Customer Reviews

One of the most recent reviews praises the quality of the Aicok machine. They state that it beats their 4 previous espresso machines hands down. They bought this to replace a $99 Delonghi machine, which was replaced 4 times in 4 years – so we can assume this is a heavy user. They compared going from the Delonghi to the Aicok as “it’s like going P.C to Mac, it just works”.

Another reviewer purchased this machine to replace their Keurig unit and states that they will never go back. They even go as far as to state “I tell all my family and friends about it” – what more evidence do you need that this is a great machine for the price!

One review praises the machine for the quality of the coffee, which is comparable to the larger more expensive units. They state that there was no problems setting up the machine, it was easy to use and that they “love it can handle cups of small or large size by removing the drip tray.”

Questions and Answers You Should Know

Question: “What kind of pods does this machine use?”

Answer: The Aicok Espresso machine is designed to use the small round pods – specifically the Nespresso capsules – more information can be found here on the Nespresso Website.


Question: “Are the filling capacities variable and programmable?”

Answer: The Aicok Espresso machine comes pre-programmed with the standard sizes (Espresso = 1.2 – 1.88oz. Lungo = 2.39 – 3.7oz). However it is very simple to reprogram – press the (> 5s) button until you fill your desired cup and it will be saved.


Question: “Is this machine automatic? Will I need to press a button to stop the coffee pouring?”

Answer: The Aicok Espresso machine is classed as a ‘super-automatic espresso machine’ meaning that you can simply press a button and not worry. Assuming you have the correct size cup then the machine will pour the perfect cup of coffee and stop – or as the answer above states, you can pre-program to your desired cup.


Question: “How easy is this machine to clean and how often does it require decalcification?”

Answer: The Aicok Espresso machine is super easy to clean. Like most machines it does require decalcification around every 600 cafes. However there is a cool alert system which brings this to your attention – the coffee selection button will flash yellow. The user manual does a great job of describing how to clean the machine effectively. We also have some good advice on how to clean and maintain your espresso machine.
