Despite the lightweight tinny feel, it does the job. Only time will tell how well it is built and if it is repairable.

Plastic taste, appalling customer service Review by Anonymous User I have ordered this coffee machine over a week ago, cleaned it as instructed, made the first ever coffee and it tasted of pure plastic. I then cleaned it 3 more times to see if I could solve the issue as I put it down to it being new. When the machine was running the water through the steam stunk of plastic as well as the water. Messaged customer service straight away however no one got back to me in regards to returning this faulty machine. Seems like a lot of people are experiencing the same as me after reading reviews on a different site. Don’t buy unless you like your coffee tasting like burnt plastic!

Cannot use at all. Drink tastes metallic and the coffee is very weak. Have to absolutely pack it with coffee just to get 1 small drink. Using the steamer makes it taste metallic - disgusting. Wish I could send back.

Espresso tastes great with Lavassa coffee. After a few months drips and the steamer doesn't work. Customer Services recommend squeezing 2 lemons into the water container and running it through the machine to clean it but still have a problem for a machine well in the 12 month guarantee.
