Customer Reviews
The DeLonghi Autentica Cappuccino ETAM29.660.SB has become a staple coffee machine that many owners can’t live without. They love how it has consistently produced not only great coffee but also frothy milk while providing an easy cleaning process.
“After finally biting the bullet and deciding to get a bean to cup machine we were not disappointed. Being concerned with the pods that we were using on our Nespresso we decided to get this machine. Very easy to follow instructions on setup and coffee selection. Initial coffees were not as flavoursome, but this was stated in the manual and that it would improve after 5 uses. Indeed after 5 uses, the coffee is just great. Our kids also love this machine to make frothy milk. So our whole family gets full use out of it. I like the way this machine also cleans and rinses itself after each use of the brother and when the machine powers itself off.”
“My partner and I require multiple blasts of coffees every morning to function. This great little machine which we’ve owned for eight months now gets a lot of use and consistently produces excellent quality coffee. The only negative I can say about it is that the water tank could be larger, apart from that it meets all of my needs.”
2. DeLonghi ECAM370.95.T Dinamica
Price: RM5,520.00
The next DeLonghi coffee machine on this list lets you brew two espresso cups at the same time for that awesome kick in the morning. That’s good news if you drink coffee with your partner daily.
Now, we’ll start by saying that we know that the price of this coffee machine is a bit high. However, we think it’s worth it for several reasons.
For one, you get perfectly ground beans thanks to its milling technology. Next, because of its temperature control thermoblock, you can have either strong black espresso, creamy latte, or just regular coffee with milk.
Moreover, we like how this coffee machine automatically cleans itself with hot water and steam after a drink is prepared.
Lastly, creating new coffee concoctions, customising aroma and quantity, and managing profiles via display are all made easy with its coffee link app. So, even when you’re away, you can tinker and swipe your way to having the perfect cuppa Joe waiting for you when you get home.

Because Breville understands that people now live a fast-paced kind of life, the Breville BES870 CRN creates great-tasting espresso in just one minute without sacrificing all the great flavours and aroma whilst grinding the beans.
We like how this coffee machine lets us personalise the dosage we want for that perfect espresso kick with the help of the conical burr grinder. It also lets users control the temperature of coffee.

Customer Reviews
The functions of this coffee machine may be difficult to learn at first. But thanks to tutorials available on the web, it’s still doable.
And once you’ve gotten used to its controls, as one owner shared, making the perfect espresso blend with it is a breeze. Let’s take a look at how these buyers got used to it.
“Tried this in the shop when purchased and the coffee was great. Was on special at the time so took it home and started experimenting with different coffee’s grinds cup sizes shots of coffee etc. Once the right adjustments were set it makes a perfect cup every time. Little messy sometimes but to be expected. Keep an eye on the water levels and all is great. Easy to clean with a quick wipe over. I have used all the tools to clean different bits and pieces and also used the tablets and powder to clean scale. Had to read the directions but fairly straight forward.”
“I’ve tested coffee from this machine when visiting a friend and I bought it not so long after that. The espresso machine is making superb coffee that will be better than any espresso produced on automatic machine. You can just watch a couple of short video tutorials and you will make barista level espresso. Just don’t forget to buy proper freshly roasted beans (avoid supermarket coffee beans).”

We’re on a cappuccino and latte high here as we bring to you the Gaggia Carezza Deluxe. This is a great option if you like your cappuccino done the Italian way, so to speak.

Customer Reviews
It’s amazing to know how a great coffee machine like the Nespresso Coffee Maker Lattissima Touch Black can change a person’s drinking preference and can be something to look forward to after a hard day’s work. Just look at this review:
“I am not normally a coffee drinker and have depended upon diet sodas in the past to get my caffine for the day. While not the healthiest strategy, I have been drinking enormous amounts of soda for the past 25 years to stay awake during the day. During a trip to France this summer, I discovered mild French cappuccinos at the sidewalk cafes. Delicious and mild, I felt I could substitute these for soda. Finally I discover Nespresso at a Mexican resort and I bought a latissima touch for home. Now I get amzing european grade cappuccinos at home at the push of a button. My whole family loves the machine for taste and ease of use. I also make amazing mochas. Highly recommend the latissima touch.”
“The Nespresso is a much better machine and makes fabulous coffee.I purchased this to replace a Starbucks Verismo, which I liked, however it had limited functions best machine ever I really enjoy coming home and enjoying my cappuccino after a long day at work. It’s very easy to use ‘5 stars.”

Customer Reviews
These customers love how easy and convenient it is to use this coffee machine.
“The quality is very good, the appearance is stylish, beautiful, light and compact, making coffee is simple and easy to operate. The preheating and fast steam are stable and controllable, and the machine lamp can clearly understand the temperature of the extracted coffee and the temperature of the milk foam. With any quality coffee beans, you can extract a thick layer of oil. The foam is very delicate. Although the flower is not as beautiful as the coffee shop, you can slowly pull out the very beautiful flower. But the latte that I made myself is very delicious. Love this cost-effective coffee machine.”
“Departments often have colleagues to send coffee powder. In the past, I had to transfer it to someone else because there was no coffee machine. This time I bought it through my friend. I did not have a detailed assessment when I received the goods. I have been using it for a while to make coffee and milk foam. I tried N times for review: First, the machine is small. Secondly, drinking coffee is really good. Now I don’t have to add sugar to drink coffee.”
