diabolical customer service abhorrent don't waste your money and time believe me

purchased the Ceado E37SD by bank transfer big mistake as the bank wont cover for this type of transaction. I did it to save £35.00 the machine almost £1700. Had it for less then six months quit working I live by myself didn't use it very often. so I take the machine out to the repair shop AE Stanton It took seven months to get it back. I called and not once once Matteo if that his name call back. He also said that all parts are covered under warranty for two that a total lie because he charge me almost £100 to replace a board. no problem he said and the last minute he charged me. I had to use my friends phone because he recognized my number and wouldn't answer the phone. do yourself a favour and buy British made products only. the worst experience of my life I felt like I been taken to the cleaners also you cant go and see the man because there is no physical shop probably operates from his bathroom. The customer service line that's a lie too there only one lines sales go figure. Meat-head knows all the tricks to skirt around the laws. do not and i repeat do not but any electrical appliance from this company you will regret it. Buy British products believe me.
Mike Burns
Ps i noticed all the negative reviews about the customer service are the same and then he Matteo acts like he so nice and replies don't be taken in by this charlatan .This man lies and will hang up if you question anything don't by any electricals overseas I have all the emails and will post them as well, the only thing this dude cares about id getting your hard earned money once achieved your left in the abyss of doom

Dear sir first of all we thank you for your comment which allows us to give a public response that will useful to any potential reader.

I confirm that you have purchased a Ceado E37SD product on our e-commerce platform with order number UK100120646 on 12 January 2021

we also confirm that you have paid by bank transfer and that the product was regularly delivered to you in 4 working days. You reported the malfunction after about 7 months, the service center confirmed that the electronic board had been damaged by a power surge, for your information, the product you have purchased is an item for professional use and therefore by law warranty for commercial product is 1 year and not 2 years as happens for domestic products, but above all you should know in the professional products all the electrical and electronic components are excluded from guarantee. We promptly ordered the spare part from the supplier, unfortunately, as we all know, the health emergency combined with the enormous difficulties in supplying materials has generated a strong delay not only for your spare but to many other situations like yours. You are absolutely right, but unfortunately the difficulties we had handling your case cannot be attributed to us, what we always do is to contact our suppliers to get a quick solution of the problems associated with spare parts but unfortunately, the problems I mentioned are beyond above any kind of resolution and the only possibility is to wait.

Regarding your recommendations to buy English-made products we would gladly do it if they existed, but as you yourself know the best products on the market for grinding coffee are 90% manufactured by Italian companies. We are sorry to hear your comments offending our collaborators calling them scoundrels or even worse, our collaborators are human being and not some machines. Our team have a life they even though they work 14 hours a day sometimes they can take a day of or getting sick. We are sure that if you did not have an adequate service in communication the reason is one of the reason mentioned here. Last thing: I am sure you will understand, we are e-commerce therefore online sellers and for this reason we do not have physical stores, we have been doing it for 21 years and we have always carefully followed tens of thousands of customers as you can also see from the positive reviews we have. If you are not satisfied we are sorry but we promise you that we will give you a nice gift to forgive this unpleasant situation.

best regards

Machine being repaired for 7 months

Cafe-Italia

Was promised again you would to get back to me with an update when my machine will be back with us. The mailbox is always full.

You have thanked me for my patience in this matter but I’ve run out of patience.

My machine was bought and paid for in May 2021.

It arrived damaged.

We were told to get an engineer to repair it and you would re-emburse the cost. Not happened.

Rang and explained even though damaged part had been replaced the machine did not work.

In July You arranged for it to be collected and sent to A E Stanton’s.

I’ve telephoned and emailed numerous times, yourselves and A E Stanton’s.

Constantly told different stories.

No one comes back to me I’m constantly chasing this.

I’m going to Trading Standards on Monday.

I’m also going to leave my experience with you on your reviews page.

I’m considering going to the BBC Watchdog Program.

I’ve asked for a refund. You said and I quote “ if it was up to me I would “

Well who is it up to ??

I want the machine back damaged still or not. I’ll get my own repairs done.
Or a full cash refund in to my bank.

I’ve now had enough of this really diabolical customer service.

Bellisima macchina !

Non scrivo Italiano molto bene ma vorrei dire mille grazie per la bellisima macchina del caffè, arrivata stamattina.

(Sorry for my bad Italian!) The La Pavoni Europiccola is a work of art. Delivery was both swift and tracked.

Squisita !

Rancilio Silvia Coffee Machine

I had the V3 of the Rancilio Silvia for many years and when it finally failed I had no hesitation in getting the latest model as a replacement.
The boiler on the new model seems a little more powerful, and the portafilter and tamper supplied are an improvement, but the basic functionality is as good as ever. I'm no barista but I love the coffee I can make with this machine, from espresso to flat whites. The automatic 'turn off after 30 mins" (of inactivity) is a plus for me as I did accidentally leave the old machine on all day on a couple of occasions.

As with the previous machine, I ordered from Caffe Italia, mainly because it worked before and was substantially cheaper than UK sources. It's a week for delivery and the packaging was fine - it actually arrived a day earlier than originally stated.

Mixed experience with coffeeitalia

Mixed experience with coffeeitalia - ordered an espresso machine and grinder - both were shipped together but with the grinder upside down, so the bean hopper was crushed. The espresso machine tank was also cracked in the base and therefore unusable. It took 6 weeks for replacement water tank and hopper to be dispatched, and only after multiple emails and a complaint, but at least the items are now functional.

A top level service, with great offerings.

After having a Gaggia Brera for 8 years of hard work (home based working), it finally gave up. Looking around we chose the Gaggia Babila, and bought it through Caffe Italia. Both the price and service were excellent. The machine is outstanding - great coffee, with no hassle, every time. I'd highly recommend Caffe Italia's service and product range, particularly if you're after a Gaggia.

I have just purchased a new Gaggia…

I have just purchased a new Gaggia Classic Pro coffee machine from Caffe Italia to replace my previous Gaggia Classic which has given me many years of service and with only one trip to the repairers during all that time. Caffe Italia were very prompt in dispatching my new machine and the first coffee drinks produced equally matched the excellence of coffee produced on my previous machine. I was impressed by the efficiency and the manner in which the machine was dispatched and the item arrived in mint condition within its box packaging together with a number of complimentary bags of ground Caffe Italia coffee ready for use. I was also kept informed through the dispatch period so that I could be ready for its arrival at my home address.

Perfect service!

Perfect service! The package came just in time. The only they need is a little more web development, better database interaction to the client account. I'm sure it is on the way

Bezzera Duo dual boiler with scratches and dents

The machine exterior was bent and dented, also one of the screw was dropped.
They want photos and that was it.

Dear Kemal, thank you for your review which allows us to publicly clarify what happened

Your order Number UK100123175 was placed on 8 September 2021 13:53:51.

You purchased a Bezzera Duo MN Refurbished, of course we all know what Refurbished means, all the reconditioned or overhauled products mostly come from trade fair, exhibition or from vending business. All these machines used for these types of purposes before being offered on sale in our platforms in the dedicated section they goes through a scrupulous checkup and are tested then by our technical department. The Refurbished Demo Unit section in our website provide the sale of USED products and NOT NEW therefore there can be little scratches, little imperfection, small dents, or signs of wear. The price of this product was 2,270 Pound tax included. You paid 1,467.99 Pounds and considering that the machine was an Ex- demo model, you made a great deal. Your machine was tested before being shipped, and it was working perfectly, therefore what you mention in your comment are not issues that you can attribute to Caffe Italia we unfortunately do not have no power to manage the couriers dedicated to transport the goods, so perhaps it was more correct to make a complaint to the courier and not to us. Checking the Logs of your communications with us we saw that our team always answered your phone calls except one because the lines was busy. We asked you to send us the photos in order to be able to act promptly with the courier to submit a claim against them. We have also informed you that our service center is available to promptly intervene on your coffee machine as we believe that what you have reported to us is solvable, of course times may not be very fast, but what I can guarantee you is that we are constantly putting pressure on the service centers to always provide better service. To conclude Mr Kemal we are happy to give you any support you need, we realize that it can be frustrating for you not to be able to use your newly purchased product but we guarantee that what happened will not it depends on us but we are doing everything possible to help you, best regards THE MANAGEMENT

Coffee Machine purchase online

If one wants to buy quality coffee machines, this is the place. They stock renowned brands and their customer services is by far the best and a very proactive team. The delivery was made within a few days as promised and very well packaged. Will definitely recommend Caffè Italia to anyone looking to buy at the best prices available.

The product you ordered was a Bezzera Duo MN Refurbished.
We do all know what Refurbished means, all the reconditioned or overhauled products mostly derive from photo shootings, trade fairs, or the vending business. All the machines are used for these purposes before being put them back on sale in our platforms in the dedicated section, they pass a scrupulous check in and subsequent testing of our technical department. These Refurbished or Demo Unit section listed in our dedicated section of our websites, are not new therefore the signs of use represent normality: the signs of use can be scratches, small dents, or signs of wear. The value of the item you ordered was 2,270 £ and you paid only 1,467 £ because product was a refurbished from a trade fair.
Your machine before being shipped, was tested and it was perfectly working , therefore you cannot attribute this issue to Caffe Italia because unfortunately we have no power to manage the couriers dedicated to transport the goods, so perhaps it was more correct that you should have made a complaint to the courier and not to us. Anyway, from our side we always want to offer a proper after sale which is an important aspect of our job. Checking the Logs of your communications we saw that our employees always answered your phone calls except when the lines are busy. We asked you to send us some photos in order to be able to act promptly with the courier opening on you beahalf a tickef for transport damages "hoping that claim will be accepted", we have also informed you that our partner Stanton is always available to promptly check your coffee machine as we do believe that what you have reported is solvable, of course times may not be very fast, but what I can guarantee you is that we are constantly putting pressure on the service centers. To conclude Mr Kemal from on our part we are always ready to give you maximum support, we realize that it can be frustrating for you not to be able to use your product you have just purchased but we guarantee that what happened will not it depends on us but, we are doing everything possible to help you.

Fast delievery and nice service

We bought an espresso machine late 2020 and it was delievered with no delay and ready to plugin. Here well over a year later, the machine suddently stopped working just after New Year's, so I contacted customer service. After a few days of calling customer service without any one picking up or replying to my e-mail, I finally chose to contact sales instead. The kind guy answering told me that a lot of people were on holiday, but he made sure to quickly reply to my e-mail and helped me with guidance on how to fix the machine myself. Now my espresso machine is brewing again and I can only recommend the company - as long as you don't expect fast service around the holidays. But overall, I am a very happy customer!
