Sunbeam Cafe Barista EM5000

Just got my new machine today and it's brilliant ,can't understand all the negative reviews,but there are more positive than negatives on machine ,you must read the instruction manual first and thoroughly. it makes great cappuccinos, it's well made and looks great on my kitchen bench. I give it 5/5 , Bought mine from appliances online for $169.00. I recommend this barista EM5000.

We purchased this during the 2020 Victorian lockdown as we wanted decent coffee at home. It allows us to select our coffee of preference and has not skipped a beat in the 12 months! Love being able to remove the milk jug to the fridge and cleaning is a breeze! Can’t live without now! Simple and easy to use.

I am enjoying my machine. I would have loved an automatic but the cost prevented me. I bought this and really happy with it. There have been a few complaints but it appears that people have not read the manual properly. I find it does froth a bit too much for my liking on the latte setting. I have the dial right down but prefer less froth. Overall I love.

Had machine over 1yr and every time the cup fills differently. I choose latte large cup with milk frothed on lowest level. Milk is inconsistent and always have to add manually. Knob doesn't do much. Latte always looks like a cappuccino when I want it closer to a flat white. Milk struggles at time to be sucked up into the machine. I have descaled it but made no difference. Probably have to look for a different machine unless sunbeam know what the issue is

Bought this for hubby for Christmas in 2019. Been working well up until now where it now struggles to suck up milk to froth. Good little machine otherwise if you enjoy a decent coffee without spending a heap. Bought it especially as it takes ground coffee and not the pods

I purchased this machine recently. Have tried it twice. I contemplated between this and a pod machine. I wish I had purchased a pod machine.I get very little taste of coffee. The milk is too bubbly, not smooth like a latte should be. I cannot get a hot coffee.

This coffee machine is obnoxiously loud and produces inconsistent cups of coffee(sometimes will make a full cup, sometimes will only fill up half way) with varying heat, the froth dial is basically useless, have tried all kinds of milk and made sure it’s always chilled before use and yet every time my milk is overfrothed, I have cleaned and descaled the machine and the problem has not been resolved, unsure of what to do anymore but will definitely not be buying anymore sunbeam coffee machines, by far the worst brand of coffee machines.

I was not really expecting a whole bunch from this machine. There are mixed reviews about the milk not coming out frothy enough and so forth. I just wanted something pretty and something that I could use and not have to pay an arm and a leg for. This pretty much is the only thing I could find that would froth the milk for you as my old frother was on the way out.

Now, I will say I am not a fancy coffee person, I'm happy to drink instant maccona coffee so I can't really tell you or compare it to a stupidly priced cup of coffee. What I can say ...

I love the machine overall it is quick and easy but my coffee is never hot enough we always have to heat it up, does anyone know how to make it hotter

My Sunbeam Cafe Barista is not providing enough milk froth after a year
I called Customer Service of Sunbeam. At first they asked me to do some checking & testing but problem still persist.

Eventually, after two weeks they sent me a replacement of my Cafe Barista unit and was satisfied with their support.

Many thanks to their Customer Support named Anjelly for providing a solution.

The coffee machine works but the frother does not.
All the parts are clean and it seems it must be whatever pump for the frother has failed?
Looking at other reviews this is similar.
Dissappointed

Bought it last month but only just started using it, have not had one cup of coffee that is above tepid in heat all in all a dismal failure that is being returned tomorrow.

The machine has been really good until recently until we ran into the same problem as many others with steam coming from the milk reservoir. This machine is about a year old and was always cleaned using the cleaning function every time milk was used to make a coffee. This seems like a known issue now?

I had a manual Krups machine. It was starting to have troubles keeping pressure. Replaced with a nicer, quicker cup of coffee for $179.

Saw complaints the milk spout doesn't move.. it does.. it lifts out from the inside. A little fiddley.. so it will stay out permanently on my machine.

I got a quality bean. The milk doesn't froth thick like with a manual machine. But it is perfect for me. It's saving me money.. I am more fussy about the flavour of the coffee shot than the milk texture.

Really sleek and nice look to the machine. Made from majority plastic parts.. but couldn't expect any more for the price. I am very happy with my purchase.

After few months was been using it .. the water cant come out from this machine , can't make any coffer but the milk frosting is ok , .. never buy again from sunbeam .. (had 2 sunbeam coffee machines that was not lasting.. ).

Worked well and made a good coffee. After 18months the milk dispenser has stopped working, it is spotless clean, just not enough steam getting through and disappointed as I paid $200 for the machine.
