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.

Quality home coffee machine
After getting out of bed in the morning the first thing is to turn on my EM7000 Coffee machine and get ready for a breakfast coffee.
The machine looks good and feels very solid - almost feels like a compact commercial machine. The controls need a bit of explanation so it is worth reading the instructions. Once you are familiar with how everything works it is straight forward to use.
The coffee pressure gauge is useful as it helped refine the grind and quality of the coffee pour. A quality grinder is required to get the best out of th...Read more
e machine with a fine grind needed for operation. The milk temperature gauge is useful but the recommended range always seems too hot. Frothing the milk also takes a while to get used to even if you are experienced at it. With a bit of practice I found I could reliably produce a quality coffee comparable to a cafe quality. The heat mechanism also enables you to pour the coffee and froth the milk straight after. The machine does enable coffees to be made in quick succession suitable for home entertaining. Filling the water reserve and cleaning the drip tray are simple and easily completed. Very happy with the reliability, coffee quality and overall function of this machine. I would recommend it for anyone seeking a quality home coffee machine that will reliably produce great tasting coffee. Just spend a bit of time learning how to use the machine..

Sunbeam Cafe Series Espresso EM 7000
If you want a great competitively priced coffee machine you cant go past the Sunbeam EM 7000.
The Sunbeam brand is a household name in Australia for appliances and one can see why.
They are well made,great looking and last for ages.
The EM 7000 is just another appliance testifying to Sunbeam quality.Not only that you get a great coffee out of this machine whatever your favourite cup.So many of my friends who have also purchased an EM 7000 can't be wrong.

Had to return 2 of these machines
I was quite happy with this machine at first. Coffee was great and the milk frother worked well too. Standby noise was quite annoying, but overall the machine performed as it should, for this sort of money.
However it started leaking around the group head after 3 months and we realised that the seal needed replacing. Sunbeam immediately agreed that the machine should be replaced. We got a replacement machine but the second machine had a faulty pressure gauge. So we returned it as well, the day after getting it, and decided to go another brand instead.

My 3rd Sunbeam Cafe Series, love them!
These are great machines. There is a bit to learn in order to produce great coffee, and you need to be patient. I would also suggest having a good grinder as the grind of the coffee is quite important. With this machine you are able to pour your shot and texture the milk at the same time, this makes the process much quicker. The milk steamer is not commercial grade, but pretty close in my opinion. All in all a great semi automatic coffee machine.

Never buy coffee away from home again
I love the Sunbeam coffee machines, they seem to get the balalnce right beween price, functionality, product quality and of course the best-tasting coffee.I have previously owned the Cafe series, apart from replacing a seal around the head, afer 6 years I have passed this onto my son at Uni, where he has an orderly queue of fellow students waiting for their morning shots!. The twin tank design ensures the steam is maintained at a constant pressure resulting in the best foamy milk you have ever tasted, its quite easy, with a little practice, to ...Read more
get the frothed milk perfect, works just as well with Almond and Soya milk, and of couse makes the best hot chocolate. This machine makes approx 60 coffees a week, as we have no shortage of friends popping in for a realy good coffee. Its handy to be able to increasse the 'dose' by fitting the two cup inner filter into the group head, makes a realy powerful mug that keeps you going untill the next one. Have tried the capsules, in the office, they just dont have the same flavour, paricularly if you are fussy in buying the 100% Arabica beans, which I oonly buy on specials from Coles and Woolies.Overall very happy with Sunbeam Coffee machines, this is my second in 10 years.Similar opinion?

Good Coffee At a reasonable price .
We used to have a $1600 Saeco one button coffee machine which lasted about 5 years before it died, so that's what I can compare it to .
The coffee tastes better . Its a lot more work than simply pressing a button and getting a coffee but it's better coffee . I'm sure this machine is no harder than any other manual machine to clean etc but it simply can't compete in the lazy me stakes .
To be honest I was happier with the one touch as I found the coffee adequate but I'm not 100% sure I could go back now . Well played Sunbeam, Well played .

The first coffee was perfect but.....
We have used a base model Sunbeam coffee maker for in excess of 10 years and we have been happy with its performance. We knew it wouldn't last so some months ago started researching what next. Poor old girl finally died last week and we came to the conclusion that the Sunbeam EM7000 was the one. They have brought out a later model the EM7100 which comes with a capsule option but we didn't want to pay more for something we were highly unlikely to use. We made our first coffee....heaven. Wondered why we had waited so long. THEN every coffee...Read more
after that was a dud. Couldn't get the crema happening and the guage would not register anything. Asked a neighbour to freshly grind some coffee because the instructions say if the water is coming through too fast use a finer grind. We hadn't splurged on a coffee grinder at this stage. This coffee was better and the guage registered but still a way to go so we decided to buy a coffee grinder....Sunbeam 480. Before we did though we made a second coffee on the neighbours identical grind....nothing. The guage again didn't register and the water came through too fast. Ground our own coffee with our new 480 on 12 and tried again, nothing. So did a very fine grind on 5 (7 below the minimum the grinder recommends) but that didn't work either. Called Sunbeam who suggested a few things which we had already tried and they said they would send out the double filter basket and that should sort it. This will arrive next week, otherwise we are so far reasonably impressed. They say practice makes perfect but I have been making coffee for 10 or more years so not sure how much practice I need but this is a totaly different machine than what we had so I am willing to give it a try and see how it goes.Similar opinion?

A good reliable coffee machine
Once you get the grinding of the beans right, and using good quality coffee, it makes the perfect cup.
The pour indicator gauge clearly shows if you have the right pour (ie if you've packed the ground beans correctly).
It's reasonably easy to use & clean.
The milk frother is excellent due to the temperature bar.
Sunbeam's customer service via phone was very good when we had a few problems initially.

It's all in the grind...
This is a great machine, producing good coffee and hot milk, now...
To start with it was quite frustrating. At first I started with pre-ground Lavazza and it was very weak.Turns out the grind wasn't fine enough (even tho it stated on the pack it was suitable for espresso machines.) Grab yourself a grinder, some fresh beans and keep grinding finer and finer until the pressure pour is perfect. Then you can enjoy the best coffee every time.

some issues
Easy to use and clean. However, very noisy whilst on and not in use. The solenoid ticks every 30 seconds or so (its very noisy) and is really getting on my nerves. Bought 3 weeks ago. Also is anyone else getting a metallic after taste in their milk. I have heard to remove the anticalc filter. Is this in the manual?

Love this machine!!!
I previously had the EM6910 ehich was a great machine but did have a few small issues. One was that the overflow water from the machine didn't always go into the drip tray - it ran under and then came out the front. thos is definitely not an issue with newer model.
It is much quieter than the older model, heats the milk more efficiently, has a milk thermometer built in which is awesome! I love this machine - it makes great coffee!!
I would definitely recommend it!

Still going after 3 years
Love this machine.
Use it everyday to make coffees, sometimes twice a day.
Learn how to clean it regularly, look after it, and feed the best kind of beans, and it will reward you with deliciously poured espresso. It's very easy to refill with water and it helps that it has a large water reservoir. The footprint is small and everything tucks away afterwards. The only criticism I would make is that the steam wand is unconventionally on the left, but it's no big concern. Lastly, it's great that you can steam the milk and pour the coffee at the same time due to its dual thermalblock.

Great machine
Had a cheaper machine before this one and very glad I upgraded - only fault is it doesn't read the milk temp properly when going to make the second batch of milk after you've done the first but you can feel that with your hands anyway. Overall nice looking machine, easy to clean and makes good tasting coffees!

Still going strong .. 5 years on
Great machine, easy to operate and use
Has been delivering 2-5 coffees most days for the last 5 years
Love the taste of the coffee and the functionality.
The milk frother is also good, although I don't use it that often as I have my coffee black.
Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable machine

Questions & Answers
Jasonasked
Hi,
The pressure gauge is not working on this machine although it does go through the startup cycle of sweeping full range (this is the 2nd machine in 2 days with this problem, unfortunately our local supplier has no more replacements in stock).
Ignoring that for the moment, using the supplied baskets no crema is produced, using the basket from my old EM700 produces the expected crema (this is the double bottomed one so slowing the pour).
I'm using my grinder settings/beans as they were for the EM700 (which incidentally was a brilliant machine and worked flawlessly for 10 years, we just went for an upgrade because of the newer styling).
Has there been a change in the pour pressure with the newer machine? Or is the failing pressure guage indicating a real problem with the pouring pressure which would result in the lack of crema?
Thanks.

Could be a similar situation with mine. Check if water is leaking after using the steam wand. If so you need to get it serviced.

My EM7000 is a few years old. In the last week the steam wand no longer has enough stream output to properly froth the milk. Any suggestions?

Check if you have water under your machine after using the steam wand. I am experiencing a similar problem with my unit. This is after having the steam pump fail twice. I'm starting to suspect this model is under rated in pressure or the parts in use are a faulty batch.
SOLVED! I used a good de-scaling solution, and cleaned the stream want. Works like new. Previously I had only used the cleaning tablets and not the de-scaling solution.

My machine is a few years old and the single cup button has decided to just stop working. It makes a little “grunt” noise then nothing. Everything else still going like clockwork. Any ideas? Thanks

I'm not sure where you live, but I can recommend Metro Wide Appliances at Hornsby. My other suggestion would be to use the double cup button to make your coffee.

2.5 years later and it's still cracking along . Very quickly purchased the breville bean grinder and the flavour surpasses the seaco . One small thing is the steamer wand is not as strong as it used to be . Still rating it 5 stars .
