This coffee machine is so good! I’ve had a few machines in the past but this is by far the best. It’s so easy to use and makes a great coffee. I absolutely love the colour too, all colours were great it was hard to choose one. Highly recommend this

Bought a Swan Retro Pump Espresso machine to replace an old, leaky coffee machine and the Swan Retro is great. Works well and looks very stylish.

I can't get the steam to work even though waiting for a while for it heat up. Water doesn't even come out. It works for coffee though

We'd been eyeing this machine up for ages after wanting an affordable machine but with an attractive, retro look. We finally got it for £59. 99 in the black friday sales and for that price, you can't really complain too much! It's a good machine which does what it says on the tin. The milk frother isn't super powerful and the spout isn't very long so we had to buy a new milk jug just so that it would reach the milk. It also doesn't make it super frothy, more foamy. It comes with a cover and nowhere in the instructions does it say this, so I was using it without taking it off and only realised when it fell off after I cleaned it! The coffee is good, but I miss having a timer to measure out one shot of espresso, and only very shallow cups will fit under the machine unless you squash them in at an angle or use espresso cups to transfer the coffee. I have seen some reviews saying it takes a while to warm up but it's not long at all, I generally switch it on then by the time I have faffed around sorting the coffee grinds out it's ready to use. As I said, for the price you absoulutely can't complain as it does what it says on the tin and looks good whilst doing it. I definitely wouldn't pay over £100 for it, as was the original price, but I'm glad I got away with a bargain.
