bk Traditional Barista Pump Espresso Coffee Machine

Nicest coffee machine you will ever buy!

This coffee machine is hands down the best I’ve ever owned. I was a bit sceptical about the price but it was on promotion so I was lucky! It’s definitely worth it. It’s light and doesn’t bounce when you lift the handle. The water capacity could be bigger but it’s fine as I’m the only coffee drinker here. I love the pod-adjustable feature for multi-functionality though ground coffee is farrrrrr superior! It also looks great in my kitchen and the coffee gets really hot so I can make it first and then have breakfast. It’s perfect for enjoying a hot drink while I eat. Plus it’s super easy to clean

Great Entry-Level Espresso Machine

The coffee quality is impressive for a machine in this price range. The 15 bar pressure ensures a good extraction, resulting in rich and flavourful espresso with a nice crema. The cappuccino system works well too, producing perfectly frothed milk for lattes and cappuccinos. I’ve also used ESE pods with this machine, and they work seamlessly, adding convenience when I’m in a rush.

Great starter machine – with a little upgrade, it’s a proper café at home

BUT – if you really want to fall in love with it, do yourself a favour and get a bottomless portafilter and a 4-cup basket. The one it comes with is fine for casual use, but the upgrade lets you brew stronger, smoother shots with much better flow and less fuss. It really brings the machine to life.

Customer X

Love it but have moved on

Getting good results with this machine takes some research and practice if you’re a newcomer to home espresso as I very definitely was. There are plenty of expert guides online that can teach you the fundamentals and believe me it’s a well worthwhile exercise. It is also dependent on you also getting a good espresso capable grinder. If you only used the supplied pressurised basket/portafilter and use prepackaged supermarket ground coffee then you will get fairly low to average quality results. Using the supplied basket/portafilter with home ground beans fresh from a roastery will get you bette

A nice, good quality, reasonable priced coffee maker

This is my first “proper” coffee machine. I’ve wanted one for a long time and finally bought this based on price and the positive reviews. I think it is a good machine for the money, makes a nice cup of coffee and looks good on the kitchen counter. I don’t have anything negative to say about it. The only thing I would say is that I don’t use it as often as I thought I would. On some days I enjoy the ritual of making a good cup of coffee but for speed of drinking that coffee I still use coffee bags which I find, having tried several but now found one I really enjoy, make a good cup of coffee.
