Swan Nordic Espresso Machine, White, 15 bar Pressure, Milk frother, 1.2L Tank, Scandi Style, SK22110WHTN

This is lovely, well worth the money & very easy to use. A coffee lovers dream. Mine gets a lot of use & works well with a ground expresso from a local tea & coffee merchants.

I've had this machine for a year now. I bought this as a temporary machine until I could figure a 'good' one to replace a high end gaggia manual espresso machine that I had for almost a decade beforeit died. For the money, it's surprisingly good, coffee tastes nice, not as a nice as the gaggia but nice enough that I decided to keep this one for as long as it works. It's a nice looking machine, fairly compact and easy to use - mostly. Little things do annoy me though, so the holder for inserting the coffee basket is poorly designed, which means fumbling to place it. My old one, stuck out a bit making it easier to place. It is a little thing and you get used to it, but makes me think with a little more effort when designing could be better. The same for the frother, its ok, but again comparing to my old one it could be better. The obvious negative owning it, is it feels cheap, light and plasticy. It is, for good reason, it's such good value, the price v performance is very good. Overall its nice looking, fairly good performing machine, great value considering the price. And the main thing after a little bit of trial and error you can make coffee's almost as good as the high end machines.

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!

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.

Does the job perfectly, once you know how to use it!! I used a lot of milk trying it out!😂 It is a decent machine!

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.

I love the overall look and design. Once you've made your coffee it's good, however you seem to have to do a lot of messing to make one. As in heating up the machine, not only to you have to wait for temperature after turning on, you then have to run hot water through pipes including your frother and then wait again before doing your coffee and then have to repeat really for a second one so not brilliant but it's a good machine for the cost.

Great little machine, its easy to use, fits Great in my very small kitchen, coffee tastes good, will say as everyone else has it stains so if you are fussed about something like that wouldn't recommend, personally its functionality out weighs this for me but it still is a bit disappointing, weirdly most of the machine cleans easy and does not stain however the back panel does, why they didn't use the same material is beyond me, but im not a coffee machine engineer so maybe there's a reason.

My son picked this out for his birthday after recommendations from several workers at a well known coffee shop. The espresso maker arrived without any damage to the packaging from possible shipment damage; however, the unit did not work right out of the box. The water pump did not function so it was not possible to make espresso. Subsequently we attempted to ship the unit back to the manufacturer. Much to our surprise the shipping cost quoted from several different shipping agents averaged $260 which is over $100 more than the unit itself cost. This makes absolutely no sense. We are longstanding Amazon Prime members that purchase frequently. We have only sent back a handful of items in years of buying that were all damaged of non-functional items right out of the box. This is tremendously disappointing and we will be in contact with Amazon management to see if there is an alternate resolution.

A great coffee machine for the price

Elle mignonne assez facile d'utilisation il m'a fallut du temps pour le mousseur que je n'utilise plus car trop contraignant. De plus elle fait un bruit monstre . Il lui manque un broyeur cela la rendrait à mon sens plus complète vu le prix . Lidl fait exactement la même pour 70 euros !!!!

Première utilisation : l'eau ne s'écoule pas. La pompe ne semble pas fonctionner. Perte de temps.

The color was beautiful and the dimensions as advertised were correct. However it wouldn’t get hot enough or build enough pressure to steam nor would the gage work. Shipping is pricy so be carful what you order.
