Cookworks Espresso Maker CM0016

When a relative gave my hubby some money for his Birthday, he didn't really know what to buy. A quick look through the Argos catalogue came up with this - a coffee (and espresso) maker that also makes frothy milk (for capuccinos) for only £20. We were suspicious at first because this was only half the price of the next cheapest model, but had basically the same features. The other two in the catalogue were £80 and £100 which was similar to the price of them when we had considered buying one a while ago, and much more than we wanted to pay. Ok, so what do you get for your £20? If you just want basic espresso (strong black coffee) then this makes ...  Read the complete review

I love my coffee, especially if there happens to be a choccie biscuit in the offering too. I have found the big name coffee makers to be very expensive so Iwas on the look out for something cheap.Little did I know that I'd be purchasing a great machine for a mere £13.75. A couple of months ago we purchased the Cookworks CM0016 from argos on special offer, they now sell for around £16 which in my opinion is still one great deal.This dream machine makes two good sized cups of filter coffee at a time or 4 expresso coffees. It takes only a few minutes to get aquainted with it's operation after which you'll be into caffienne heaven. It also has a neat ...  Read the complete review

Being a student I was fed up the other day about having to drink terrible instant coffee every day. A cup of cappuccino at the student bar is not really expensive but not too great as well. So I decided to go down town and buy a coffee maker. The cheapest one at Curry's was about 35 quid and only a very basic one. Next door at Argos I saw this espresso maker that also could froth milk. However I was quite sceptic about the product because it was only 20£ . Still I wanted to give it a try. I bought some Lavazza espresso coffee (with 2,3£ for half a pound not very cheap but highly recommended stuff). At home I was very surprised how well this small machine ...  Read the complete review

I went to Argos today after looking at various reviews on the Internet for this machine. What suprised me the most was the fact that the price. This is the cheapest priced machine I have ever seen (all other rivals are about twice the price) but don't let this put you off as the build quality is very good. I unpacked the machine and washed all the parts and followed the instructions that came with the machine. It was very easy to use and in a matter of minutes, after frothing up some milk with the built in milk frother, I was gulping down my first homemade cappuccino. I have to say that it tasted quite nice but it was a bit strong for my liking but ...  Read the complete review
