Morphy Richards New Europa 800-Watt Espresso and Cappuccino 4-Cup Coffee Maker (Black)

Nice product

I'm a fan of espresso. Every time I go to a coffee joint, I tend to order a doppio( A double shot espresso). But, those prices are way too high if I wished to drink a cup of espresso twice everyday. So, I've decided to buy this machine. One thing to say, the quality and durability depends on the user. If you take care, the machine would take care of your cup of joe.So, how do you properly clean this thing is the question raised by many guests after seeing.1. Always rinse the drip tray2. Use 10% dish washing liquid with 90% water to clean the carafe3. Do not hit the filter basket to drop the used grounds. Run water over it forcefully to loosen the grounds. This is crucial because dents can affect quality4. Before and after your brewing activities, make sure that you clean the internals. To do this, fill the carafe till the 4 mark with bottled water. Assemble an empty perma-filter. Switch on and set the strength to max. In about a minute, you can see steaming hot water flow into the carafe. Check its color. If it's yellow, then rinse and repeat. If it is white, dry everything and switch it off. Then, either do your coffee brewing or assemble it back and call it a day.5. Always let the steam out. When you froth milk, immediately wipe off the residual milk with a lint free clothWARNING: NEVER EVER USE HARD/TAP WATER. IT CAUSES SERIOUS LIME-SCALING ISSUES WHICH CAN GREATLY AFFECT THE TASTE, QUALITY OF YOUR COFFEE. IT MAY ALSO CAUSE DIGESTIVE ISSUES. ALWAYS USE SOFT-CAN WATER(THE WATER MUST NOT TASTE SALTY OR SWEET). TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. PLEASE DO NOT POST MISLEADING REVIEWS STATING THAT MY MACHINE BROKE.THE STEAM KNOB IS THE WORST PART OF THIS MACHINE. THE MACHINE WAS USED JUST FOR 14 DAYS. THEN, THE STEAM KNOB DECIDED TO LOOSEN UP AND FALL OFF. I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT THERE. THE PROBLEM IS I'M JUST 17, AND I CANT DRIVE. AND THE SERVICE CENTER IS FAR AWAY. SO, I REMOVED THE RUBBER CASKET AND FIXED THE KNOB DIRECTLY. IT COMES OFF, BUT I THINK I'LL USE IT ONLY TO EASE THE PRESSURE, BECAUSE I ALWAYS DRINK IT BLACK. BUT THIS ISSUE MAKES ME REDUCE A STARTips for using the machine.1. Use fine grounded coffee. I use Narasu's PB or Royal Elite Bold. Currently, I'm using Phalada Pure & Sure Organic Coffee Powder. For the best results, you must grind the coffee on your own. If you can't make sure the coffee is fresh. Mind that using instant coffee powder or using coffee mixed with chicory can lead to disaster, both for the machine and your stomach respectively. You can also go for Lavazza. But, it makes a hole in your wallet deeper than the Mariana Trench.2. Only use good quality bottled/can water.3. Maintain a good cleaning discipline4. In case you've used hard/tap water, immediately do a descaling. Refer your instruction manual.5. Always tamp your ground in the filter. You must apply about 30 pounds of force. This is about 13 kg of force. Hold the force for about 6 seconds and slowly rotate the tamper before removing it. Make sure the filter lock is up when doing thisAs you can see, this is a real espresso maker. It produces crema provided that you use fresh and the correct coffee. For me, it produced about 4 mm crema for a double shot. This is good for a steam driven machine. Note that this is a steam driven machine. You can never get the finish of coffee joints, because they use dual boilers powered by thermoblock pumps. Although the tastes would be similar, provided you use the correct beans.Please look at the pics to see the finish. The cirrus clouds like crema was from coffee powder a week old. The brown and rich crema is from that organic coffee powder I've just bought. Can you notice the finish being directly proportional to the freshness? This applies even to taste. The white crema cup tasted a bit bitter and left a bittery taste in my mouth. The brown crema cup tasted like coffee at its best, leaving a crisp and nutty taste. Also, after I did some research, I came to know that an espresso must have three layers. A bitter crema, a sweet middle and a nutty acidic bottom. You must mix these before drinking to have the best shot. If you see the glass picture I've attached , you can clearly see those layers.OVERALL, THIS IS A GREAT ESPRESSO MACHINE FOR A BEGINNER. IT MAKES GREAT ESPRESSO AND IT IS ECONOMICAL TOO. AS I SAID, IF YOU TREAT THE MACHINE WELL, THE MACHINE WOULD TREAT YOUR CUP OF JOE WELL.

For anyone looking to buy a decent coffeemaker at a affordable price, I know this might look like the best deal you'll ever get but believe me it's not worth it. I bought this coffeemaker under the same assumption and it has been nothing but complete waste of my money and time.After a few days, the steamer started malfunctioning. It leaks water everywhere and gives out water and steam both. You have to use a mug to keep the hot water not spilling everywhere. And even then the steam that does come out isn't hot enough. Because of the water coming out so fast, soon the water in the tank will run out and so will the steam leaving your milk unfrothed. It makes everything really messy.To top all of it off, the coffee isn't really that great.It takes almost 15-20 min to make a cup on this thing. Plus, ground coffee is more expensive than instant coffee and so even with all your efforts and money wasted, you'll have a really below average cup of coffee.One more thing, I tried using the warranty feature as it said two years but it turns out they don't actually sign or stamp the warranty card when you order it online. I just have an empty card which has no value at all.So in the end guys and girls, if you're looking to buy this then you're obviously someone who takes their coffee seriously and want more than just instant coffee at home. But unfortunately, you'll just end up wasting your money and time.

This product makes great filter coffee and we are able to adjust the strength of the decoction too. As indicated in the manual, two cups is the minimum quantity we should try to prepare. I tried to prepare for 1 cup but it was not very good. So stick to the minimum specified by the manufacturer.What I liked most is, we use a lot less coffee powder compared to that required by a drip coffee maker for preparing the same quantity of coffee. In addition, it takes just 2 minutes to make the decoction.The coffee powder holder is quite sturdy and is easy to clean too.Overall, it is a great product and worth the money

Being a caffeine addict, I ordered this coffee maker to save some money that I use to spend in CCD, if you are a coffee addict this is a gem for you.You can brew 4-5 cups of coffee easily. The box contains a carafe for espresso, stainless steel filter if you are using ground coffee powder.If you want cafe like taste at home, this is a must have device. Few things which I really didn't liked is efforts to clean the mess after creating your coffee, steam nozzle is hard to clean, after some days the steam was coming out of the espresso chamber I totally lost control on espresso brewing as hot water was coming of out that as soon as steam is ready.Pros:1. Good for coffee addicts2. Cafe like taste at home (condition is to use coffee beans powder)3. Easy to handle4. Unique product in this price rangeCons:1. Serious quality issue (hot water spillage, steam coming out of espresso chamber)2. Cleaning is hard3. Alignment of nozzle is not flexible which makes it hard to cream quality of froth.Overall I would give this product 3.5 out of 5.
