The Cube R is a great looking machine, a modern clean take on the traditional E61 grouphead style machine. It’s a pleasure to use, with a quiet rotary pump and powerful steam wand. Heat up time is a little longer than some of the video reviews suggest, I found it to be around 20 minutes from switch on to Espresso brewing. The app works really well and has a range of features including scheduling. However, I prefer to switch on and schedule via a smart plug rather than the app as the machine could remain off rather than on standby when not in use. The machine came couriered direct from Sanremo, was beautifully packaged with a nice range of accessories. Overall via happy.

Just received my new Sanremo You today and have had my first coffee, it is a fantastic bit of kit . Easy to pull a shot with the potential to alter a lot of settings and looking forward to using.
This was one of the best companies that I have dealt with, the service was superb and Darren is a mine of information and help, it’s great to still get the good old fashioned personal touch,
I live in a 2nd floor apartment and was wondering how I would manage to get to You up but Montgomery transport excelled and the driver help me carry it up. The You is a heavy machine .
A quick pic below of my setup but please excuse the mess as have yet to get head round what goes where.

If interested in any machine just have a chat with Darren and you will definitely get great service

Thankyou Darren for all you did

So, I took my coffee machine to the Coffee Lobby for a fix, and let me tell you, those guys are wizards! They only needed a part, and when I got it back, it looked brand new—like it just stepped out of a coffee spa day!

I was so impressed that I decided to upgrade to a shiny new espresso machine. This beauty even has an app that lets me program it remotely! I mean, what’s not to like? I can now brew coffee from the couch—life is good!

Cheers to caffeine and technology!

Our machine arrived in perfect condition and is giving us great coffee and a lot pleasure. Now our problem is choosing coffees,' Definitely no intention of returning to pods,

Found The Coffee Lobby from there website, took my coffee machine in to be fixed guys there were honest in that it was more economical to buy a second hand machine, traded my old one in at a fair price and came away with a preloved machine, scales and am looking to buy a coffee grinder from them too.

No hard pushy sales, they give advice and up to you if you go with it. People there are great, they know there stuff. Would highly recommend for servicing and repairs, or if you want a decent second hand or new machine.

Part exchanged my Sage coffee machine for a pre loved Lelit Mara X and a brand new white Mahlkönig X54. The Mahlkönig feels like a premium product, it was beautifully packaged and gave a pleasant unboxing feel. An extremely consistent grinder that’s super quiet and feels like it’s commercial big brother but at a much nicer price.

Nit being one to go through the rigmarole if pouring and timing etc, i bought this brewer to save all that faff. I am delighted with the results it gives, balanced sweet, fruity brews. Set up easy and use is even easier. If you are looking for a no nonsense chemex brewer that looks the part in the kitchen then this is definitely for you.

I’m really happy with my new Conti ACE. Everything about it feels well built and designed to help you make great coffee. It looks good too — we went for the black and chrome model.



I love that it’s volumetric, so once I’ve dialled in a new coffee, I can set the yield and it repeats it every time. It has two boilers with an additional heater for the group head, so it warms up in half the time of my old E61 machine, and maintains a consistent temperature for shot after shot. It’s easy to program the pre-infusion phase or alter the temperatures to tweak the extraction you’re getting. The steam wand deserves a special mention: it delivers abundant steam that seems very dry, so the texture of my steamed milk is markedly better.

Big thanks to Martin and Darren at Coffee Gadgets UK for helping us find our ideal machine — and for installing it, plumbing it in and setting it up. They’ve been immensely helpful throughout, and their knowledge of all the equipment is unparalleled.
