Swan SK22110GN Retro Espresso Coffee Machine with Milk Frother, Steam Pressure Control, 1.2L Detachable Water Tank, 1100W, Retro Green

If your looking for a coffee machine with 1 button to press and minimal effort don't buy this and then complain on the review it's 'faffy' or whatever word you'd use! It's an at home coffee machine with frother, not a Tassimo! Anywho, we love this little machine. It's perfect for a novice like myself and my husband. We've had it since January, I didn't want to leave a review until we'd given it a good run. I think 4 months is fair amount of time. We had a pod machine before this and although we liked it the coffee was always very 'blah'. So, once you've had a good few runs with it and you have a routine down it takes no more than 5 mins to make a proper coffee and clean the machine before sitting down to drink your creation. Which in my opinion is well worth it when you're getting a drink similar to one you'd pay a small fortune for. It's not all about the machine, the coffee itself is everything. You put a cheap nasty coffee in your going to get a crappy coffee.. You don't have to spend the earth to get good coffee, just do some research and read reviews. Discover what type of blends you like as well, it's not 1 fits all, we all have different taste buds. The frother is so good, it gets the milk so hot and what technique is used determines the type of froth you get. Coffee is an art of its own, your either into it or your not! My husband is way more into it than me, I'm happy with a flat white, he loves to experiment with it all. It is honestly easy to use, it's 3 buttons! You DO have to put some work into, I say work, it's still very simple. It isn't a pod machine with 1 button though so if you aren't prepared to learn and work a little for your coffee just buy a pod machine! Only slight downfall of the whole machine, the frother wand is just a tad short. If it was another cm or so longer it would be perfect. We still manage to use a larger jug when making more than 1 coffee at a time but it can take some time and doesnt reach the bottom so can sometimes not create that perfect froth. Use a small jug and the froth is perfect everytime! All in all would 100% recommend this coffee machine for at home use, it's well worth it's money. In comparison to others it's cheap, looks good and works brilliantly. We've raved about this to anyone who loves their coffee like we do ☺

After doing a lot of research of different machines I didn't want to spend a lot of money on my first at home coffee machine. I ordered this one and was a little skeptical based on some other negative reviews. I'm really please, I've had this machine for a few months now. I followed the instructions precisely at first, and it's simple and second nature to do the various steps/buttons now. I use the coffee maker every day and I love it. It does everything I need/want it to do and I definitely don't see the point in spending more for anything other than aesthetics or very large families etc. I've encountered a few 'problems' that are also mentioned in other reviews and here is how I resolved them; Light colour coffee coming out : In the first few seconds the coffee is very dark then goes light quickly as it pours, I believe some of this is due to aeration as in the cup it still looks pretty dark. I also needed to adjust my expectation. This machine produces an espresso - not a full cup of coffee. I usually have a latte/flat white but if I have an americano style coffee I pour the espresso and top up using the kettle. Milk not hot enough - keep it going for longer :D it does take longer than I initially expected to get piping hot 'Exploding' - this has happened twice. Not an explosion, the filter porter has come loose and popped off with the pressure. It didn't break my cup but could easily break a glass cup. The first time I was rushing and didn't securely lock the portafilter well enough. The second time there must have been some old coffee grids etc where the portafilter locks in because it seemed to glide into place without effort and so when it got going inevitably slid back off. So, I'd say push it into place firmly and remove before switching to the steam function. Larger 2-cup filter not working. Only a drip came out of the larger 2-cup/extra shot filter at first. After some time I realised it's because it needs more pressure to push through the extra grounds. The 'ready' green light may come on but if it's not coming out effectively I just wait an extra 30 secs and it's fine when I try again. Wand not long enough. I usually make one cup at a time. My standard size jug needs to be 2/3 filled to work with this length of wand so means making too much hot milk and being wasteful. So, using a cup or smaller jug is needed.

The machine took a bit of time to adjust to. It will take time for you to find the way you like to do your coffee, and the quality of the coffee does depend on what grounds you decide to use. The machine is so quick to set up and use. It only takes a quick read of the instructions and you can be making a coffee in minutes. It warms up really fast so you don’t have to be waiting around for it to be ready to pull your shot. It doesn’t take up too much space and looks really dainty on my coffee cart. There is a single and a double shot, and once you’ve gotten used to using the machine, the double shot is always the right amount for a nice coffee. I find it wonderful for iced coffees. I’ve only used the steam wand a handful of times but I’ve not loved the results so far. It seems simple to use but froths quite a lot and the product sometimes tastes a little plasticky. The espresso aspect is amazing for the price. It’s easy to clean and reassemble.

Das die machine sehr schön ist
