We've had our coffee machine for one year now, purchased from COTD on sale. Very happy with our purchase to date. It makes a lovely coffee, tailored to your personal preference. It is very flexible in that it can handle both beans, as well as ground coffee. Easy to maintain and keep clean. We have previously purchased a DeLonghi oil filled column heater, and that has lasted over 10 years so we are hoping for a similarly good result with our coffee machine.

Versatile machine make several different types of coffees. Able to use both beans and grinded coffee in machine. Also able to adjust strength of coffee to individual liking with each coffee cup made. Has a My Coffee memory to make your favourite with a press of a button. QUICK heating of water. Self flushing of water pipes for self cleaning. Tells you what to do with a screen display and when maintenance is required {descale machine}. 9 year old able to use machine, can make her own Hot chocolate and a cappuccino for me. Milk froth is light and airy makes a great cappuccino.
Negative side is that you need to frequently top up water tank, but easy done. You need to put your own sugar into you cup.
