Beautiful machine apart from one persistent fault
I have owned my Minore for just over a year after upgrading from a Rancilio Silvia, The difference was dramatic and it makes a beautiful cup of coffee and can pump out a consistent quality beverage time and time again when you have friends / family over. My only issue has been a fault that has now occurred 3 times necessitating a trip back to the store of purchase each time and this thing is really heavy! The pressure stat valve has broken down x3 over the past year, the last one lasting only 3 months before breaking down again. The result is ...Read more
that the steamer tank safety valve blows off continually as it stays on and doesn't turn off automatically as it should when the tank reaches the preset temperature. My most recent visit resulted in an aknowledgement by the staff that they have had a number of units returned with the same problem. To their credit they didn't charge me this time and installed a different model of valve so hopefully (cross fingers) the problem won't recur. Otherwise I'm extremely happy with the machine. It looks great and is easy to use. My only other comment would be that a water tank gauge would be handy to be able to top up the tank before it completely empties.Similar opinion?

This product is OK
Good coffee machine, very nice forth if you have sufficient barista skill. Not giving 5 stars because it is time comsuming to clean it if you only make 1 or 2 cups of coffee a day. It’s good for people who really loves making his/her own coffee and has plenty of time to do so. Otherwise, it’s better to grab one at your favorite cafe. Now it stays in my cupboard.

Excellent coffee machine
I have now owned my Expobar dual boiler coffee machine for over ten years. It is the original model which I understand has been upgraded twice since I purchased mine. I am very fussy with my coffee and take great care to grind the beans immediately before use, weighing both the grind and the water for my espresso coffee. Over the years I have lost count of the number of compliments I have received using this machine. I love it so much that I cannot imagine ever selling or changing it. Creating creamy froth is child's play once you have mast...Read more
ered the technique. It doesn't matter whether low fat or full cream milk is used. The dual boiler and copper heat exchanger allow precision brewing. It has required regular servicing roughly every two years. Various electronic parts have required replacing together with all of the seals. This is one of the few devices that I have purchased in my life that I cannot recommend highly enough. It may not be the flashiest looking coffee machine however it does its job brilliantly.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Poor quality and regretful purchase. 3 Breakdowns in 3 years
What is disappointment.
This machine has been nothing but trouble.
First problem was a digital display failure at 13 months and the shop wouldn’t fix it.
Next a boiler element went and now I’m having continual problems. A really cheap machine and really cheap quality. You get what you pay for and I should have spent more

Expobar Minore
Would have to agree. Have had mine for five years along with an Iberital grinder. I was very lucky to buy the Expobar at half price for a second hand reconditioned model from Abrisca/Coffeetek in East Brisbane. Lucky because they are rarely available second hand. The flat whites that I make are better than any of the coffee shops and apart from 30 minutes initial training at Abrisca I have never been on any courses.
Forget the cheaper machines sold in department stores, these will not last. Buy a commercial quality machine that will allow y...Read more
ou to make great coffee, buy it along with a good grinder and buy them from somewhere like Abrisca/Coffeetek, who not only roast and sell their own beans but sell and service coffee machines. They will show you how to use the machine, clean the machine and also set up the grinder and provide ongoing support like showing you how to change the seal down the track.Similar opinion?

Splash out and buy it
We we're sick and tired of buying coffee machines that did not do the job. We wanted a good Latte like the shops make every morning. We bought four different machines and ALL had to be returned because of faults. Take my word for it, if you want a good morning Latte or Cu Pacino splash out, pay the extra bucks and have a great machine that will last. I did my homework on this machine... it is all made in Germany and Spain, not that other place. We are so pleased with this machine although took a little getting used to. I am making lattes BETTER...Read more
than we get anywhere in town. It is so fun tweaking the machine and learning the techniques that the pros' use. I would advise anyone not to buy a Chinese made machine and bite the bullet and get this machine. It is all stainless and obviously well made with exceptional care. You'd think I had shares in Expobar wouldn't you.... I don't . I just LOVE this E61 machine. It's the way coffee should be made not with plastic parts and with a machine that was made to do the job not just look pretty ( although it looks great in the kitchen ). The owner at the shop where we bought it couldn't be more helpful. They are coffee nuts so it's their job to make us happy. The perfect coffee it makes once you get the hang of it. You can turn the boiler off if you are just doing shots... saves money. Can't think of anything although next time, maybe in twenty years, I'd go for the plumbed one, saves you filling the resovoir .Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Hi, I have an Expobar Model 016010102, Office Control/Pulser, for approx 3yrs, I do like this machine, has not failed me till now. The problem is that when I turn it on in the morning it doesn't seem to engage! it either just makes a brr brr brr noise and then the red light below the switch keeps flashing and clicking on and off. I have had it looked at twice now by two different Expobar registered people and they say there is nothing wrong! they can't find the fault! Has anyone else experienced the same problem and how was it resolved? Thanks you, Lesley F.

Is it an intermittent problem? If so, can I suggest you wait until the fault occurs and then video it with your phone camera, bring it back to the repair shop and show them exactly what the issue is.....
thank you plodder, did that and have had the 'switch' changed and machines seems to be working fine now, cheers Lesley F
