I don’t even know where to start. First off: it weighs nothing so you have to hold it with one hand when you put the coffee holder in the machine with the other hand which is cumbersome. Second: you can’t put enough coffee in the holder for 2 cups, it’s ridiculous. Third: not enough pressure! It drips out instead of streaming out, no matter if you just cleansed the machine or not. Fourth: forget the steamer, you have to purchase a separate machine for milk foam. Fifth: my machine does not sit in direct sunlight, yet the water reservoir’s colour has faded dramatically to a pastel orange whilst the rest of the machine has kept its colour. Sixth: the ‘chrome’ parts are plastic and it scratches way too easily so within one month it looks ugly. Concluding: a total and utter waste of money. Oh and I forgot to tell that the first one died within 6 months, the second one (that I received for replacement) is just as miserable as the first one, everything I wrote are my experiences with the second one. Never again Swan for me. It is far too expensive for the quality you get and the pressure is far too low. It says 15 Bar, but I think it it barely 10.

I haven’t used this yet, but love the look. It goes well with my Swan retro toaster & kettle.

Bought this a little while ago but had to leave a review as it is such a lovely machine. Easy to use and makes coffee tastes really good, have saved a fortune on coffees as rarely buy them now as I prefer the ones made with this!
