This is another great filter coffee machine from Morphy Richards!  Not only is it a good looking machine, but it can be used as a manual as well as an automatic filter machine.  If you are serious about your coffee or simply want one that will last you. this is the machine for you!

The Pros

  • Very simple to use – one dessert spoon of coffee for each cup and the right amount of water which is all marked out on the reservoir, then push one button and coffee is ready in a few minutes
  • Pretty quick – less than 10 minutes for a full 12 cups
  • Hot plate is particularly good – keeping the coffee hot for a good 2 hours
  • The auto cut off is great for those of us who are a little forgetful
  • A programmable option is always a great plus for fresh coffee aroma first thing in the morning!

The Cons

  • Sorry folks I haven’t come across any!  There are cheaper models out there but at this price this is a very, very good filter coffee machine!
The Verdict        5/5
All I can say is buy it now – simples!!

  • New  improved and unique heated easy to clean milk frother
  • Non-stick stainless steel milk jug
  • 6 espresso cup capacity
  • Thermostatic hotplate – heats milk for frothing
  • Heat resistant glass carafe and lid
  • Strength selector
  • Illuminated on/off switch

Morphy Richards have made a good attempt with this machine.  Whilst this machine is not perfect there is much to applaud on this Espresso maker.

The Pros

  • Makes cappuccino, espresso lattes & hot chocolate (stir drinking chocolate into the milk before frothing
  • Very easy to use and to wash afterwards.
  • Unlike similar machines it is relatively quiet.

The Cons

  • The machine looks pretty stylish but the build is predominantly plastic which can make feel £60 rather than looking more expensive.
  • There have been reports of water spitting whilst brewing and that the milk frother spits.

Handy Tips

  • You need to clean the machine by running water through it before using it for real.  Some spitting can occur, but should stop once you have coffee in.
  • Spitting can occur if you put the filter cup on wrong.  When you lock it into place its handle should start on the left and then lock in the middle – but you can start in the middle and lock it on the far right.  Doing it this way means it does not lock properly and water spurts out of the side.

Overall Verdict        4/5

Its not perfect, but its really good machine for the money.  You will be hard pushed to find a similar machine that produces great coffee for such a great price.
