead of 6 made all the difference.

The machine comes with everything you need as a novice barista: a milk frothing jug, single and double portafilter baskets, and cleaning tools. The clear, step-by-step instructions are especially helpful, guiding you through how to “dial in” your machine for the perfect shot and even how to steam milk like a pro.

Overall, I’m super impressed with both the quality of the machine and the results it produces. The only downside was that Amazon delivery arrived a day late—but the wait was definitely worth it!
