This arrived quickly and it looks great. Unfortunately even after many cups of coffee and cleaning the coffee still has a plasticky taste. Which obviously isn't good. Going to do another clean and if the same afterwards I will ask for help from AO.

Looks fine. It's a Christmas present so not opened it yet!

Great product. Easy to use and looks great!

Excellent product at a fair price delivered promptly

Brilliant 5 out of 5 Ease to set up and use Bought as a present for my husband and he loves it

I am very pleased with my new Swan Retro Expresso Coffee Machine. It is so easy to use and makes excellent coffee every time. It needs to be flushed through with hot water before making coffee for the first time. This is to get rid of any odours that can be present, since manufactures testing. You will notice that the water coming through from the flushing is slightly tinted and eventually it will come thtough crystal clear. Always make sure you keep the water tank beween maximum and low level and always give it a quck flush through with hot water before making your next coffee. This will ensure that your coffee will be at the right temperature when you make your next cup. I prefer to use coffee beans, rather than ready ground coffee, but you need a decent burr grinder to be able to grind your beans on a fine setting, if you want a good expresso. For Latte, Flat White or Cappachino, you can use ready ground coffee, but self ground coffee will give better results. Always make sure you clean tour machine after use, by doing a quick flush through with hot water and make sure you keep the milk frothing wand clean after heating milk, by wiping it with a damp cloth to remove any milk that will appear on the outside of the wand and blow it through with hot steam to keep the nozzle clear. It might not be the best Expresso Coffee Machine on the market, but it is certainly a good machine for the money. This is definitely a good buy and with a good choice of colours to choose from, so you can match it to suit your kitchens decor. The retro look of this machine, really makes it stand out above the rest of the machines of the market. All in all, a very good coffee maker, pleasing to look at and so easy to use.
