Editorial Review: Product Description: SOLD OUT!!! SOLD OUT!!! With more high street coffee shops opening and our desire of all things stylish and continental, Kenwood have bought out the Café Retro Espresso Machine, which looks stunning is cream. This both looks stunning and makes a very good cup of coffee. You simply put your ground beans in the brew handle, take one of your cups from the cup warmer/holder (on top of the product) and flick a switch to begin. Turn it off when you have enough espresso coffee. If you decide you would like a Latte, simply add warm milk, and if you feel like a Cappuccino you can use the milk frother on the side of the machine. There is also a different brew handle which can take selected coffee 'Pods'. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Had to return two machinesIt's a nice looking machine unfortunately the engineering quality is terrible. The first one gushed water from the electrical housing after 6 weeks. Amazon replaced it without a quibble. The frother on the second one ceased to work after 2 weeks. This time we asked for a refund. Again, no quibble from Amazon, but disappointed by Kenwood. Rating:  - better value else were, machine okThis machine looks great, and the coffee is good. The steamer works well. But this machine,s has a big down side, when it has delivered the coffee it continues to drip, so you have to remove the cup and replace it whith a empty cup to catch all the drips, and boy does it drip.I can't beleave how much Amazon is chargeing for this machine, you can buy this in most shops or online for uder £70. Rating:  - A real Gem ++++++I did my homework and after reading many reviews (good & bad) for every single coffee machine going - I plumped for this one and boy, I am glad. Previously I had a Philips Senseo which was OK but the coffee was luke warm and since Costa Coffee has only just found its way to the nearest town, I really wanted a good machine. There's a saying you get what you pay for and this is so true. OK, so the machine costs around £100 but it really is worth every penny. The first coffee tastes great and then once you get to know how to use the machine and you get used to it, the coffee just gets better & better. I also invested in a coffee grinder and a big cup & saucer from my Costa Coffee shop. I would highly recommend this machine to anyone. I know people say that the cup warmer is not great but hey, think about it, for health & safety reasons it can't be that hot. Yes the top gets warm but not that warm. It does not detract from the coffee the machine makes and you should not let this sway your decision as to whether or not to buy the machine. If you don't want to spend anything in the region of £300 on a Gaggia or Francis Francis X1 then this is definitely the one for you. The machine looks great in any kitchen and will certainly have your friends green with envy. Rating:  - problemsNot been at al happy with this machine. I used reguarly for 6 months and no probs but since then it had proved very tempramental, failing to discharge coffee at all, or somethimes emitting too much. I have tried to maintain it well, using descaler etc but am less than impressed. It does LOok the part though! Rating: - It may be good...but do they have it?I ordered this item on 14 of September since when the delivery date has been put back twice, so it is now expectd to be early November. Amazon are unable to tell me whether that delivery date will be any firmer than the previous estimates or what the problem is. Interestingly all the other reviews are from the Summer when, presumably, they actually had a few of these in stock. Anyway if you order this item prepare for a wait - a longer one than they initially tell you!
