Product Description
SOLD OUT!!! SOLD OUT!!! With more high street coffee shops opening and our desire of all things stylish and continental, Kenwood have bought out the Cafe Retro Espresso Machine, which looks stunning is cream. This both looks stunning and makes a very good cup of coffee. You simply put your ground beans in the brew handle, take one of your cups from the cup warmer/holder (on top of the product) and flick a switch to begin. Turn it off when you have enough espresso coffee. If you decide you would like a Latte, simply add warm milk, and if you feel like a Cappuccino you can use the milk frother on the side of the machine. There is also a different brew handle which can take selected coffee 'Pods'.

5 out of 5 stars A real Gem ++++++   March 7, 2008

I did my homework and after reading many reviews (good & bad) for every single coffee machine going - I plumped for this one and boy, I am glad. Previously I had a Philips Senseo which was OK but the coffee was luke warm and since Costa Coffee has only just found its way to the nearest town, I really wanted a good machine. There's a saying you get what you pay for and this is so true. OK, so the machine costs around 100 but it really is worth every penny. The first coffee tastes great and then once you get to know how to use the machine and you get used to it, the coffee just gets better & better. I also invested in a coffee grinder and a big cup & saucer from my Costa Coffee shop. I would highly recommend this machine to anyone. I know people say that the cup warmer is not great but hey, think about it, for health & safety reasons it can't be that hot. Yes the top gets warm but not that warm. It does not detract from the coffee the machine makes and you should not let this sway your decision as to whether or not to buy the machine. If you don't want to spend anything in the region of 300 on a Gaggia or Francis Francis X1 then this is definitely the one for you.
The machine looks great in any kitchen and will certainly have your friends green with envy.



4 out of 5 stars Good deal   August 16, 2005

This is a good deal. I've had Krups, Gaggia and Dualit espresso machines before and this compares well with them, and is a lot cheaper. It's solidly made and looks good. It does take a bit longer to get up to the required heat for steaming than some other models, which is why I give it four rather than five stars, but capuccino ought to be part of a leisurely period of the day so this isn't a big problem.
