Swan SK22110WHTN Nordic Espresso Coffee Machine with Milk Frother, Steam Pressure Control, 1.2L Detachable Water Tank, 1100W, Nordic Cotton White

This coffee machine is sooo cute and makes such a great espresso.I am working in a coffee shop and I can say it make such a good espresso and for this price is bargain.Totally recomanded!!!!Also for those who said the water pump is not working I need to mention that there is a little rubber lid that needs to be taken of from the bottom of the water tang to be able to circulate the water in the machine.First I thought the same why is not wirking but look a bit ,you'll figure it out.Very simple to use 😍😍😍

This was a replacement for the first one I bought after it developed a faulty with the steamer (wouldn't turn off!) this one works perfectly and makes a really nice coffee (or maybe that's me!!) the milk frother is efficient and a good size and the whole unit is very sturdy. The speed of the heating up is really good and it is very easy to use. Bit recommended for children obviously! The material can be hard to clean but if you clean-as-you-go l, it won't be a problem. The colour is just as advertised and it's a beautiful looking appliance.

Saw a review from a pro on YouTube after I bought this and was worried . But it works! I can make a lovely coffee (to my taste) and I’m getting the hang of making latte art !It’s a bit annoying having to wait for the steam wand to function from the initial pour of the coffee but it’s only a few seconds so enough time to get milk from fridge .Yeah the cream material plastic is a bit annoying cause the coffee has stained it. Coffee stains if it splashes . I rested an empty puck on the top and it stained the top too! Doesn’t stop its function! But after all I paid like £90 for it! It’s not a £500 sage unit! The buttons are easy to use and I enjoy making coffee with it !You need to get yourself a metal jug !

I've really tried to get on with this product and questioned whether I was doing something wrong as it simply seems incapable of making a decent coffee.For comparison, my previous coffee maker broke after 6 months and had to be returned but the one before that lasted 33 years before it started leaking steam. Both machines made a good cup of coffee and were easy to use.My issues with the Swan machine are as follows:1. The temperature gauge doesn't get to the 'cup' symbol before the green light comes on and the heating stops, so the coffee is weak and quite watery.2. The machine is bulky (yet light and plasticky,) yet only makes a double shot, so it is useless for more than 2 people or one person who needs a caffeine hit.3. The coffee holder locks tight with the hear and is nigh on impossible to remove after use. I have to wait until the machine has cooled down, which takes about half an hour.All in all it is a white elephant which looks pretty but fails to fulfil its only purpose of making coffee.I have gone back to using my stove top coffee pot whilst I work out what to do with this piece of junk.

I have been reading the reviews on and off for about 4 months before finally deciding to go ahead and buy the machine.At first the coffee tasted awful and like plastic but I did a good wash through with vinegar and water and then water twice and since then the taste has been perfect.It’s really easy to use, heats up quickly and I would say takes about 5 mins to make a coffee.In regards to stains and splatters- if it’s not twisted in tight enough the coffee splatters, but once you have made your coffee clean the machine down immediately and no staining.This is a perfect machine for if you want to start making espresso at home and see if you use your machine enough before making a proper investment! I’m so pleased I took the plunge and bought it. It also is so gorgeous aesthetically!

Only have one month but has made at least 60 coffees and working perfect

I owned this machine for 2 years before it died on me. I work as a barista professionally, and I've worked with a number of at-home and professional coffee machines. If you are a beginner home barista, this product will work for you. If you are a more experienced at-home or professional barista, I'd opt for another machine.You cannot programme this machine, you need to simply press the coffee button and stop it when your desired weight is reached. The espresso you can achieve from this machine is okay, and if you use pre-ground coffee with this machine it can come out decently if you use upwards of 15g and experiment with different varieties of pre-ground coffee.The steam wand is...yikes. It's built with a curve that you cannot change, and is therefore too short for many types of jugs. I recommend a jug fit for flat whites if anything. If you leave the external piece on the wand, you will only end up with cappuccino milk (very frothy) and very little texturing. I've gotten the best milk by removing the metal piece and using only the wand's barebone metal. I've been able to have okay at best texturing this way. I'd stick to espresso drinks or cappuccino's. If you don't mind extra froth in your latte (not a latte at that point but more like a wet cappuccino) then go for it.One day I use fresh ground coffee from my workplace to see how it tasted in this machine at home. As I don't have a grinder at home I just ground the coffee beforehand. This seemingly broke my machine. I have no idea why or how, but the espresso came out and then the machine died. From thereon out when I used my normal grounds, no water would come out of the machine, or very little. I took the whole thing apart but because of how the machine is build, I couldn't reach in very deep to mess with the water tubes. I assume something either got stuck or a pipe got disconnected, but never figured out the issue fully as the machine is almost built as one piece entirely and you have to go through the bottom to open it up.I contacted customer service, who gave instructions to purge it. Which I did...multiple times. But alas, the machine broke. £100 for 2 years is not a bad deal, but just be careful of the grounds you put into your machine if you want it to last a while. Since then I've upgraded massively. And I'll say that this machine served its purpose albeit for not as long as I'd have liked.
