Do not buy – These are the flaws of this machine: 1) Their Pods are Not compatible with the Nespresso coffee pods, even though Vittoria make pods specifically for the Nespresso machine. 2) the machine, unlike the Nespresso machine is big & bulky & takes up bench space. 3) Vittoria love to be different & want to rip people off by trying to enter a niche… Read more

market.

4) No choice but to buy the rubbish Non-Nesspresso coffee capsules called Espressotoria.

5) very expensive coffee capsules at $10 for 12 capsules.

6) Nespresso capsules are more abundant & come in a variety of products.

7) you are better of with a fantastic Nespresso machine & frother set for Only $99.

8) the Nespresso machine & milk frothers are fantastic.

9) avoid buying the rubbish ALDI Expressi machine & frother because it's very unreliable.

10) it's also not compact like the Nespresso.

11) The Nespresso Capsules are much better value for money. For example a pack of 50 Nespresso capsules from eBay will only set you back $7.90c. That's 15c a pod.

Two Espressotoria machine - both out of Order – I have a very lovely looking Adesso (Red) which makes the pumping sounds but no water or coffee comes out and I am on the second Capino (Black) which leaks like a sieve to the point where 50% of the coffee is in the waste container and 50% is in the cup. Have logged ticket with Vittoria - have emailed 4 times and called twice and no one replies.… Read more

Vittoria make their money selling the pods, not the machines. They need a reliable machine as I will now add these to the recycling pile at the dump and buy another product resulting in us not purchasing countless boxes of Vittoria pods every month. If everyone does this, the pod business for Vittoria won't last long even with free machine give away which they seem to be doing now.

Nearly 10 years old and still working well – We bought a red Adesso in 2014 (thereabouts,) and have used it all the time since. It has moved households and works the same as when bought new. The machine gets cleaned out after every use and we have used either rain water or filtered water in it. The range of pods is great, my wife uses the Vittoria range whilst I use the Caffe Aurora and we… Read more

both like the quality of the coffee. The only "problem" has been when the shot size has been accidently changed, but that can easily be rectified by following the instructions in the manual. Overall, considering when it was purchased, it has been a great addition to our kitchen.

Fun and easy – The taste and texture was good so many different types of coffee pods on offer the household does enjoy using it. It's a very simple expresso pod machine to use nice and simple with only two options which is handy, one cup or two. Slide in out tray makes it very easy to clean.  Show details

Great machine for the price – Not amazing coffee but pretty good for such a cheap machine and the pods are often half price at coles. Easy to use, quick to heat up and have had no problems at all with it. Make sure you empty the pods regularly as it can be difficult to remove the coimpartment if overfilled.  Show details

Aurora pod blew up in my coffee machine – It was not easy to use the pods kept falling into the pod bin they would not stay in the pod holder it took many efforts and many pods , i bought the Aurora coffees and one pod fell straight threw and the paper lid came straight off and the next Aurora pod blew up in the machine the lid flew open spewing coffee grains everywere and the pod was… Read more

stuck in the machine and inside the machine was a big mess, i took it back to Woolworth's and my coffee pods and i was refunded all my money , i only bought the machine on Thursday 14th June 2018 and the pod blew up in the machine on Tuesday 19th June i didn't even have my machine for a week, from the start i could see there was a problem with it because the pods wouldnt stay in and when u made a coffee then just put water through the machine to clean it i could have made 2 cups of coffee before it came clear water, i have another machine and it works the pods go straight in and after u make a coffee or 2 it says to clean it by just putting water through the machine i do that and the water is clear straight away , so your machine had a fault in it and u will be getting it back with a pod stuck in it.

No pods available – Beautiful machine can't get pods at Walmart where I purchased machine. Can't get pods anywhere? Tried to get pods online, I give up. It does hot water if you want tea or instant coffee. Amazon only has $ 85.00 12 pkg. Tried the Victoria espressotoria web in Australia. Web site mess up no way to put in my city. They may only ship to Australia? I'm returning asap.  Show details

Decent – I guess if you are not picky with the taste and only want your shot of caffeine + you want a convenient capsule machine then this would be a good start up machine for beginners. It is easy to use and produces coffee that's better than instant coffee, plus it's quick! Meets my need.  Show details

Great home machine – Easy to use, easy to buy capsules from Coles, easy to clean, small for the kitchen bench, does not take up much room, easy to put capsules in, simple operation, great value for money, good value, capsules are cheap to buy and easy to get from coles. I would recommend this machine to people who want a simple easy to use coffee maker.  Show details

Love it – As with any coffee machine, you are limited to the brand of pods that fit into it. I bought this one on a promotion obviously intended to lock me into the pods.I'm glad I gave it a try. It was so good I got one for work as well.It is very easy to use, their is a good variety of flavours and the machine is easy to clean. The only negative is that I would love to try hot chocolate and so far they don't have one in their range.  Show details ·  1

This is perfect ! Can't live without – It was a great coin coffee machine, and I used it every day. There was an ordinary coffee machine at home before it was broken, so bought the coffee machine. A cup of coffee a day.It has a lot of different flavors of coffee, I can enjoy it.It is an indispensable part of my life, our family love it!  Show details ·  1

Espresso Magic In the Early Mornings – The Adesso is a superb, espresso dedicated machine takes only moments to heat, changing Green light to Blue. Pop in the Capsule Vittoria, Aurora or Chicco d'oro providing an ample choice to give creme and taste. Very easy to use and clean. A easy remove drip tray and empty capsule chamber makes Adesso Simply wonderful.  Show details ·  1

A bit unsure – I am happy with the overall use of the machine however flavour variety is extremely limited - will you be bringing out new flavours/cappucino, hot chocolate, vanilla etc? - this would be a smart move as not everyones palletes are the same and children might like to use it for simple drinks.  Show details

Pods too expensive, not enough variety – The machine works well and coffee tastes fine but you are only limited to a few different flavours and the packs are expensive. Can't even buy the machines own brand 10 pack that are individually wrapped. Will we be recommending this machine to anyone. Find a machine with a decent variety and affordable pods.  Show details

I wished it worked. comment from Feb 07, 2017 Alan Chirgwin – Same problem. Set up as instructions and very little water is discharged. You can hear the motor but that's it. The instructions were followed to a "t" but still we were not successful. No receipt to return it ( we tried to get it replaced)is still sitting in our kitchen  Show details

pods don't fit – My husband bought pods for our espressotoria machine and they don't fit. The box label seems correct. I checked one of the new pods with an original supplied when we bought the product and the new pod is not as wide - so it falls through the cavity. We were very pleased with the pods that were supplied with the machine. We'll have to take an original pod to Woolworths and make sure the contents of a purchase fit our machine!  Show details

I wish it worked – I love coffee. So my husband bought me Capino after we tried coffee from similar machine at his Mum. I was very excited and bought capsules (yes espressotoria brand so they should fit / match) and a no name milk frother from Kmart. And then it was time to try it. So I washed the water container in warm water, dried it, turned on the switches as… Read more

per instructions, put the capsule in.... and my brand new machine doesn't even pump water. I tried several times to adjust the tank with no results. The machine only makes noise and that's it. The only good thing is the no name frother from Kmart. It works amazing.

Avoid Buying – Purchased machine in March 2016 from Woolworths. Bought pods of the entire range. It no longer pierces the pods. Machine is cleaned and its usage whilst working was basically 1 cup a day after work. It appears to be a design fault. So I have pods but no working machine. The pods are a proprietary size so can not be used in other machines. In short I can not recommend this product.  Show details

Expressotoria Adesso – You can fit a mug under it. Just remove the top tier of the drip tray. Really good tasting coffee. Easy to clean. Pods are easy to load and eject.Good size water tank which is easy to remove and refit when filling. Only down side is the waste pod tray is not detachable from the drip tray so to empty the pod tray it has to be done over the sink.  Show details ·  1

I Just Bought it – coffee taste is variable with each style, I bought several different packs of pods to find one I like , wish there was a chocolate one though. I will have to buy a smaller cup to fit under the dripper. I usually have a 500ml mug of coffee lol . the machine is easy to clean and use happy so far. ;0)  Show details ·  3

Amazin! – I LOVE the coffee this machine makes, so good, I highly recommend, I hope to own this machine for many years to come! Smooth coffee, not too strong and not too weak. Easy to use and small for storage which is great for me since I move a lot as part of the defense force.  Show details ·  1

So sad as I thought it would be great for a longer time – I have loved my machine since I bought it in march 2015 love the taste of the pods however it has stopped piercing the top of the pods and to get my morning fix I have to pierce them with a fork. I have 1 cup each day and now have to buy a new machine and being on a ensign I'm not very happy. Sadly it won't be another machine from this company  Show details

Very Easy to Use Quick Reliable – I bought this as an impulse buy for $50 at Woolworths as a special promo they were having as my 11 year old Breville Barista Style Coffee Machine's heat pump finally gave up, which was a Very Good Machine, but a little bit more mucking around. The Espressotoria is Easy to fill with water, Easy to load the capsules, Heats up quickly and leaves a… Read more ·  1

nice Cremer on top of the coffee. Iv'e owned it for 18 months now. Looks good on the bench too. We use it every day.

The Taste of the coffee is good with the right brand and blend (I use the Vittoria Espresso Casuals, the strongest) but I have found it to be a little on the weak side, you really need to use 2 Capsules to get the full flavour of the coffee in a cup, or 3 if using a mug. (hence the 4 stars)

I use the short shot option, fill with milk and heat in the microwave for just over a minute for the closest thing to a flat white. The long shot a found makes it watery. Just remember.....Premium Blend Capsules & Short Shots.

Would I Buy Another?.... Yes I would! Why?.... Because you get a good cup of coffee real fast. And at $50-$100 it's excellent value for money. I give it 4 1/2 Stars

Half price, less than half strength coffee, landfill at best – This machine looks great but the coffee is awful, weak and the flavour is not even close to good. Easy to use but awful pods. I can see why they are half price at the supermarkets, no other pods fit and the coffee quality is very poor. Best avoided and what a huge waste of what is a quality machine.  Show details

Best pod coffee I have tried – Am impressed with the style and ease of operation. I have had a couple of other machines before but this is the best I have encountered. My younger sister introduced me to your product this weekend at a family reunion for my Dad's 90th Birthday. I was so impressed with the flavour that I just had to buy one myself. Googled it then rang Coles. My lucky day. It was on special.  Show details ·  1

No problems so far! – Bought it today, reading reviews and have mixed feelings but so far so good! I've had an expensive sunbeam that takes all the pods and poured hot water all over the bench instead. never pierced the pods. This is good and vittoria is usually the coffee I use in my Italian percolator on the stove top, so its coffee I love. Thank you.  Show details ·  1

Weak coffee, trouble with machine not piercing pods – I have only the had the machine a few weeks and the coffee is terrible. So weak that you can't even taste it once you add milk, regardless of which pod flavour I use. The machine doesn't pierce the pods properly so it sometimes cuts out before the right amount of water has padded through. Definite would never recommend to anyone.  Show details

The machine is good but some of the pods are not – No problem with the machine but the Mountain Grown pods "breaks" and you get a cup full of coffee granules. The green box Cafe Chicco D'oro capsules are better. Tastes good as well. We heat the milk and the coffee in the microwave when necessary.The machine is easy to use and clean.  Show details ·  1

Great Coffee. Affordable Machine – I'm very happy with my machine. I bought another for the caravan. I purchased when my cafitaly machine died. I think its a much better machine than the Cafitaly, and I prefer the coffee as well. I've had no problems at all. I like a lot of milk in my coffee, so I just zap it in the microwave to make it hotter, or heat my milk first. I use 2 pods… Read more ·  1
