I love this machine. Only wish I could get the lavazza compostible espresso bags in England.

So far, it seems easy to use and looks brilliant. I don't quite have the right ground coffee for it at the moment as the one I tried was too coarsely ground resulting in a watery, tasteless brown liquid that I wouldn't dare call coffee. I've been using the free Bialetti pods that came with it, which have produced lovely coffee thus far! But it's sometimes quite noisy when you're making more than one cup. Also, my coffee measuring scoop/tamper wasn't in the box and I can't figure out how to get in touch with the seller about this. Looking forward to fiddling with it over time to get my barista technique down!

Utterly wonderful multifunctional coffee maker. As a previous reviewer has noted this comes with a European plug on it, however it does not need a transformer for use within the UK as UK and European power is 230V. Just change the plug a UK one and you are good to go, it is a little disappointing that Bialetti don't do this but it is a wonderful coffee machine, that can accommodate:1) Bialetti espresso capsules (Ensure that you only get the ESPRESSO CAPSULES "I CAFFE D'ITALIA", the Lavazza Amoda Mio capsules sold by Bialetti can not be accommodated by this machine.)2) Pods suitable for Cafe style espresso machines.3) Ground coffee with filters for 1 and 2 cups.Only minor complaint is that I didnt get the measuring spoon in the package, but as I have spoons it is all good. And it doesnt detract from the coffee that this product makes.

Machine is excellent, stylish and easy to use. However nowhere did it state that the machine only comes with 2 pin european plug which requires a transformer.

everything you expect from a coffee machine with a great design as well.2 very minor points. 1. Only comes with a European plug not an Irish one 2. They don't provide a coffee scoop.

My Husband Loved it...So far So good! The Design is incredible

Best coffee machine ever....it makes an amazing coffee. I would totally recomand this item.

I've found this machine to be extremely hit n miss. Hit-n-miss in the sense that sometimes it will make valid, recognizable shot of espresso and sometimes it will make an insipid unpalatable watery mess. In other words... sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Clearly, this shouldn't be the case: it should work for every shot(s) you decide to make. Add to this the fact that it's extremely noisy when producing one of its 'will it/won't it' espresso shots then you've got a machine that's all-round unpleasant to use. At it's best, it will make very good coffee indeed but it's the toss of a coin as to whether or not it will do this. I would avoid this machine and go for something with more pedigree.
