I've had this machine for a week now and I'm very pleased. I must admit I sourced it from another store where I had some gift vouchers. I couldn't find any user reviews of the machine so I was keen to help anyone considering this machine.
I'd give it a 9 out of 10 but that's not an option so I've gone for 5 stars.
I use it with a Krups Coffee mill and to me, the coffee (appearance, crema, aroma and taste) is excellent.
I shopped around for a while and I'd compared this to the Gaggia machines. The Gaggia machines costing less than GBP200 seemed to not be as robust as this. The only weakness when compared to the more expensive `Gaggia Black Espresso Pure' (about GBP 30 more) is that the filter holder/ handle does not feel as weighty. I'm told by a Gaggia salesman in my local store that this is important; however the Dualit handle feels solid enough to do the job and to last, so I can't see this as an issue.
This machine is almost all metal and feels very solid. The water tank can be topped up in situ, or easily removed from the back to be emptied or washed. The steamer works well. I've made Espresso, Latte, Cappuccino and Americano and they all taste as good as anything from one of the big chain coffee shops.

When I first bought this machine I wrote: This is the first espresso maker of this type I've bought (I've got a stove top) and having read loads of reviews of many different machines was pretty fearful of making a bad choice by not taking account of some important nuance. The main reason I plumped for this one were the abilities to: a) make several cups, b) put large cups under the spout for large lattes, c) take a pod or ground coffee, d) great value and e) nice design and size. After a week or so of use almost every cup has been absolutely perfect with an amazing thick crema, good temperature, flavour, volume, etc. The only ones that weren't good were when I didn't heat the cup enough, and when I switched to a different brand of coffee and needing to adjust the pressure of compacting the grinds. The one oddity is that it makes an odd thumping noise when I use the steam wand which I assume is OK but had better check with Dualit to be sure. It does take a bit of care to get perfect coffee but that certainly applies to every machine, and hey: my three year old boy is mad keen on helping make the coffees (or I should I say me helping him!) and I reckon he'll have it mastered too soon so if he can do it at that age, anyone can. Just read the instructions really carefully. Most importantly - prime the machine and heat the cups before each first use. Overall, a fantastic machine, at what really is a bargain for the quality, compared to how much you can pay for some of these machines.
Now I add: That machine failed after only a few months - the steam wand started producing hot water on both the hot water and the steam setting. So the replacement machine arrived and seemed OK for a while. Then it failed after a few monts too - it started dispensing coffee unevenly - different amounts from each outlet, sometime it would clog, sometimes it would explode when you removed the grind holder. So we sent that back.... Now on the third machine. I angsted for a while whether to get a third machine or to switch to another brand. When I checked the reviews they all seemed OK so I trusted our supplier who told me they'd had very few failures and Dualit said the same thing. Looking at all the reviews here the faults we've experienced look like they're not so rare. However - both the supplier and Dualit were very good about promptly repalcing both of the machines and so far (tempting providence here I know) it's working VERY well. So if this one lasts I'll stay reasonably pleased overall and very pleased each morning. If it fails again I will definitelty switch brands but I'm not sure what to as this is the best value (when it works)...

Read the manual and be prepared for a few under par attempts but once you get the hang of it you won't look back - Interesting comment on an earlier review about temperature - my machine had a supplementary page with the manual telling you to fill your cup first with hot water from the machine. If you use large, cold crockery and cold milk I can see what they mean. Watch out for that learning curve then enjoy your coffee!
