Advantages: Great value for money, Makes fantastic coffee and cappuccino, Easy to clean

Disadvantages: Not suitable for large household

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 works. All my friends agree that I have the best coffee in the dorm now.

The milk frothing nozzle works better than any other gimmick you might have tried like those small battery powered whisks or expensive Bodum milk frothers (that cost 20£ as well). The main advantage is that you don't need to heat the milk before you froth it. Cold milk, right out of the fridge works fine. Hot steam does the trick.

The machine is also very easy to clean.

Highly recommended the best spent 20£ in quite some time.
