My Nespesso machine packed after about 6 years. I've had this machine coming up for a week. Got this because there was an offer £79.99 for 200 pods and a "free" machine. My wife has said that the flavour of the pods, especially the XL are quite tasty. No worse than Nespesso pods. The lack of pre-heat is a tiny bit of annoyance compared to our old machine. You can't stop midway. Sometimes she may want to do another shot with the same pod just to add a bit more but then want to stop half way if the mug/cup is near full. It does leak a bit more than our older machine too. However it's about half the price that we paid 6 years a go! As long as it lasts 3 years, then I can't complain.

Love the 🐝 mug of your wife, by the way 😀

I put a slice of folded kitchen towel under my coffee machine after making coffee on the drip tray it catches all them annoying drips :)

I just bought this machine and I absolutely love it !!! Your review helped me make the decision to buy this machine over all the other ones on the market. Thank you for this honest review !!!

Glad it helped. Good machine this amd surprisingly one of the cheapest!!

I really want this machine . But heard some bad reviews about it 😢

Good and enthusiastic review. Well explained. Thanks! What did you think of the temperature? Is it the same as a Nespresso machine or less?

It’s as hot as any other I’ve used 👍🏻

To prevent dripping i eject the pod whilst cup still in situ and its stops, my drip tray rarely gets wet or dirty for this reason, love this machine though

Hi I’ve always had Nespresso machines and I’m scared to change however this looks easy for a 80 year old to use what do you think Cheers Robyn

Hello Robyn, This would be fine. Literally out of the box all you need to do is put a pod in, close the flap and press one button. You CAN change it if you need too, but Id be happy without having to do that, so think this would be fine.

Why not use shot glasses and pour into preferred mug? Can also leave them there to catch the drips after use??

Oh absolutely I could but I just want convenience and speed.

I just have a question about the lever ..how does it feel .. ‘plasticy’ or sturdy ?

It’s definitely sturdy feeling.

How do you program your machine for more water

It’s in the manual and off the top of my head (I don’t use this machine any more). You just hold the button down til you have your desired amount then let go and it remembers it

Just out of interest, which machine do you use now?​@@TheCoffeePodChannel

This machine is rubbish. 5 months old and regularly descaled, yet it no longer dispenses the correct amount of coffee and is only warm when finished. Will be on the phone to l'or in the morning to demand a refund as not fit for service.

Shame yours is no good. Good luck with the refund. I’ve dealt with l’or and they take some pestering.
