Review: This Kenwood ES547 Café Retro espresso machine looks fantastic and is really functional. My daughter's Italian boyfriend who runs a local restaurant also thinks it's fantastic [great accolade indeed]. The tips he gave me to use it are: Keep the 'arm' [implement you put the actual coffee in] in place when you are heating up the machine. Once it reaches temperature, the light goes off, then place your finely ground beans into the arm. Two fairly heaped measures. Press down the coffee twice only with the tool supplied. If you put too much coffee into the arm it will spill over and won't work so well. When you want frothy milk, run the steamer first to get rid of any water, until it is only steam coming out. From time to time, he suggested I clean the rim of the machine where the arm fits into with a toothbrush as coffee beans will collect there. This may all sound very fussy but I promise you it works and once you get into the swing of it, it's very fast and easy to do PLUS it makes fantastic coffee. Even hot chocolate for my daughter [not a coffee drinker]. I hope this review helps some of you to decide. |
