Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Decent cup of coffee

 

I asked for a coffee machine a couple of christmases ago and my husband bought this cheapie. I was a bit disappointed but it has been perfectly fine. I find that my breville coffee grinder doesn't grind the coffee fine enough for this machine but that...

It's Inexpensive.

We love it.

 

We decided to buy the cheapest machine we could find just because we weren't sure we'd use it (had a bad experience with a pod coffee maker). I wasn't expecting much, but it makes great coffee and awesome froth (like someone else mentioned, it depends...

Cheap but makes great coffee.

Cheap and nasty

 

This machine is made of cheap materials. The water container is made from very strong smelling soft plastic which frets through to the coffee. No amount of washing removes this chemical smell. I have always used Sunbeam coffee makers and generally they...

Small and compact

Pungent plastic smell/taste

I just love my coffee machine!

 

I didn't expect too much from this machine as it was reasonably cheap for a coffee machine. Well! after 2 years of every day use, it is still going strong and I have at least one coffee every day. It does a really great cappuccino and the froth is very...

I love the convenience of making 'real' coffee with a minimum of fuss. Easy to use and clean.

Okay for the money

 

I only made expressos, so can't comment on the steamer, but it made a good coffee for the money ($100). It died (stopped heating water) after about 2 years, but that's okay, a buck a week works out to less than 5 cents a cup. A $1000 machine would need...

Makes good coffee at a reasonable price

No major issues

Leakage after 4 months of use

 

Was a great machine until it started leaking water all over my kitchen bench top after only 4 months of use! Sunbeam customer service were not very helpful and tried to talk Harris Scarfe out of letting me get a refund- fortunately the lady at Harris...

Inexpensive, easy to use, nice compact design so it didn't take up much room on my benchtop.

Started leaking about a cups worth of water after each use after only 4 months! Sunbeam almost didn't allow me to get a refund. Also some of the parts were not stainless steel so couldn't wash in the dishwasher.

Amazing little thing!!!

 

I want to thank everyone that took the time to review this lovely coffee machine. My husband and I decided to buy this model from Sunbeam after doing some research on different models and the good reviews helped us to decide we should give it a try as...

Inexpensive, compact and reliable!

Nothing! I just love this little machine!!!

Great machine for beginners wanting to learn.

 

I've had this machine for over 2 years and have used it daily to produce 2 to 4 flat whites, it's easy to clean, warms up quickly, and with practice, can produce consistent coffee, I grind my own beans for better control. This is a small machine and...

Inexpensive machine to get you away from Nescafe 43 Bean or worse, Imperial Roast.

None, what do you expect for around a hundred bucks?

Terrible

 

We bought this machine to replace our Saeco machine, which was going to cost $200 to fix. Bad decision. Although it makes the espresso coffee part fine, the steamer doesn't last long enough to heat milk for 2 and didn't produce froth. It is a hassle to...

It was cheap to buy.

Too many bits to clean & didn't heat the milk enough.

Excellent

 

Best value coffee machine on the market! Quickly makes 2 to 4 cups and with great results with flavoured grinds Eg Irish Cream!! Frother is ample once you've learnt how to use it. (Practise makes perfect). Father inlaw has $1000 machine and can't...

Great value, makes a great cup of coffee, easy to use, and clean out.

Do have some dripping from the frother tube, but after 4 years of hard work, I just put a sponge underneath.
