5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant first esspresso machine
(function(){ P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function'){ A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })() This machine is great as a first entry into esspresso machines.Is it the best machine on the market? NoDoes it have the greatest variety of felxibility and customisation on the market? NoDoes it make great coffee and give you a BRILLIANT entry into the wonderful world of esspresso and coffe? YESYES YES YESThe hopper holds a very good ammount of beans that does 5+ coffees per fill. The multiple baskets that it comes with are great for dialling in your espresso and make it nearly impossible to make bad coffee. The calibrated tamper makes it easy to get the correct pressure for your puck and if youre a fan of milk drinks, the inbuilt frother gives great pressure and the accompanying milk jug allows for easy pouring.Overall this is a brilliant "First" esspresso machine that blends great coffee with ease of use and flexible settings whilst also being very hard to get wrong.As a final note, I had a small issue with the hopper after about 4 weeks of near constant use, and all it took was 5 minutes and 3 small screws to get the whole thing apart, fix and put back together. I really cannot reccoment this machine enough.
5.0 out of 5 stars A very easy to use semi auto bean to cup machine.
After several machines I am pleased to say this one is vey easy to use, makes excellent coffee almost straight out of the box. Accessories of high quality, the tamper in particular. Good looking as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Broken
So i bought one of these having had all sage machines previously. I'm a pretty heavy user and usually get 5 years or so out of the sage machines. For some bizarre reason I thought I would have a change and try this machine, MISTAKE! To look at it's a nice unit, makes a decent espresso and I would say is aimed at beginners as has weighted tamper, timed steam wand etc etc.The machines weakness is the steam wand. Literally a few days after the 30 day refund period it stopped working. I always look after my machines so run after use, clean etc so it's not that. I paid 529 for this machine, and you don't expect it to break 7 weeks in!!I have to say Bolo as ever we're great and will refund me but obviously I'm back to square one.My advice would be avoid this machine and buy the Sage.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great...if you have the time
This is a great little Barista machine. It works brilliantly, but with one major caveat. This is a machine for people who want to be precise, accurate and take their time. That's great if you do want to do that, but for the price there are perhaps better automatic options from companies like Delongie. On those you can have your coffee ready to go within a minute. Here you are looking at 10 times that time (if you are including cleaning..which is a necessity. That said, with the auto machines you are far, far more restrictive. So it just comes down to fuss and versatility vs speedy quality. Im in the latter group I'm afraid.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent item
This is a great coffee machine.It came beautifully packaged and feels like a really good quality piece of kit. Plus it looks great in my kitchen!It was easy to install and get started with. There are some easy to follow online videos from Phillips to help you get started which you can access by scanning a QR code on the box.It has taken a little bit of time getting familiar with it as this is the first coffee machine like this I have had but I love the quality of the coffee it makes. It's great to be able to produce coffee shop quality drinks at home!
5.0 out of 5 stars Creates barista-quality brews and provides a satisfying espresso experience
This Barista brew semi-automatic espresso machine is great for making barista-quality coffee at home. Its modern design fits any kitchen, and it's easy to use for both beginners and experts. The semi-automatic feature lets me control brewing while being efficient. It ensures consistent espresso shots, has a strong milk frother for creamy drinks, heats up quickly, and it's easy to maintain with simple cleaning. It's a reliable machine that delivers a coffee shop experience at home. What I like about this machine is that first, it's very compact considering all the functionality. Second, it's well-designed and high-quality. Third, it brews a great latte. Fourth, the portafilter has a pad that catches the sink edge for support when I tamp the ground coffee with the calibrated tamper. Fifth, as a first timer, it was easy for me to learn to use it. Sixth, the milk jug has a built-in thermometer that allows me to know the milk temperature as I froth the milk for a consistent result. Seventh, I like the grounded cord for safety, it has easy adjustments for grinder settings and the simple drip tray design. The drip tray includes a section for grinds, and the smell of the freshly ground beans is amazing. Eighth, the pressure gauge helps me fine-tune my settings for the perfect extraction. Ninth, the water tank handle is accessible, and removing the filter basket is easy and safe. And lastly, this espresso machine is impressive and easy to use. I enjoyed making my delicious latte every day.
