In their words
“This is the best coffee machine we’ve ever owned. It’s seriously has so many features that most high end coffee machines have. It’s very well priced too. We choose anthracite, because it looked amazing on our coffee station bench too. It’s also very compact and comes with different pucks to suit and love the beautiful wooden handle on the portafilla.

“We purchased this machine, wanting the PID features for selecting water temperature and having read about the improvements in the thermo block technology. We really tried to love this machine. But we were spoiled by the machine we use in our second home (Melbourne, Aus). The Kitchen Barista team were fantastic in letting us return and exchange our machine. Definitely high ratings for Kitchen Baris”
