Looks very stylish. Quick and easy to use. Easy to clean. Makes nice coffee without using loads of coffee like a cafetiere does.

I've used the ES547 Cafe Retro Espresso machine for about 4 years now and it does its job.... I'm sure there are machines out there that make a perfect cup of Cappa with out making as much of a mess as the Kenwood. I'm also sure they will cost much much more then the sale price of £80 I paid ...

I've had three of these Kenwood Cafe Retro espresso machines fail after a few weeks in service and would not recommend them to anyone

This particular model of espresso maker, Kenwood ES547 Cafe Retro Espresso Machine, came under different brands: De Longhi, Espressione, Ariete, Krups and may be others.

Boilers have failed on mine. Internals have also blocked/broken down. Thermo ...

When I got my Kenwood ES54 it worked brilliantly and made very good coffee.

The Kenwood ES547 comes at a very reasonable price but I don't think it is an everyday use machine. Good if you want a cheap machine to make the odd cup. Suspect a design fault caused the steam pressure failure?

I loved my Kenwood ES547 Retro Espresso Machine for the first year, then it started to fall apart. It rusts at the back, it drips, it stops boiling after 2.5 years, the handle breaks off after 1 year.

For all its faults, this Kenwood ES547 still manages to make me a lovely espresso, complete with a beautiful crema. However, the next time I buy an espresso machine, I don't think I will buy a Kenwood.
