This is a quality machine
This machine is easy to use
This machine is easy to clean
This machine produces a great shot of coffee.
As with all coffee machines you have to have a bit of know how to make this machine sing, but when it does, is glorious.
The shot presets are a good amount for single and dual shot, and manual is always there for more.
Pressure is good, not great, but produces a good quality froth. Not quite as silky as expected from bigger machines, but very good for a home machine.
The only con I can find is that insects And stuff live to somehow squeeze into the water compartment at the back. Not sure if that's a fault with the seal. (Could be just mine)
Overall, great machine for the price you pay!

Excellent coffee machine for everyday use.
It’s been my daily for over a year now and it extracts shots perfectly every time. Pairs well with a Breville conical burr grinder to create the ultimate barista level cup of coffee.
Excellent construction, very easy to clean and the dual boiler feature is something you can’t go back from. Definitely recommend.

Good and reliable machine ever.
Have been using it for the past two years, never found any problem. ease of use and price is very reasonable.
Very easier to learn and use and you could heat up the milk and making expresso at the same time, which not many other machine is able to do it.

Love my coffee now!
We bought this coffee machine when my husband started to work from home permanently! Very happy since, as he can get his fresh coffee without the hassle of driving to the coffee shop! Easy to use, to clean! The dual cup mode is very clever and handy for 2 of us! My daughter loves this machine too because she can enjoy her hot chocolate with the foaming milk at the top! Just make sure to clean and dry the milk pressure tip after every use so it doesn’t get blocked!

Good Coffee Machine
Having used both this machine as well as it’s predecessor, the EM6900, I find this one to be a bit fussier when it comes to the coffee extraction, so it’s best to buy whole coffee beans rather than pre-ground coffee. It requires a very finely ground coffee to extract properly. The milk frother is excellent.

Great Little Unit
Good Coffee Maker,easy to use.the gauges take all the guess work out
large water tank,but being at the back it is difficult to refill.
the seal leaks a bit between the head and the machine,with a bit of trial and error this is easily fixed
I would recommend this MACHINE MAKES GREAT COFFEE

This is a great coffee maker
I had a little prob when the coffee filter cup cracked, but they could not have been more helpful and Quickly sent another replacement filter cup.
I use the machine every morning and freshly grind the coffee beans in my sunbeam burr grinder, it makes all the difference and look at the money I have saved, $55 a week love it.

Disappointed
It was a fair machine but when it broke down, sunbeam told us to go to their preferred repairer, Bravo who charges you about $88 to tell you the cost of repair is as much as a new machine. Then Bravo offered to sell us a reconditioned machine instead of repair for slightly less than the repair and with only a 3 month warranty. We decided to pick up our old machine unrepaired. When we came to pick it up Bravo said it wasn’t ready, despite the fact we called ahead to check, so we insisted and they eventually posted it back to us. We wrote to Sunbeam with our concerns via their website. We were ignored.

proffesional clean looking machine easy to use
water tank is quite large which is good. temp gauges allow for correct temp to be reached. very easy and straightforward to use, easy to clean. coffee tastes good from this machine and would recommend for any application. we use it daily to make 4 to 6 cups and it hasn't missed a beat.

Have had it for 5 or more years now.
Great coffee machine. We use it everyday. Only once did it stop working but we fixed it by giving the head a clean. Makes great coffee and came with a free grinder. Bought it from the good guys for around $599 i think.
Always happy with Sunbeam products & always reliable.

Is ok but consider other brands
I purchased this for the office, the machine is well built and works ok. However I struggle to get a good coffee out of it. I have a Breville machine at home which produces a much better brew. The steam wand is great on this machine with lots of pressure.

Great home coffee machine
Really good home coffee machine. I haven't experienced any technical issues after owning the machine for over three years, and making coffee daily. Coffee tastes good. Obviously not as a good as what you'd get in a cafe with a commercial machine, but more than passable for a home coffee.

disappointingly troublesome machine
Trouble with machine since new as it would not work properly until I purchased a new grinder and sunbeam sent me double walled baskets. After 3 months milk temperature dropped by 10 plus degrees and machine sent away for nearly 1 month and a new thermobloc unit fitted. Machine temperature worked well for another 3 months before the same fault of milk temperature occurred and i went through a proceedure advised by sunbeam which seemed to work but alas only once and machine is now giving 10 to 12 degrees under temperature milk as against an indep...Read more
endent gauge. I repeated this proceedure 2 times but temperature still not up to where it should be. I have to heat the milk by coffee machines gauge to between 75 and 80 degrees to get a hot coffee at 65 degrees by my independent gauge. I'm pretty fed up with this machine and would not recommend it. When it worked it was good but for the money it's just not good enough. My old cheap no frills machine worked faultlessly for 10 years before I decided to get a better (?) machine which turns out to be problematic.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great tasting coffee
The EM7000 makes great coffee but be prepared for a learning curve. I was very frustrated with it at first because the coffee produced depends a lot on operator skill.
Now I have the grinding and tamping to the right level, I feel I get cafe quality coffee 95% of the time.
The coffee, I would say, is not quite hot enough but I steam my long black water and that fixes the temperature issue.
Great machine!

Limited & Frustrating
This machine is hard work. Totally sensitive to the level of coffee grind which means I have spent an absolute FORTUNE trying to find a coffee grind that agrees with this machine, so I can get a half decent coffee. Salesperson didn't warn me about this. At no point was I prepared for this annoying feature. My coffee grinder won't even grind to suit this machine. I refuse to buy a new grinder. Coffee is either too watery or the pump is working so hard to push coffee out I could do a load of washing waiting. I am not a coffee novice. I can make c...Read more
offee. Sunbeam sent me a double basket to apparently solve the problem...and I see through various other reviews this is happened to other people...so it's a problem with this machine if they have to send a double basket to make the machine function better. Coffee isn't very hot either and adjusting the temperature as per the manual instructs makes no difference whatsoever. I've been really patient I feel trying to adjust to this machine...even though I've got about 20 packets of coffee in my cupboard all useless to the EM7000!!! Sunbeam were very helpful right up until they sent the double basket and now they are not replying to my follow up emails. Now I'm very, very angry!2 comments
The end to this story is I eventually returned the machine to Harvey Norman who were absolutely amazing! The manager patiently listened to my entire experience and efforts to get this machine working ... Read more
well and ultimately agreeing that it was unacceptable that I could not use any pre-ground coffee successfully in this machine. They took it back in the blink of an eye and allowed me to accept a credit or select another machine. Thank you Harvey Norman for doing everything that Sunbeam wouldn’t do.Similar opinion?

Good machine
We have had two of these machines over the past ten or so years and could not be happier. both machines were bought at the factory outlet and are(were) seconds. They cost about half of their retail cost.and both have worked almost perfectly. The only thing that doesn't seem to work properly is the pressure gauges. However, We never look at them anyway as they are not important if you know how to pack the coffee into the portafilter. It is important to have a fine grind and to fill the portafilter enough as to not leave a gap between the PF and the group head otherwise the high pressure from the pumps will force the water through too quickly resulting on a not so good coffee.

Great coffee, easy to use.
Lashed out and spent over $750 on this little beauty. It hasn’t missed a beat. I have it working 7 days a week. Easy to clean. I have only noticed just this week that the handle doesn’t come off as easy as it used to once the coffee has brewed. I have to jiggle it otherwise it can get stuck. Could be rubbers need replacing.. will contact sunbeam and see what they say. Otherwise pretty happy. Owned for about 18 months.

Questions & Answers
Jade C.asked
Hi,
I bought this just over a week ago, upgraded from the minni barista.
I don’t think the pressure is working in the machine. The pressure gauge does not move when pulling shots (I have played around with grind size and amount of coffee in a double shot). We are getting no creamer either.
Could this be faulty?
2 answers
The pressure pump in my unit broke at the neck and had to be replaced. As your unit is only a week old it should be covered by warranty. The machine makes great cappuccinos.
Start with freshly ground beans. If your beans are old, no amount of fine grinding will save them. The grind size should be fine for espresso coffee. The degree is fineness required fluctuates during the day, so play around with this. Pack the ground beans tightly into the basket. If the grind is not fine enough the water will go straight through without registering on the dial. Does the machine pump water for a black coffee (tap on rhs of the machine)? If not there is a problem.
