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.
