SwanSK22110WHTN Nordic Espresso Coffee Machine with Milk Frother, Steam Pressure Control, 1.2L Detachable Water Tank, 1100W, Nordic Cotton White

Unlike other reviews, I followed the instructions, cleaned it out before first use and had no terrible smells or taste. Produced lovely cappuccinos. Plus I have a very large cappuccino mug which fits nicely under the despenser. Yes I have to tilt it to get it under but then it fits beautifully. Steamer makes lovely frothy milk. I like the light that tells you when the steamer is ready. If you don't want to spend mega bucks this does a lovely job. The coffee tastes better than in my previous machine. You get flavour but as I don't like it too strong the smaller dispenser makes it just right for me. It feels sturdy and I love the beige colour

Great little coffee maker. Looks good, light (ideal for the caravan) and the results are fantastic. Great value for money. Nice for those who don't like pods.

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 😍😍😍

Very good coffee maker, but if you buy the cream one beware that coffee splashes are impossible to clean, bleach etc no good. SO after 2 weeks it looks like it is ten yrs old and never cleaned. This pic is after cleaning!

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!

First read the manual to get familiar with the unit and controls, then flush the unit well before first use! I flushed my unit through 4 or 5 times to rid the plastic taint form the unit (you can smell the plastic taint in the water fade with each flush - be very careful though as the water is very HOT!). I think I went through 2/3rds of a tank of water to clear the issue. So far the unit has only been used to make espressos and no plastic taste was noticed. Apart from espresso, the machine will also facilitate cappuccino, latte, Americano, flat white, mocha, and will even give hot chocolate a nice touch (according to the manual).The unit looks and feels a quality build even though it doesn't weigh very much, and of a small but practical enough size for a standard kitchen. Not being much of a milky coffee lover, the frothing wand hasn't been used yet.Having procrastinated for quite a few weeks being put off by negative reviews of many brands, I was a little reluctant to take the plunge, but if you follow the above regarding flushing the unit well, you should have good results. Use a good coffee bean, and grind for espresso, otherwise the grounds can 'cake' in the filter.If you find the coffee splashes during the pour, simply wipe it with a damp cloth once the pour has finished - many people have complained of coffee staining due to splashing, but it's common sense really.

Great machine for the price, coming from a barista. Only few issues such as the temperature takes a while for the steam wand and the steam wand is somewhat difficult to clean and use as it is small. (I’d recommend purchasing a super small pitcher)I didn’t receive a tamper with mine, I contacted the seller and they still didn’t send me the tamper which made my experience much more difficult and expensive !Other than this, I totally reccomend this for beginners, it is beautiful and easy to use, it is small enough to fit in your kitchen and the coffee tastes great as long as you drain the shot a few times before using it with coffee.

The machine is really nice looking, fab design, its actually pretty fun to use with the milk frother, comes with a single and double shot sized insert, really simple to use, I knocked a star off just because a lot of the coffees I tried in this just didn't taste great, I think this was due to me using ground coffee, I moved onto using ese coffee bag/pods and the difference is crazy, it tastes just like a coffee id get from the cafe! Deffo recommend using ese with this machine 😊
