Cebo Fully Automatic Reviews

Pros: Inexpensive, makes a nice tasting cappuccino, good quality.
Overall: I got my little CEBO 50B coffee machine around April 2011, it was a birthday present from my husband - unfortunately I got pregnant not long after so I was drinking decaf coffee for 9 months but I am back to full strength now and love the taste that freshly ground beans create.
We tend to mainly drink Cappuccinos and the occasional long black which this machine is great for - if you drink flat whites etc you wont get them automatically from the CEBO, but you can make them - their manual does explain the process. Knowing my husband very well he would have researched every machine on the market before he bought my CEBO so I can assure you he would have got value for money - hes Scottish so watches every penny!
For the price we paid the machine is unbeatable value and produces a great coffee.

Pros: Nice tasting cappuccinos, very easy to operate
Cons: Had an issue with courier company (TOLL IPEC), but this was sorted out once we contacted Cebo.
Overall: We mainly drink Cappuccinos on a daily basis so it was nice to buy a home cappuccino maker where we can try many different fresh coffee beans. We have been experimenting with different beans from various roasters for a few months now and we have settled on a nice blend from The Coffee Company, which we buy online.
The Cebo is easy to use – all we do is attach the milk container which we keep in the fridge, press the cappuccino button and the Cebo makes a nice cappuccino. We have preset the cappuccino settings to match our mug size, so we use the same size mugs all the time in the house and it fills the mug perfectly each time. This makes our cappuccino taste consistent every day.
After the cappuccinos have been made, we remove the bottom part of the milk container, place a glass of water under the milk pipe and hold the cappuccino button down for 7 seconds – the machine then flushes fresh water through the milk frother so that all milk is removed – this takes about 5-10 seconds. We then put the milk back in the fridge and leave the machine till we want to use it again. We do give the inside of the machine a wipe out every day or so as we are pretty fussy with cleanliness, but I guess some people that are not that worried about the inside of the machine may not do this that often.
We also use the separate milk frother every now and then for a hot chocolate – nice to have that option.
Overall we are happy with our purchase and have recommended our Cebo 50B to many friends who have visited us for coffee.

Pros: Good coffee. Have made almost 800 coffees now and hasn't missed a beat so long as it is cleaned properly. Pretty easy to clean.
Cons: Must remember to immediately initiate rinse cycle for milk frother (although a quick easy job) after using milk brother. Drip tray can overflow.
Overall: I was considering spending quite a lot of money on a coffee machine as in our household we go through at least 3-4 cappuccinos or lattes a day. I was wary of this machine because it was so much cheaper, but after reading a few reviews (early 2011) and looking at their site decided to take a punt.
We have had the machine since June 2011 and other than a minor problem with the milk frother (which we discovered was our fault for waiting too long to flush it out after using it - has to be immediate rather than minutes later), the machine has been great. We enjoy experimenting with different beans (fair trade of course!). Although coffee aficionados may scoff at using an automatic coffee machine, I've had people tell me it's the best coffee they've ever had!
There are limitations in the settings insofar as, for example, if one person wants a weak cappuccino and the other wants a strong one it is not straightforward. You pretty much have to agree on settings, put them in and then leave it. We usually make cappuccinos but it is also easy to make long and short blacks. Our daughter likes the milk frother for hot chocolates.
I imagine in an office environment someone would have to be delegated the job of cleaning and emptying drip tray to prevent spillage etc. as it does need to be maintained (not hard but someone has to do it!).
Possibly the best recommendation came from my Italian nephew-in-law who, on a visit to Australia, had a short black at our house and genuinely enjoyed it and asked for a second coffee. His sister owns a coffee business in Italy so that's a big compliment!

Pros: Great Tasting Coffee, Easy to Use, Great Price
Overall: I bought my CEBO Coffee machine back in November and have really been enjoying the taste of fresh coffee at home. I did used to drink instant so I guess its hard to compare the taste against fresh coffee beans, but I will never go back to instant coffee again I can assure you.
I did alot of research visiting Harvey Norman and Myers to look at coffee machines first hand, but I just found a large gap in price between the CEBO machine that was offered online and the machines offered in store - the CEBO was much cheaper but had similar features, and it looked much more stylish that some of the ones I looked at in store.
I do like the ease of buying online so it was a no brainer for me.
I mainly drink Cappuccinos so the whole operation is basically one touch, this suits me down to the ground. I use the separate milk frothing function when my sisters kids stay over as I make hot chocolates for them - this is a very easy operation as well and a bonus feature I was not expecting.
The company seemed very responsive when emailing them and the delivery to Brisbane was overnight which really surprised me.

Pros: Price, ease of use, ease of cleaning
Overall: We purchased this coffee machine after watching the reviews on-line throughout the year. We have had our machine for a couple of weeks and so far can't fault it. It is very easy to use and clean and the coffee is actually hot! Our kids are enjoying the seperate frothing function with makes it very easy for them to make a hot chocolate. My husband prefers a flat white and by the use of this same function it is also very easy to accomplish. We were dubious because it was so much cheaper than the known brands but am glad we didn't spend $1000's because this machine is fabulous.

Pros: Makes lovely coffee
Cons: Too much cleaning and wastage of coffee.
Overall: I ordered the coffee machine not knowing it was a long weekend and received a very prompt email to advise me of this and that there would be a delay of a day - having said this delivery all the way across Australia to WA was very quick.
As others have commented there is a lot of waste of unused coffee - i will try adjusting it but still think it is something that shouldn't be happening. Also the grounds mostly make it into the waste bin but a lot do miss. You really have to clean the insides out once a day (as recommended) and the waste tray seems to fill with a lot of water and needs emptying after making 4-5 coffees. I honestly don't know where all this water comes from? You also have to ensure that you do flush the milk lines after each use - my husband is a bit negligent with this and it has meant extra flushing and cleaning - agh!
Having said all this though it does make very good coffee and although there is a lot of cleaning involved the actual coffee making process is much simpler than many other machines.
I think for the money it is very good value and as long as you don't mind cleaning up it is fine.

Here's a list of questions other people have asked about Cebo Fully Automatic
Can it make 2 cups of coffee at a time or does each cup need to be made separately?
Trevor asked on Mar 3, 2012
Hi Trevor
You can only make one cup at a time - it doesn't have the spout like some professional machines that does the 2 at a time.
Hope that helps. Cheers :)

Not at same time but in quick succession yes. Can easily swap between cap or long or short black. But only one at a time (but doesn't take long for each one).
Tessc replied on Mar 3, 2012
Does the CEBO have a manual milk frothing option?
Ray Menon asked on Dec 4, 2011
Hi Ray,
The milk system is totally separate, and automatically froths from the milk container which pushes on to the front side. When you have finished making your cuppa, simply pull the milk container towards you and place in fridge.
Definitely is worth getting a Cebo. Still very happy after 250 cups.
Cheers

Hi Ray,
Yes its an automatic froth but done separately. You just hold the cappuccino button down for 7 seconds, and then the machine will start frothing milk for you. Just press the cap button again to stop it.

Coffee grinds are very loose and wet - how do i get it to grind finer and also extract most of the fluid from the cake?
Richard asked on Nov 22, 2011
Richard, its says that the grind is automatically adjusted by the machine (AOF) for the strong and light buttons. I am not concerned with the end result of the cakes as the coffee taste is good - our old semi automatic had similar cakes and the coffee tasted pretty good as well...hope that helps.
cafeole replied on Nov 23, 2011
can you make a good strong flat white with this machine?
i have read the good reviews but seems to be all about cappuccinos
belinda asked on Nov 7, 2011
This machine cannot produce a flat white comparable to a flat white prepared by a barista at a cafe shop.
Coffee_Lover replied on Nov 8, 2011
Is there an adjustment that controls the temperature of the coffee,as I like my coffee HOT above 73c not warm. What is the temperature that the Cebo produces it's coffee at?
Graham asked on Oct 17, 2011
The coffee my machine produces is HOT but don't know what temp it is. I don't like mine warm either but find the temp quite hot. I would suggest to contact the Cebo team on their website http://cebocoffeemachine.com.
and ask the question of what temperature it is produced at.
ehibbie replied on Oct 20, 2011

Could someone tell me if machine is too noisy or is it quiet when making coffee?
Thanks
Pina asked on Oct 16, 2011
I think it is less noisy than some of the manual types I have known.
Still my best purchase by far.
BrianWA replied on Oct 17, 2011

Not noisy at all compared to other manual machines I have had. Was quite surprised how quite it is. Can even make a cup of coffee early morning without disturbing the household. Very happy.
ehibbie replied on Oct 17, 2011
The noise of the machine is OK. You can obviously hear the grinding of the beans and the brewing of the coffee. The alternate for nearly no noise is instant coffee which comes in a distant second to the real thing!!!
ChrisG60 replied on Oct 17, 2011
Is everybody still happy with their machine? Im looking at purchasing and cant find a single bad review...Seems to good to be true?
Carmen asked on Aug 22, 2011
yes, still in love with my machine, I recommend it to everybody.
coffeelovers replied on Aug 23, 2011
just purchased this machine having trouble getting frothy milk at the end of the cappuccino just comes out like a flat white no froth at all.any ideas?
nicole king asked on Jul 21, 2011
Hi Nicole
We had the same problem we got a small strand of wire nothing bigger and gentle pushed it through the hole of frother!
refer to page 16 the figure that has No 4 the bit that is shown pinched between the fingers, pull all of this apart and pit wire through all of these parts as there will be dry milk in there!
To stop this the frother has to be cleaned with fresh water immediately after every cappuccino we used to come back after we finished to clean it and kept having this problem, we haven't had it since we clean it straight away.
Hope this helps email me again if u don't understand

There are three pieces that pull apart 2 black and 1 grey did you just put the wire through the grey spongy bit or the black harder ones as well,

Can a cappacino be made by putting the cup in one spot and then pressing one button including frothing the milk
nicole king asked on Jul 7, 2011
yes, thats exactly what happens. so easy. and also when youve finished making all your capos, press one button and it cleans itself when youve finished.
vanessaandrew replied on Jul 7, 2011
Hi Nicole, The answer is yes, as long as you have the milk container attached, then when made just tap your cup a couple of times to flatten froth. cheers
shammers5959 replied on Jul 7, 2011
Hi, Is it possible to make a decaf coffee and then a regular coffee with this machine?
ricebubbles asked on May 27, 2011
NO BECAUSE THE MACHINE GRINDS TO REQUIREMENT IT'S EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER CHEERS
shammers5959 replied on May 30, 2011
Not sure - I've not made a decaf but the regular coffees are fabulous.
Sherelle_Spillane replied on May 31, 2011
