Comes with 15Bar pressure, so not bad for the price. Lidl do something similar every so often, but it's always out of stock when I pop down after work!

Think I might have to wander in to our local store tomorrow for both items. Anyone tried it and can comment on the coffee it makes?

Don't think they're available in store until Thursday?

Sorry, forgot to mention.
Yes, Lidl stock changes are Monday and Thursday. This one is for the "Italy" range, starting on Thursday.

I have the Aldi one it's almost the same except the name, they make good espresso and froth milk for cappuccino.
Not as easy to use as pods, needs a little more care measuring and pressing the ground coffee into the portafilter.
First use is not usually the best result,but it doesn't take long to start making good coffee.

Can you fit a full size mug under the spout? Looking to have lattes more than espressos

have had one for couple of years and use it most days and obviously the type of coffee you use is critical. only problem I've had is the filter housing handle is weak and constant locking into the housing has caused it to split and will soon come apart so will need to do a makeshift repair. You also need to keep the frother nozzle clear as the milk will dry and clog the tiny hole but there's a tool to unscrew it built into the coffee scoop/presser.

I don't know the answer to your question but you'll want to get a metal jug for frothing milk. You need to pour the milk on top of the espresso, not the other way round, or it won't incorporate properly. The colder the milk the easier it is to steam the milk. I keep my metal jug in the freezer for that reason.

Great machine also takes pads..if you can source them. Asda do senseo pads 20 for about 5 pounds. I get mine from Lidl when over in Germany. Only about 1.59 for 20. Saves faffing about with loose coffee.

Get a knock box and tamper - no mess whatsoever.

Shouldn't this be branded cresto argento to make it plausibly italian for marketing purposes :smirk:

Coffee machine looks brilliant, but the grinder I wouldn't touch. You want a burr grinder, blade gives you an inconsistent mix of dust and whole coffee beans, and everywhere inbetween. A proper burr grinder will give you a consistent grind, you can get a decent enough one on amazon/ebay for a smilar price

They're also selling the Grinder for £9.99: https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Non-Food-Offers.htm?articleId=3853&ar=1
