Free coffee maker from Staples.

[SillyALFALove]

Just had a special offer email from Staples.

They are giving away coffee makers with £39 spend. This seems to be too goo to be true, there is zero info on the machine such as manufacturer etc but it has to be worth it for that price?

Intrigued to know of any feedback on this machine or if any one recognises it as being good / poor..

It'll be awful. Good offer if you're gonna spend £39 anyway - but I would'nt spend the money just to get the machine. You'd probably be better off with a stove top and a whisk lol.

240ml capacity?

It looks like a fake francaisfrancais.

3/4 bar means it's a steam pressure model (rather than pumped pressure). So you're not going to get a proper espresso - you're going to get a vaguely similar but rather burnt drink instead (building up steam pressure means boiling water, which is bad for coffee).

Thats what I needed to know.
