Stylish Coffee Machine that would impress any guest!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stylish coffee machine with great coffee, an excellent milk frother and an easy-to-use touchscreen. Good value & sturdy. Not too heavy either

A great entry into the barista world
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been really impressed with the Russell Hobbs Cafe Genie Auto Espresso Machine. It’s stylish, compact, and very easy to use. The ability to use Nespresso capsules is a massive bonus if you don’t want the mess of using ground coffee. The automatic milk frother makes silky, smooth, textured milk for creamy lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites at the touch of a button. The espresso was rich and full of flavour. The controls are super easy to use, and cleaning is quick and easy thanks to the on-screen cleaning mode and removable milk container. Overall, I think it’s excellent value for money and a great choice for anyone wanting barista-style coffee at home without the hassle.

Intuitive, compact and easy to use coffee machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design is sleek and modern, fits very well with the brand. Its intuitive, compact and easy to use, especially with the auto throffer. The machine pulls a creamy slightly sweet coffee that other coffe machines may struggle to do. The coffee machine is also a lot quieter than any other machines I've used. 10/10

Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this for 5 weeks now and used it every single day. So simple to use, very easy to clean and makes a delicious coffee every time. Love that the milk container can be removed and stored in the fridge so I don’t need to clean it every time. Love the choice of coffee I can make. Mainly using it for iced coffee at the moment as it’s Summer, so just using the double expresso shot. I would recommend heating your mug in the microwave if you’re having a hot coffee - my first couple weren’t hot enough for my liking until I discovered you were meant to heat your cup. The machine does have a cup warmer on top but the microwave is faster and better. It looks beautiful in my kitchen and doesn’t take up much space. Really don’t have any complaints.

A fantastic all rounder coffee machine for any coffee lover
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee machine has genuinely exceeded ny expectations. The drink selection id huge covering from hot favourites there is something for every mood. It fits neatly on my worktop which is a big plus you can adjust the intensity add a extra shot and even tweak the grind settings giving you real control over the finished cup. Temperature was a pleasant surprise. Ive read reviews of other machines struggling with this but every drink has come out perfectly hit and I believe there's also an adjustable Temperature setting for extra control . The on screen instructions make thw whole experience effortless guiding you step by step whether you making a drink or running a cleaning cycle. The detachable milk frother is another clever detail you can pop it straight un the fridge to keep your milk fresh between used. All in all im delighted with this coffee machine.

Sleek coffee machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So excited to have my own proper coffee machine! My husband and I have used this for about 4 weeks now, so I feel I can leave a fair review as we’ve used it about 4 times a week. Firstly - I love the appearance of this coffee machine. I already have the stone colour Brontë kettle and toaster, so this goes really well in my kitchen. I think it’s sleek and elegant, and doesn’t take up too much counter space. My favourite feature is that you can either use capsules or ground coffee. My husband and I much prefer ground coffee, but sometimes it’s quicker and easier (when we’ve run out!) to use pods, so the flexibility is great. I tried all the different coffee buttons and if I’m honest, there didn’t seem to be a huge difference between difference coffee options (such as a cappuccino or a latte). I also think the milk frother is quite faffy to use and clean. We have a separate milk frother which we’ve found I much easier to use, so really only use the coffee machine for espresso shots. Because of this, I don’t think I’d pay the full retail price. The other down side is that the whole machine is quite loads and vibrates quite a lot when the espresso comes out. Whilst this isn’t a huge issue, the coffee mug (and we’ve tried 5 different types to see if this makes a difference) vibrates on the metal plate, and as a result the plate is already quite scratched from the vibrating mugs.

Coffee Just the Way We Like It
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, the design is simply stunning , the matte stone finish with gold accents looks so elegant and fits perfectly in my kitchen. It’s also really easy to use. The simple touchscreen lets me make coffee quickly without any hassle. I love that I can use both my favourite ground coffee and Nespresso Original compatible capsules, depending on what I’m in the mood for. My partner and I enjoy different types of coffee, so this machine is perfect for us. It offers 7 coffee options, from a strong espresso to a creamy latte, so we can both make exactly what we like at the touch of a button. The automatic milk frother is another one of my favourite features , it makes beautifully creamy milk for lattes and cappuccinos with almost no effort. It’s also really easy to clean and maintain, which is a big plus, and it doesn’t take up much space on the kitchen counter. If you enjoy cafe style coffee at home but don’t want a complicated coffee machine, this one is definitely worth trying.

Great compact coffee machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great compact coffee machine that is easy to use and makes great coffee. Has several coffee functions as well as self cleaning functionality. Easy to refill water and add milk if needed. Really like that it works with both ground coffee and nespresso capsules, however, would be even nicer if bean grinder would be inbuilt in the machine. The milk frother is extremely easy to use and it creates nice and creamy foam for cappuccinos or other coffees without any manual involvement. Overall, really great choice for every day use that takes very little space and looks stylish and will last for ages.

Delicious coffee!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee machine is amazing, it’s very easy and convenient to use, it makes a really delicious coffee, the machine itself is very light which makes it easy to move it around if needed, when making a drink the machine is very quiet and doesn’t make much noise, overall i am very happy with this machine and would definitely recommend it!!

Great little espresso machine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Steam wand froths milk decently, espresso's good, not amazing, and it heats up in a couple of minutes. The water tank's a bit small, so you're topping up often if making a few drinks. I am really pleased to have this one, and for an easy home espresso setup without spending a fortune, it does the job nicely. It's very durable and light enough to move around.
