  • Kotlie Espresso 4in1 Coffee Machine Review - amzn.to/4bqFdOB
    This arrived in a branded box with images of the coffee machine on the outside along with specifications. Once opened the whole unit is sandwiched between bespoke polystyrene with a box containing two of the coffee capsule adapters, and the manual in the side. Once un-wrapped the water tank has a scoop and air pump inside along with an adapter already fitted in the machine. Everything is very well packed, protected and presented.
    First impressions: the machine is fairly light and very compact, the water tank is easy enough to remove and replace, and can also be filled without taking the tank off with the removable lid. The adapters are easy to change with the lock in place handle on the top, and the drip tray and cover easy top clean as they are removable. I like the small footprint this takes up in the kitchen and the overall sleek look, although the size does mean the water capacity is limited to 0.8L which does mean filling frequently.
    I gave all the removable parts a good wash and clean to remove any manufacturing taint then used the pump to prime the water as detailed in the manual. I ran through a few cups of water then I was ready to try it out. I thought the manual very well set out and easy to follow, with good step by step guides for different adapters.
    I first tried this out with some ground coffee beans which worked perfectly on a 4oz cup, I did find the machine quite loud and it vibrated when working but the vibration was due to me having it situated on the cooker top, and once I put it on a solid surface there was no apparent vibration, and the sound level was far lower. I did find when the adapter for loose coffee a bit awkward to clean out after use as you need to remove the filter insert to remove the residue then wash everything out.
    I tried this out with some nespresso capsules with the correct adapter and found it worked really well. The emptying process is really simple, and it made a great cup of coffee with very little effort.
    Overall in my opinion this is a nice compact machine that is easy to use. It is versatile, taking different capsules along with loose coffee. The water tank is easy to fill which I like as the capacity is limited, and the controls are very simple. The only minor issue I had was when using loose coffee I found it a bit of a pain to remove and clean after.

      Hi mate, just watched your review. How are you finding it down the road a little bit more.
      I have a Tassimo and have had for ten plus years, but I'm getting a little bored with the selection of coffee.
      The dolce machine is basically the same and the Nespresso is probs the best with a hell of a lot more to select from coffee wise.
      But one that can do the lot in one go seems very appealing and it's 99 quid at Amazon right now.
      But I'd like to hear from someone who's used it a bit, rather than the usual Amazon 'amazing'🙄 comments.
      Any advice would be much appreciated 👍🏻.
      A new sub to your channel mate..

      @@antonytheolddog8626 Hi, for me the negatives are the amount of water it holds isn't great so you do have to fill it up quite often. It has 4oz and 2oz, and sometimes you won't get a full 4oz. I am not sure if this is an issue with the nespresso pods I have been using, and just pressing 2oz it will top up. The ground coffee works well but is a bit awkward to clean out after. Overall I am pleased with it, and use it several times a day.

    It is Black Friday week and I saw another review from a "Dax79" not a great review, you've made this machine look far more of a purchase and good to see you put it on an unstable surface of a cooker lid then on a worktop surface which of course is far more stable and solid. I don't like with the fresh coffee pod it leaves hot Water behind in it, can be messy and be easily spilt if the sink isn't that close by.
    Looks great but on the fence with this one? Do I or Don't I?
    I'll have a few days to think about this one...... good review!

    • @Kalbo64
      @Kalbo64  Před 9 měsíci

      Hi, thank you for the kind comments. I am going to do a follow up review on this machine in the near future. For a quick breakdown after 5 months use the pro's are: It is quick and fairly quiet. You can easily switch between pods and ground coffee. It is small so won't take up much counter space. Everything is easy enough to clean. The con's are: It does not hold much water so you have to top it up frequently. The amount of water it dispenses is either 2oz or 4oz and the amount can sometimes be inconsistent to a small degree. When using ground coffee it is a pain to clean out the filter. Hope this helps.

    I have had mine for a week, which is odd cause I hate week coffee. I had troublegettingNespresso togiveme coffee, I got hot water. But possibly you need to use the small size?? But Keurig works great, and makes hot delicious coffee. It does spill agua all over. And a full size coffee cup never fits under the brewing spout. I have not tried preground coffee.

      @Kalbo64  Před 2 měsíci

      Hi, I have seen a few people saying they have this issue, but have not seen any solution. Personally I have not experienced this, and mainly use nespresso pods. The lever does take a fair bit of pressure to close and release, I presume by design in having to puncher the pods. I can only really suggest contacting the supplier.

    Your filter was not filled enough and your grind size may have been off. Ive watched many videos of this machine and not a single one of them were loud like yours. Maybe faulty machine
    If i dont get the proper pressure when brewing, my espresso machine makes the same noise as yours. If my basket is filled and tamped properly with the correct ground size, the machine purrs like a kitten

      Hi, I just had a close look at mine. It has fine holes on the internal and just one small hole on the bottom in the middle. You do get some water left in with the coffee grinds after use. I would say if you don't have the small hole in the bottom middle then the part is defective.
