Got this today. Only had a couple of cups so far but it's the business. Beans in the top, coffee in your cup, does latte and cappuccino as well.

Nice lipstick mate.
Coffee maker looks alright. Can't beat delonghi stuff.
Is it actually any good though? Or is it just a novelty? I'll admit i'm not a fan of coffee at all so wouldn't know what a good or bad cup was. It all tastes like shit to me.

After something like this for the pub, is it tank or mains water fed?

Tank. Probably need a more industrial one for running all day, think this one is recommended for a small office at the most. Suppose it depends how much coffee you sell right enough.

I'd expect it to come with an unlimited supply of coffee for that price.
I bought a cafetiere for £20, makes great coffee

Awesome machines. Would love one, but couldn't justify the price for the amount of coffee I drink at home.
Also looks a bit too industrial to suit our kitchen.
The hot water / milk steamer setup looks exactly the same as our Nespresso. Just hope it's better at actually producing steamed milk, as all the Nespresso spills out is hot milk with a bit of foam.
Surprised they haven't gone with a regular steamer for this type of machine. Optional extra?
Get that sticker off ASAP or it'll leave a "shadow" on the steel.

It's the normal steamer that's on it in the picture, the all in one unit is sitting to the left hand side.
The steamed milk isn't quite as good as a proper barista but it's better than I managed most of the time on the Gaggia, it's definitely as frothy as you want it to be.
Edit to say I could steam it myself with the normal one if required, I never will though.

A black one... 
Looks a lot like a smaller version of John's here. Then, it's made by the same company, so not surprising...

Oh, I figured that the one fitted was just a hot water tap.

Hmm, now you've said that I can't actually be sure. It possibly is. I'll have a look later.
