Goodness me,
By Mr. D. Harper
I have wanted this ever since i got a demo in a department store, but put it off ... as it is 'quite expensive'. I did have a Tassimo Nespresso Machine, that i thought was great, but it is quite wasteful, (and anything but the coffee was awful most notably the 'Late' discs). However it did the job of a reasonable coffee quick, easy and Much better than instant rubbish.So wanting more i upgraded to a cheap and cheerful (under £30) espresso machine. it was great, good coffee - but.... It was a bit of a faff to do, and clean. Then it broke after about a week.... but it did enough to prove i really wanted nice coffee........Then i saw the Prima Donna... what a beauty, relatively small and it does everything.... full programmable to your cups and strength, it cleans itself, it even turns itself on in the morning to heat up the tank and your cups. I'm sure you can probably program it to do your ironing and pick up your shopping if only i could find the function.This thing is amazing and worth the money for what it does..... it comes down to how you justify it.... I figure you spend more on a sofa and a TV... and neither of those help get me up in the morning...You can spend half the money on a REALLY nice manual one... but you'll never use it as you have to faf about with grinding and cleaning...but then i am lazy.....

By The Connoisseur
Quite simply this machine has no equal on the domestic market. It is the answer to the problem of making quality expresso coffee every time. We have tried a series of machines from the quixotic "chrome peacock" to the workaday "pod" machine, but this is far, far superior.With this machine, you simply pour the coffee beans in one end, press a button and a perfect cup of fresh expresso coffee emerges within seconds with a perfect (and delicious) "crema" every time. It is highly adjustable, so for example, you can select "long" or "short" expresso, and you can easily vary the strength(6 options) just by pressing a single button.If you take milk in your coffee, the jug system is ingenious and simple to use, again using a single button. It effortlessly produces that wonderful, creamy, thick foam that you normally only see in commercial outlets. Moreover, it does this within seconds for cup after cup, eliminating that tiresome fuss experienced with lesser machines. The result tastes like a professionally-made cappuccino or latte.More prosaically, it tells you (on the small electronic screen) when to empty the coffee grounds or fill the tank (both very simple procedures). It also rinses itself when you switch it off. It looks good too: it is a quality item, well made with very high specification chrome and plastics. It is not too big: it has plainly been designed to sit comfortably on a domestic kitchen work surface and it does so very happily, without looking disporoportionate.In short, while this machine is obviously expensive, it produces commercial quality coffee with a fantasic crema and/or foam at the touch of a button, consistently, and without fuss. If you love expresso coffee, it is well worth the money.

Not if you like your latte piping hot
By Gavin Young
This review is for those of you who like to drink latte rather than espresso/americano.I bought this as a Christmas present for my wife (great service from Amazon by the way). This was to replace our Saeco Incanto machine,also which has provided great coffee but also several break-downs and which finally gave up the ghost a week before Christmas (fortunately, I leave my Christmas shopping late!).The machine looks good and is very well built. Setup was easy and operation straightforward. Espresso was good, with the ability to control several variables including temperature. My wife almost exclusively makes latte or cappuccino and the "innovative patented milk carafe" was a large part of the decision to choose this machine. The milk frothing mechanism works well and you can control the process to produce fine foam or coarse froth. There is also a nice feature to modify the volumes to suit your favourite mug.So far so good. So why only 2 stars? Well, the problem we found was that the milk frothing device will only heat to one temperature, and this turned out to be warm rather than piping hot. As a guide, it would be possible to "down" a mug of latte in one. Pre-heating the mugs with boiling water from a kettle improved matters, but still did not produce a piping hot product. Finishing the milk off in a microwave was briefly considered, but this defeats the purpose of an "all-in-one" solution. There is sadly no option to modify the temperature of the frothed milk.It may be that we prefer our coffee hotter than most - certainly there is only one other review on this site mentioning the same problem (though having now googled this in some detail, the US market seems to have found this to be an issue). If you don't like piping hot latte then this would be a good purchase but unfortunately a disappointment for my wife.
