Good Points

The best!


Bad Points

Maybe the frother's not as good as it might be (although I never drink adulterated coffee, so it may just be that I'm failing rather than the machine in this respect)


General Comments

My advice is ignore reviewers who can't use this machine : it's EXCELLENT. Great espresso with wonderful thick crema (sugar won't sink through it !). I use cheap(ish) Lavazza Espresso beans, and a an excellent Gaggia grinder. I'd buy another Classic tomorrow if (heaven forbid) mine gave up the ghost. Easily cleaned (quick flush with water after emptying the holder) Mainly, excellent / wonderful/better than British coffee-house espresso and easily on a par with real Italian cafe offerings. I've owned it for 3 years, and it's the best food gadget I've ever bought. Need to play around for the first few days (grind size, packing density etc) to optimise things just how you like, but from day 1 I was making coffee better than I could buy at British coffee houses

    Saying that though it isn't hard to beat British coffee houses, I have often wondered whether Britain is the worst country for coffee, I think the fact that most people prefer instant coffee (which they call 'real') to that 'black machine stuff' says enough! Thanks for your review.
