The Stellar espresso machine makes a superb coffee, the crema enhancing basket gives a lovely thick crema to your espresso. The milk frothing wand easily froths milk, with very little effort required on the part of the user.
We were asked to review this coffee machine by the manufacturer, and we can honestly say that it has exceeded all our expectations for such a compact and reasonably priced machine! When we dismantled the machine to see the build quality we were pleased to see that the machine uses the same pump that you would only normally see on semi-professional machines. Real attention has been given to the detailed design of the machine and its components.
One feature that we thought was particularly innovative was the use of rubber suckers on the base of the machine. This means that the vibration of the pump is somewhat dampened during use, which has long been an issue on many more expensive coffee machines.
The machine is supplied with two plain white espresso cups.
