Morphy Richards 47505 Roma

I had one for about a year and found the quality of the coffee deteriorated over time. In the end I went back to my plunger for strong coffee. I did try different brands etc... but the coffee just seemed watery. Incidentally - once I accidentally threw away the rubber tip from the milk frothing spout and Morphy Richards replaced it for £6. Their service was quite quick but I thought £6 was steep.

Had this for 3+ years now - still churning out great coffee. The milk frother is a little slow but as I normally drink my coffee au naturel that does not affect me!

Produces a great crema.

The support has been fantastic - had a few teething problems (looking back on it it may have been more operator error - do NOT twist the coffee holder handle beyond the point where it sticks out a right angles!)

A bargain at about £75

For the price this machine is a welcome , simple working machine.

The service from Morphy richards is outstanding, I needed a gasket and without questions and charge it was send to me from the UK.

HOWEVER.....we had a Gaccia before,which broke after 20 YEARS!!and that machine was definitely a step up.

In short, a good machine for a good price, but NOT for the BARISTA!!

Cheers,

Hendrik.

This is a very good espresso coffee machine and I already recommended it at least 3 friends of mine.

It is an all-round top budget choice for an espresso machine. It is far far better than any other machine priced at £100 or less.

I bought this machine now over 6-7 years ago and it still works perfectly and the coffee it makes is fantastic. It is a very well build coffee maker and I have not experienced any issues with dripping. My congratulations to Murphy Richards for this product!

The only thing I could critisize is that larger cups do not fit. But that is not a big issue! I now live back in Spain and the water is very hard but this dose not affect it.

Again thank you for the pleasure I have drinking its coffee!

This is just a quick note that this machine is the same as the Lello 1375 Ariete Cafe Prestige Coffee Maker (see U.S. version amazon.com) and in Australia it's a Sunbeam something or other. Many reviews for this available at amazon.com. I like mine but it sometimes seems to block for a minute before it makes the espresso.

I've had my "Morphy Richards 47505 Roma Pump" machine for well over five years now and it's still producing amazing coffee.

It's a very well built machine, especially considering that it only cost £99 when I bought it and had a 2 year warranty. These days they are all made from plastic for that price.

The pump is your standard Italian-made 15bar unit and is a little noisy, but more than sufficient with regards to pressure. The boiler is sturdy and steams up really fast for almost instant coffee making, and the steam attachment works very well.

It weighs a tonne as you can imagine (it's all metal), and the water tank is a good size. Drip tray is large, but coffee left inside will erode the metal (be warned). Comes with portafilters, filter holder, coffee measure, froth nozzle, but no jug!

Be careful as some pre-ground espresso will block it (such as Illy). Best to grind coffee yourself. Easy to use, easy to clean, good looking, simple and a great price. Shame they don't make it anymore.

I love my 47505, and I will continue to love it for many years to come.

had one of these Morphy Richards 47505 Romas for 5 years and used every day - never failed and produces great coffee

I got through three of these machines under warranty - the first leaked from the water resevoir; the second one cracked near the group head and spraying steam everywhere; the third was fine until last week - now it too is spraying coffee/steam mixture around the room. Very dangerous! Other reviews suggest this is a systemic problem of poor build quality.
