Hints & Tips
Trigger
The types of coffee machines
Manual: For people who like control over their coffee-making, the coffee grounds are loaded by hand into a cup-shaped filter. Capsule: Easy to use and mess-free, simply insert the sealed capsule (""pod"") of pre-ground, pre-measured coffee. Automatic/Semi-automatic: Decide what you want your coffee machine to do for you. Some models perform tasks at the push of a button, including cleaning the machine. They also offer a range of pre-sets for one, two or three shots of espresso at the push of a button.
Grinding the coffee beans
Some coffee machines have a built-in coffee bean grinder, which can be adjusted for coarse, medium, fine or extra-fine granules. Coffee grinders come in three types: Wheel burr grinders: The beans are crushed between two wheels, one spinning very fast and the other stationary. These can be noisy. Conical burr grinders: A metal cone at the base rotates against another surface at the top. These spin more slowly, tend to clog less and are quieter. Blade grinders: Beans are sliced finely using a blade. These may grind beans unevenly and leave coffee with a slight burnt taste if ground too long. If the espresso maker doesn't have an in-built coffee grinder, you'll need to buy a standalone one or use pre-ground coffee instead.
What is a thermoblock?
This is the internal component of a coffee maker that heats water to the optimum temperature range for making coffee (between 85°C and 96°C). For good flavour it's important that you don't scald the coffee. Machines with twin thermoblocks make coffee quicker because they heat the water for the coffee and create steam for frothing the milk at the same time.

A real workhorse
We bought ours about 7 years ago and it's been fantastic. You are supposed to replace the seals about once every year but we haven't ever and it still makes great coffee. We also have the grinder which we bought separately (there was no combined deal back then) and it has also performed perfectly with no issues. Just grind finer in the summer, coarser in the winter and you will get the desired result.
As another reviewer said the water indicator failed on ours too after about 6 years (i will try his fix).
The machine is still going strong with no maintenance after all these years with daily use. One of the best kitchen products we've ever bought.

Not Happy from
very unreliable
Purchased June 2015 and made great coffee for less than 4 months! Then the problems started. The shot had to be manually stopped, the water was leaking out onto the bench, and the machine would keep running even after the power button was tuned off. Service centre was over an hours drive away so I boxed it up and posted it at sunbeam's expense. I was without the machine for nearly a month. They replaced the PCB and wiring assy and a solenoid valve assy It worked fine when it was returned for about another 3 months and problems started again! Yesterday I took it back to the retailer and they agree to replace it. Let's hope the next one is more reliable!

Fantastic home coffee machine
We have had this machine for 4 or 5 years now and it has been a very worthwhile purchase. It has well and truly paid for itself.
We love cafe coffees and this machine combined with good quality beans makes the closest I have tried to cafe (and in fact better at times), at a fraction of the cost .
The main thing to note is that it won't make ordinary beans/grind into a fantastic coffee... nothing will!!
It is so easy to use.
Our only problem is that the drainage tray indicator does not always pop up and so the tray overflows.. easy solution is to empty the tray every couple of days regardless.
Also the writing has rubbed off the side knobs with consistent use (I did say we love our coffee). They can be replaced but it doesn't affect the quality of the coffee :)
Please Sunbeam keep up the great quality in all your newer models.

Fantastic Coffee machine
Bought this machine second hand three years ago and loved it ever since. Only thing that's failed was the level indication warning. It started to beep even if the water was full. I fixed it by placing a little magnet where the pickup is. The old one must have lost its power somehow.
Steam pressure is great, would have loved a bit more so that a double of four hole nozzle could be used, but I can texture the milk just fine with the single hole.
I would recommend a finner coffee powder or grind. For shard we used pre ground coffee thinking that's as good as it gets.(harris#5) but since buying a good grinder we are more in love with our coffees than ever before.
The factory settings are spot on given you use the correct grind. If it's too course you'll run through to quickly and slowing the runtime on the program will only give you a smaller shot.
Love this machine and how I can completely tailor the coffee. If you like fiddling and want customised changes to suit your taste than this can do it for you. Howeverhavong a good quality grinder makes for even more possibilities.
Enjoy and I hope this helped.

Both stopped working.
The first one we purchased stopped working in the first week. It was replaced and the new one was great for about 14 months then it started tripping the power. Water was leaking on the bench and making a strange noise. We paid $230 to have it fixed but the first time we tried to use it ( tonight), it turned the power off again! So back to the shop to either refund our $230 or fix for free. We have been without the machine for 6 weeks already. Looks like another new machine, but definitely not one of these again.

Great machine, great coffee
We have had our machine for over 7 years, still makes great coffee & the grinder purchased 3 years ago grinds the beans to my satisfaction
