we love our Little Guy and our daily coffee ritual. Recently we had an issue but after problem solving with Craig all is well, just our inexperience. Big thank you Craig, we are back to beautiful crema and well textured milk. We look forward to many more years of coffee heaven. Jeanette and Lyn

It's functional, great looking and also demands its owner to really engage in the whole coffee making process. A wonderful kit that delivers gorgeous coffee and offers the fantastic experience of being a true connoisseur. Off course we want it too look great all the time on our stove so there's some commitment to keeping the Little Boy looking brand spanking, but again worth it. It's like taking care of a cool little vintage car that delivers a great experience. Indulge coffee maestros!

I’ve had this machine 3 Years - made a lot of coffee on it but it’s not worth the price tag or the repair bills - Since I’ve have this coffee machine the pressure valve has gone 3 times resulting in a $180 fix each time.

Get yourself an Atomic if your opting for a stovetop. The pressure valve on that one is much simpler to fix and can be done without opening the machine up.

For more than 7 years my Otto has been pumping out delicious coffee. It’s a pleasure to use. Easy and maintains the romance and ritual of having a coffee, unlike those terrible push button pods that end up in landfill. Cleaning is easy too. Results doing a second cycle are variable because of having to cool the unit. But not a big deal for me as that’s rare. To boot the customer support is exceptional. Love this product!!

Some things in life are actually perfect. Becoming famous for giving guests barista style coffee at home is one thing but waking up to this daily dose of bliss is a joy. It’s fun and easy to use. I never get sick of the process even though I’ve done it hundreds of times now. We take it away in our vintage caravan and we would miss it dreadfully if we went on holiday without it. Never had a bad coffee out of little Otto. I expect it will actually outlast me as it’s built to last. I can’t imagine anyone not being very happy to own this shiny little guy.

Forget bulky alternatives this stove top unit is compact and has great aesthetics but most importantly produces a top quality brew.
I consider it without rival as home brewing device and when coupled with its own specially made induction stove top is easy to use, and also provides scope to tinker with timing tamp and grind. Based on an icon and with engineering from the 21st century this unit will completely satisfy the most discerning home barista.

Brilliant piece of engineering: looks great & will last for ever & makes the best coffee. Took a couple of goes to get the coffee the way I like it - but SO worth it. Downside- doesn't work on all induction tops so you need to buy the mini induction

I bought my 'Little Guy' over 6 years ago when it was branded as 'The Otto'. It's still going strong and making a fabulous cup of coffee every time. The build quality is fantastic and great to see some fantastic ingenious Australian know how at work. I take it away on holiday to rental houses at the beach so I know my good coffee will always be available wherever I am. I'd actually be quite lost without it now as it's such a Sunday morning ritual now to fill up the tank, pack the basket with coffee and wait for that fantastic double shot to come through and then froth the milk. It's definitely a keeper.

We Love the coffee this guy makes and we live a long way from some good black elixir so this little fella sets us up just great in the morning! Plus if the power is out there is always gas or fire so really this is an essential bit of kit for the zombie apocalypse.....

Had this little guy for a while now, it's fantastic and makes delicious cappuccinos. Took some practice to perfect as it's not something that does the work for you but I like the ritual of my morning coffee.

Also Craig gave me personal customer service when I had a problem.

The Little Guy is easy to get going with straight away. However, did need some playing around with timings, dosage, tamping etc to get the best coffee. Once you've found that, the coffee is of a really high quality - the taste is so good that I now rarely buy coffees at cafes

It is easy to clean and keep looking pristine. My only problem was in cleaning up into the head itself

When we decided to go on the road for a couple of years or so in our camper the hardest thing to leave behind was our home coffee machine. Having spent 10 years in North Carlton and learnt to both appreciate and make really good coffee we did our research to see how we could make great coffee on the road. That's when we came across The Little Guy. And we are delighted with our find. It makes top quality shots and steams the milk to velvety perfection. And we've also had superb after sales service from Craig.

I love this machine... it makes amazing coffee and is so beautiful and compact in the kitchen.
Its well made, easy to use, easy to clean. By far the best coffee machine I have owned. It is constantly getting used daily and the consistency of coffee is always the same.

The Little Guy is in a class all of its own. Perfectly engineered. Our machine has averaged 3 delightful cappuccinos a day for the last 7 years. That's over 7,000 coffees with not a problem. It's neat and portable in our motorhome. Every Motorhomer/caravanner can enjoy the best coffee anywhere, anytime. If your fair dinkum about your coffee- you should have one. Great investment at home or on the road..

Had some issues with it since new, machine was replaced, steam wand still leaked. It finally blew and now at around 15 months old it won't work at all. Very stylish little stove top that when working makes a reasonable coffee but the quality and reliability is questionable. I have a 1960's Atomic that has never missed a beat. I'd say the little guy is Great when it works but is a poor imitation when compared to the real thing.
