I have had my Little Guy for over two year. Without fail it has provided excellent coffee. I love the fact there is a little art involved in achieving the perfect cup. But in the end it is very easy. Last year it travelled with me for ten months around Australia in my motor home and I never had to go without a good coffee. The amount of horrible coffees served on my trip by "cafes" and "road houses" was incredible. I high recommend the Little Guy for anybody who likes the art of coffee making.

We love our Little Guy and haven't stopped using it since Christmas. It's so easy to use with little cleaning needed. You can tell it's sturdy and well made and just love the look. We buy pre ground beans and the espresso is perfect with a great crema. I cant speak highly enough about the Little Guy - wish we had bought it sooner. This is one of my favourite kitchen appliances.

I have had my Little Guy for 2 years, I continue to have a love affair with what is the worlds sexiest coffee machine on a daily basis. With a bit of perfecting things and finding ther perfect coffee blend and milk, i can now make coffee better than any professional barister can.

Before doing anything else, read the instructions and study the tutorials. The Little Guy rewards those that put the effort in with an espresso coffee bursting with a synergy of purity, intensity and class. Something this good unfortunately takes time so make sure to allocate a daily 'happy place' appointment to appreciate the best of life in a cup. The Little Guy is not for crowds, he knows his niche and doesn't make apologies to try be anything outside of design. Follow your inner voice and spoil yourself! Craig's Hiron's passion and dedication is reflected his customer service that is second to none. Thank you Craig for your past advice and help, this is the start of a lifetime Little Guy love affair...

The resulting coffee tastes great — better than most of the cafes within walking distance from home (except for one). We have used it pretty much every moirning since we got it. Once you get used to the routine which is very basic (easy after the first time) you just do the same thing. We use the companion induction stove top, which means just touching the on button, no fuss, perfect temperature. We have also used the induction top when our gas supply cut out — to cook bolognese sauce, and pasta, no mean feat! We travel with the kit, fantastic for country and beach holidays. Easy to clean, easier than a food processor. We love it.

We absolutely love our 'Little Guy', not only do we use it frequently at home we also take it camping... (well glamping)!
We have now purchased the induction top which took a little bit of getting used too, but well worth the purchase, we moved to a standard Gas cooker at home and found that the little guy didn't work to its potential hence the reason to purchase the induction top!
Thanks for all your help and support Craig!

Awesome coffee machine that produces great tasting coffee. Excellent crema, excellent steam pressure. We even take it in our caravan. We have had the machine for 6 years and it has worked flawlessly, until, last week. I got on the phone to the manufacturer who advised me to replace the pressure relief valve, $20. Easy to fix myself and it's back up and going.
Customer service is excellent!

I purchased an 'Otto' over 5 years ago, after my Atomic started to struggle, and it just keeps getting better. Three things stand out about the Otto/TLG. First, it is an incredibly well crafted and beautifully designed machine. Second, the coffee it makes is rich and distinctive. It produces more than enough steam, although I initially struggled. This was because I started doing the milk to early. Once you get the timing right you will have no problems at all. Third, it is incredibly robust, and even better portable.

We use it multiple times each day. Love it

I love my little guy. It's unique look makes it a talking piece of my kitchen when visitors come over. Thereafter, it doesn't disappoint with the coffee it makes. It's straight forward to use.

It's about as easy/ difficult to clean as any other coffee machine I've purchased in the past.

We love our Little Guy! The best 50th birthday present ever. The brew comes through richly filled with crema. A blast of milk and you will never buy a take away coffee again! It's beautiful design makes it a great appliance to have out. We use it daily and love it!

Once you get the formula together, Milk- tetra pk farm fresh. Grind- more on the finer side than course. Grinder - mini mazz . I have owned an otto for 7 years approx and I can make as good a coffee as a professional Barista every time . If your findind your coffee hit and miss then this product is not for you it takes a certain skill to master this machine, but once you do you wont go past the Otto .

This beautiful, expensive stovetop espresso machine has the potential to make great coffee if you're willing to invest the time to get to know it. The little guy, like it's begetter, can be intimidating, but if you want good coffee and you're not afraid of some hot air - this unit is worth your consideration. Be aware though, that if the rubber seal in this machine perishes (and it will) you'll need to chase up a replacement, which can be a costly, complicated process.
