Russell Hobbs Distinctions Espresso Machine 15 Bar Pressure with Steam Wand

It does make a good coffee, but only if you like a half cup of espresso , and if you want a cappuccino , it's really good, brilliant frothy milk , just don't expect to make another coffee for at least 10 minutes after using the steam wand . Fortunately I got it during the bank holiday event at a good price so not all bad I suppose.

I purchased this machine as a gift after looking at quite a few, this is the one I chose and the Recipient loves it and uses it everyday.

Really good machine, fits nicely into our kitchen and was a very good price

It was a lousy decision. The coffee machine arrived and I excitedly opened everything and turned it on. From the very first moment I didn't like the machine. First of all, it is very unstable. It looks like a toy. And when I tried the coffee, it comes out terrible. Really bad. The same (speciality) coffee from another machine comes out delicious. When I searched for a return it said that a return is only available if it is completely unused. But of course, I had already used it once. Since then, I regret it every day. The brand has good and durable things like the kettle, for example. I would buy 5 more. But the coffee machine, lousy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have fallen in love with this espresso maker. It looks so sleek and stylish. The colour is so pretty and I’m now trying to match my other appliances. It’s not as big and bulky as I expected but that is a massive plus for me. After reading the instructions the espresso maker is quite easy to use and the more I have used it it has become like switching the kettle on! I absolutely love the cup warmer on the top as it gives a bit more purity. And the milk brother has become my family’s favourite part of the machine as we have been able to use it to make so many other drinks not just an espresso and who doesn’t love a hot chocolate or latte with frothy milk
