Makes great coffee. Had it for years. Highly recommend.

published

My first machine leaked from the bottom but customer service was brilliant and they replaced it pronto. Love that I can buy the pods from Coles and Woolworths as no Nespresso store around here. Love the flavour of the coffee as well, and I class myself as a coffee snob.

Purchased in June 2021 at Coles for $79.00.

Coffee pours into pod catch tray

published

13 month old, Capino machine dumps two thirds of the coffee from the pod into the pod catch tray and only a third into the cup. Works fine during the cleaning process but not with pod inserted.

Love it

published

I absolutely love my coffee machine. Its easy to use and easy to clean. It makes my morning rush that bit easier as I can get a nice cup going with the press of a button and make my lunch at the same time. The pods taste great and have a reasonable selection, could do with some more though.

Purchased in December 2021.

Landfill

Yet another thumbs down for pod not being pierced. Vittoria, if it isn't addressed, the avalanche of complaints is going to rival the avalanche of machines in landfill. So sad.

RUBBISH FRUSTRATED..

published

..I bought this machine and was SO excited as always loved Vittoria Coffee. What a disaster of a machine. Cant get it fixed in NZ. only got 6 months out of this machine. Just wish I could go to somewhere to make them accountable or even get it fixed. Tried just and expensive phone call to Australia for nothing. Dont buy this machine it was rubbish. :-(((( Lovely Coffee when it worked. Not consistent. A rubber ring has gone it seems.

Frustrating to use

published

Most of the coffee ends up in the waste pod reservoir on at least 2 out of three tries. Very frustrating and wasteful. There are no refillable pods available for this machine and only a limited range of coffee. I wouldn't buy this make again. Planning to replace asap.

Excellent for what we want

published

We usually drink plunger coffee but were recently introduced to espresso coffee. It is excellent if I am on my own or my wife just wants a short black. We like all of the coffees available although the tastes don't seem to vary very much. The coffee is quite hot enough and never tastes burnt or bitter. I should mention that we received the coffee machine gratis after purchasing 8 packets of pods during a promotion.

Good range of coffee

published

The quality of the coffee belonging to the Espressotoria range is above average. There is a wide range of coffee pods to choose from which can be bought online or from your local grocery store like Coles and Woolworths. The machine is simple to use and makes the perfect coffee every time.

Purchased in March 2021 at Coles for $49.00.

Dodgy coffee machine

published

These coffee machines are extremely expensive to run (coffee pods are so expensive), and I've had to replace the machine four times under warranty. Machine number 5 has now started leaking. So, could not recommend these dodgy machines at all. Even the strongest blend of coffee pod - Mountain blend requires two pods to make a decent sized cup of coffee.

Just don't do it!

published

I have had 9 of these machines. I have had the original machines without the flashing lights and the updated versions with all the flashing lights. I have contacted customer service and received responses but all inadequate. Today I got the worst cup of coffee of my entire life. Burnt and watery. Even the capsules are inconsistently made and some of the plastic bottoms are so hard, they cannot be pierced, so all your coffee goes into the overflow.
I am, finally, moving onto another coffee machine.

I’ve had this machine since 2016

published

I bought my machine back in 2016. It’s still working but not as well as when I first got it. Recently it has started to leak and the coffee isn’t coming out properly (I have to put the same capsule through twice). The coffee pods are quite expensive (about $9-$10) for 12 Vittoria coffee capsules. I tend to buy them when they are on special from coles and Woolworths.

Espressotoria Capino warranty issue

published

Stay away from Espressotoria Capino company. Warranty issue with machine and did not honour it appropriately, the attitude and communication terrible. Now have a Breville Duo temp and real coffee, so much better so they did me a favour in a way.

This is not perfect

published

The coffee is great I use the Mountain Grown very satisfied .
This is the 5th machine I have had but like the rest it has started to leak from inside the machine and leaks all over the counter.
This one lasted a bit longer and is now out of warranty
After all the comments about the leaking this problem should have been fixed by now.
The machine is great to use and the temperature is just right but for the leaking, come on Vittoria please get this fixed.

It's great, but needs to be more eco-friendly.

published

If I'm running behind and need a quick shot, it does very well. Warms up quickly and provides stronger coffee than its competition (bigger capsule size). But I always feel guilty with all the plastic. Someone needs to make a stainless cup, or even single use paper ones...

Espresso is ok when the machine is functioning properly, but machine appears to be compromised by poor design and failed

published

I purchased this machine after 12 faithful years of service from a proper manual espresso machine that finally failed. I was initially impressed with the ease of use and general quality of the espresso, however requires two capsules to achieve required strength. After a few months the machine started leaking espresso liquid around the base. Eventually the espresso would only end up in the capsule bin, not in the cup. The machine was purchased from Woolworths but I had registered the warranty online through Vittoria. I contacted Vittoria who have arranged a replacement, I'll see how that one goes, if no good I'll get a refund.

Purchased in November 2021 at Woolworths for $50.00.

I have a new machine that I kept in the box for a long time, so I no longer have the receipt. It does not pierce the pods at all on the receiving side - the side closest to where the coffee comes out. Yes, I am using the correct pods; I bought this one for work and have the exact same machine at home.

their customer service was brilliant so contact them, as they may still help you.

Do you hear a click when you close the lid after putting the capsule in? This is the piercing noise. Try to close it harder and if that doesn't work, ring customer service.

I bought this machine today I have read the instructions. When I place the capsule in it keeps falling straight to the collection bin. What am I doing wrong?

When you drop the pod in, they only just make contact, so do it gently.
Otherwise take it back to the shop & swap it.
I just ditched my faulty one & got another, begrudgingly got the same model & ONLY cause it was free with 7 boxes of pods purchased!

...& I'm now leaving the plunger open on my new machine after use. This may or may not prevent the seal from losing form, which killed my old one!
