Swan SK22110GRYN Nordic Espresso Coffee Machine with Milk Frother, Steam Pressure Control, 1.2L Detachable Water Tank, 1100W, Nordic Slate Grey

This was a replacement for the first one I bought after it developed a faulty with the steamer (wouldn't turn off!) this one works perfectly and makes a really nice coffee (or maybe that's me!!) the milk frother is efficient and a good size and the whole unit is very sturdy. The speed of the heating up is really good and it is very easy to use. Bit recommended for children obviously! The material can be hard to clean but if you clean-as-you-go l, it won't be a problem. The colour is just as advertised and it's a beautiful looking appliance.

The first thing to know is that it is great value for you money.Then, it is quiet and efficient and produces the goods a that is good cup of coffee.The quality of the coffee depends on the bean and or the grinding not necessarily the machine so that down to experience.The frother does the job, just make sure it's cleaned after use as the milk will clog it up again nothing to do with the machine. So all in all it is an excellent buy for the out lay and pays back with a good cup.Down side is that this colour the off-white does seem to stain, so what I say, it adds character as long as it is clean and keeps providing me with the goods.

The first one I received did not work and I had to contact customer service to get support (really good customer service and functional willing to understand the problem and offer the best solution to their customers) the coffee machine is good and does what the seller described, the coffee is good and creamy (although this depends on the coffee and not the machine itself), the power is one of the best making the milk foam really thick and creamy, but now we come to the sore points there are exceptions that do not make it perfect,1- the joint of the coffee arm in the machine is defective, often it doesn't close properly and the coffee spurts (but I don't know if it's only mine or if it's a factory defect)2- if you take the light colour like the one in my case the dirt is very difficult to remove, and if you remove it the halo remains in plain sight3- the way to fill the tank with water is really inconvenient

Very neat, so doesn't take up to much room on work surface. Easy to use after you read all the instructions. Looks good.

Nice looking coffee machine which was ideal for our new pristine white kitchen. The machine is cleaned thoroughly after each use but still after just two weeks of use it is badly stained by coffee splashing out of the cups as it is brewed. We have tried all sorts to get these stains out but to no avail. Contacted Swan direct who stated that they have teamed up with their media influencers who recommend something called Astonish one cup (something they dont share with you at the sale). They state themselves that the "Soft touch material such as that used on the Nordic appliances is more difficult to clean compared to those manufactured from painted stainless steel or plastic." They are not kidding, its impossible so why use this material.My advice would be to look for a different model and avoid the Nordic style if ease of keeping clean is an important factor. If this is not a major concern then the machine is excellent at making a nice coffee.

I brought this as it seemed the best out of the more cheaper options and I am not disappointed.Some reviews complained about it being flimsy, cheap, etc but in reality, it's a well constructed machine. The first run is noisy but that's cos of air entering the pump. It can be noisy when operating but not louder than a washing machine. Swan should have used rubber feet not plastic for shock absorption but tbh it does a good coffee. It heats up fast and the dial is easy to read, the steam wand is easy to maneuver and operate. It's small but for compact kitchens like mine it's great! The soft touch plastic is nice and those moaning is gets stained easily, well, ne more careful then? I've made a few and not spilt it. The coffee holder is sturdy, was expecting the handle and accent to be wood but its all soft plastic. The two filters are great, the plastic tamper is nothing to scream about but it does the job.The water tank is generous and easily removable with a carry handle too!Instructions easy to readAll in all I'm glad I chose the Swan one over the Delonghi.

Read the reviews and still went for it. Love the design and colour...but like everyone says...it gets stained so easily by the coffee. No matter how tiny a splash or how quick you are to wipe it off. I don’t like how much water seems to get everywhere too. I have wooden benches and if water was to get left on then, they are ruined. I don’t know why there seems to be water going everywhere...but it does!! The steamer wand is just not quite long enough either. It feels like it just doesn’t come out far enough for my liking anyway. My partner has a sage. The difference is massive, as is the price of course. So you do get what you pay for. He had the one I have now. He really rated his and suggested I purchased it. I do love the design of it and the feel of the material they’ve used. It’s just a shame it stains so readily. All that said...it’s cheap...it looks good and it does make a decent coffee and a frothy one at that. I guess I have got used to my partners machine and I suppose I’m comparing it to that!! Best get him moved in...eh??

I have been reading the reviews on and off for about 4 months before finally deciding to go ahead and buy the machine.At first the coffee tasted awful and like plastic but I did a good wash through with vinegar and water and then water twice and since then the taste has been perfect.It’s really easy to use, heats up quickly and I would say takes about 5 mins to make a coffee.In regards to stains and splatters- if it’s not twisted in tight enough the coffee splatters, but once you have made your coffee clean the machine down immediately and no staining.This is a perfect machine for if you want to start making espresso at home and see if you use your machine enough before making a proper investment! I’m so pleased I took the plunge and bought it. It also is so gorgeous aesthetically!
