This coffee machine should come with a warning ⚠️
This machine is so easy to use AND clean, plus it makes the BEST coffee! Because of this machine, my coffee intake has significantly increased, I find myself wanting more!!!! I have to consciously resist or I would drink coffee all day and night!
Before purchase, I read some reviews that claimed the coffee could be hotter. I have not found that to be the case. I followed the instructions to prime the machine (which would be important) then make my coffee. Any hotter and it would blister my mouth!
This is the perfect machine for people wanting a compact, efficient and economical machine that makes great coffee!

Excellent Value
Makes a great coffee and is easy to use. This is a good product for those who want to use fresh beans (no pods) and don’t want to have to froth the milk themselves. The milk frother had a metal nozzle that fell off however it was probably decorative as the plastic nozzle underneath works perfectly fine. All in all a good product for a very reasonable price.

Great cafe style coffee
We love making coffee now each morning with the EM5000 unit. It's simple to use and easy to clean and is a great addition to every morning. The heat could be a little hotter for my liking but my parter says it's all fine and that its just me that things it's not hot

Thanks for the great review Penny! The water temperature is set to 92 degrees which is the optimum temperature for the extraction process!

Disappointed in the EM5000 product life
The EM5000 started out beautifully except that the coffee was never very hot. It is only used for a breakfast coffee, it is cleaned after every time it is used and descaled as per the manual but it has not lasted. It is not quite two years old and no longer froths in cappuccino and does not make a large cup coffee on automatic. About the only way is a manual latte to get any milk. Sunbeam would only consider a replacement up until 18 months. This really should have made it to two years. It seems that others have purchased it have had faults before two years of age sadly. Not good. I would not buy it again. I expect more years of service for a product that is only used to make about three coffees a day.

Hi August!! Have you checked out the operating functions on page 12 -14 on the instruction booklet? There are step to step guides on how to add froth and increase the amount of water used in the extraction process!
Yes I have thank you but no improvement.
Any more suggestions Sunbeam? I replaced the milk dispenser but very little improvement.

Great coffee to start your day
I purchase this machine approx 7 months ago. I wanted a machine which frothed milk, and this looked like the best affordable. I did not want to spend thousands. Only sad this machine does not grind coffee beans. I am buying ground coffee at the supermarket. I love the features, automatic cleaning and automatic milk frothing, removable milk compartment. The flavour is amazing! I never have to have takeaway coffee anymore.

Easy to use
Hubby brought this and wanted something simple to use and we got that. Great price and love we can use whatever coffee we like.
Just one button to clean product after use.
Love that we can take the milk container off and pop into fridge.
Super easy to use, only has a few buttons and had options of what type of coffee you want. As we as how much milk you would like.
Highly recommend to anyone.

Lovely Machine Great Coffee
Great coffee from this machine. I know from experience and family that coffee machines go up and down in results and quality but this is one of the better ones. I can dial up really decent lattes and you would think they were from a cafe. It gets used daily and all weekend. Simple top use and easy to clean - good machine!

Cafe Coffee At Home
This is a real pleasure to use. I feel that I have the hang of it now after some time learning its tricks. I can get cafe quality lattes whenever I wish now which may or may not be a good thing (been drinking way to may lol) It is easy enough to use but there are a few quirks to getting the most from it so I recommend really reading the manual properly. The machine is well made and looks good in our kitchen - a good purchase.

A challenge but a great machine
It was a steep learning curve for me using this machine but am now finding it is making the best coffees and lattes. Easy instructions to understand. The machine is easy to use and easy to clean even though I am making multiple coffees a day. I am very pleased with this purchase

Good machine for the price under 200
This a good coffee machine, it has 3 decent coffee setting and the coffee turns out amazing, the frother is good too, I just wish it could be abit hotter but other than that it is good value for money, cleaning the coffee machine is a breeze as well, just flush water through and cleans very well. Good coffee machine for the price!!!!!

Great tasting coffee
After years of buying coffee when out, I finally bought a coffee machine. I had never used one before and didn't want to spend too much money on my first coffee machine. I found this little machine, which is fantastic value, easy to use, easy to clean and the coffee tastes great. I am very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone.

Easy to use, easy to clean! Great coffee
My mother in law bought this for us in April and we are really happy with it! We had a pod machine previously and the coffee just didnt taste as nice as a cafe coffee. This taste just like a cafe coffee but its so easy because the milk froths itself and the froth is hot thankfully!
Cleaning this machine is super easy which i appreciate as i am a busy mother. So far i would defiantly recommend it!

Really Excellent Lattes
I love this machine. It saves me $4 every morning and has already paid for itself! I bought this because my sister has the exact same machine and she recommenced it. It really does deliver the goods. Coffee just like a cafe would make with beautifully frothed milk. Its all in getting good quality grounds and applying just the right pressure when patting it down. Get it just right and you will have THE best coffees. The machine itself is well made and completely reliable and you just need to keep the water tank full and the drip tray empty - plus the occasional descale.
It really is a great machine!

Value for money
We have had no issues at all. The machine is easy to use and incredible value for money! The contrils are very are simple to follow. The machine also has a great option of using a cup or mug. The water and milk container are both a good size. The machine is also easy to clean.

Convenient and makes a good coffee
I like the features this machine offers in being able to use auto or manual. Works every time. The milk storage, heating and automatic milk cleaning functions are easy to use. Like the fact the milk container can be stored in the refrigerator. I prefer to use machine to heat and froth milk into a seperate frother to give a better froth. Price is reasonable.

Sunbeam Cafe Barista EM5000 has been working great for years. But Sunbeam make a better filter baske
My previous review I mentioned how great the coffee machine was but it has taken me two years to work out when people come over I sometimes make a great coffee and others not so good.
I have been using the one that comes with the machine but this Sunbeam double floor two cup filter works MUCH better. It did not come with the machine.

or years as they are better being freshly roasted but .now I have changed to Aldi $11 a kilo roasted beans in the Red and Black packet. Great beans is my opinion. So it is worth trying the Sunbeam EM4300 EM6910 EM7000 PU8000 Dual Floor 2 Cup Filter EM6910102 Col1 comment
Sorry the review was on a Sunbeam EM7000 Coffee Machine Basket but might fit the EM5000 machine. Check if it is the same size before you buy.

Amazing!!
My hubby got this for me on valentines day! I always use the gloria jeans caramel infusion. Its a great machine! It never fails and every coffee tastes the same, even the temperature is the same ever cup. It is so simple to use and the clean up is so quick and easy.

Disappointed
We previously owned a very basic Sunbeam coffee machine which we were very happy with and it lasted a long time. We therefore were confident in buying another Sunbeam model. Sadly, we have been very disappointed. It is not as solid or robust as the older model - everything is plastic and flimsy feeling. The milk dispenser has stopped working properly after about 12 months and is difficult to clean. The pressure seems to vary considerably - sometimes there is lots of water left in the coffee basket after making the coffee, sometimes it is quite dry. I won't be buying one again.

Hi, is coffee meant to come when you press the late option? I only get coffee when I press espresso and cappuccino.

Hi there, I just received my unit and have tried it out twice. Both times the milk was really frothy even though I had the froth on the lowest setting. Any ideas? Thanks
