Excellent little machine for the price. I have at last discovered the secrets, well, some of them, of making a really nice cup of coffee and this little beauty has helped me achieve that discovery. At 15bar there is enough pressure to penetrate a really well packed and tamped portafilter. This is one of the secrets I gleaned from trawling the net, (no pun intended), without at least 8bar you are apparently wasting your time if you want to produce the crema on top of your coffee that is in essence what goes toward making good coffee. Anyway, this machine produces the aforesaid which is not unlike a glass of Guinness. Beautiful. The steam wand works great too, producing oodles of steam without any apparent pressure drop, heating and frothing the milk perfectly. The water container, situated at the rear of the unit, holds enough water for possibly six or eight large cups of coffee and is very easy to fill, without removing it from the machine, using a jug. The only think I would criticise is the plastic spoon/tamper, flimsy...... and about 2mm smaller in diameter than the portafilter. The tamper or tamp, should be a good near friction fit into the portafilter opening, unfortunately the supplied one is not, but, hey ho, easy enough to buy a decent one for a few quid more. One day I hope to perfect some "Latte Art", but for the moment I am really happy to brewing some nice satisfying coffee, at last...Read full review

The item is very simple to use and clean, and I like that! However, I'm very very disappointed with the brewing lead-time! I have to wait for serval minutes before I can get my double express and it even worse when it comes to prepare the milk. When standing next the machine and preparing my cappuccino, I keep laughing at my self as I feel as a kid as I m not satisfy with the item and I can get rid of it as I spent money to buy! I will highly prefer to have a machine with high power consumption and which will give me the satisfaction (heating high quantity of water for the brewing and milk so that I can get the quality and quantity which I want without waiting for ages) that I dreamed about and still dreaming to get one day! The expresso from the machine is very good and tasty! The matter is with the quantity and the time it takes! RegardsRead full review

Love my little VonShef - heats and froths milk well and the coffee is divine! First time I've used a machine of this type - only negative is that I've not managed to get the grounds dry - there always seems to be water left in the little filter.

Very fast, very easy to use, very easy to clean. makes great espresso and cappucino, and it's become the first thing I turn on very morning. The only thing is that it does drip a lot after you turn it off, so I've got into the habit of putting a cloth under the spouts as soon as I remove the cup - problem slolved and don't have to clean the tray evry time!

Makes good coffee and amazing value given that it has the necessary 15 bar pressure. Only small issue is that the internal filter of the coffee mould comes out, which is difficult when making more than one cup as it is extremely hot (and thus almost impossible to get out in order to prepare the next coffee!).
