There support staff was not active. They don't active on the phone calls. Also there food was not so good. With they have overprice. I wish that no one came hare. Thank you.
I bought a Simonilli Musica machine on Coffe Italia website. It took 2,5 month to receive my order. The company does not exist in UK, or other EU countries. Just in Italy. Within 6 month my Coffee machine is defect and they don't take any responsibility for repair. All phone lines are answering by an answering machine. Finally I found their real shop in Italy. They don't support anything and mostly even don't take the phone.
Bought a Gaggia Classic Evo Pro 2023 a few months ago. Checked before buying and in the FAQ it clearly stated that they are "authorised dealers for all the products we sell". This is absolutely NOT the case for Gaggia. I have a warranty issue and have had to spend £30 on courier costs that I wouldn't have had to if I bought the machine from the only real reseller in the UK. Check the Gaggia website (image attached for the only UK authorised reseller). I was aware of Gaggia grey imports and thought I had checked first but this statement on their website is a lie and I have been duped, please don't be! Next stop - Trading Standards.
Purchased a new Vibiemme Domobar digital ….an expensive machine.
Delivery was a little delayed but it eventually turned up only to find that the boiler would not heat. Within 2 hours I had made contact and received advice on what simple steps I could take to ensure it wasn't a straightforward issue.Tried those but no joy.
Then received advice about dismantling the base under the boiler ….really? ….on a brand new £1000 coffee machine, asking me to dismantle it?
Anyway I refused and rejected the machine forthwith and advised that unless I received confirmation of either a replacement or a refund by the end of that day I would contact credit card company which I subsequently then did. Not a peep since….a £1000 coffee machine that doesn't make coffee but no responsibility taken by this company.
I have Ordered Espresso machines From Coffe Italia last week. The product is very good and deliver on time.
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!
I had the V3 of the 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.
I like drinking coffee and basically I cosnider this beverage is one of the best. I also like tea, but coffee is my passion anyway. I started to explore various websites and coffee shops online in order to understand which sorts of coffee I didn't drink mainly to acquire such coffee and drink couple of cups. I found i nthe internet this coffee shop, which claims that this coffee is from Italia. I contacted customer support and found our how much I would pay for the delivery of this coffee. It wasn't so much and ordered it. It was shipped pretty fast and I have already tasted some cups. Definitely recommend this place.
My experience started with a question around what coffee machine best suited my needs, I was able to speak to someone at your firm and they provided me with clear guidance on the type of machine, the recommended brand and a grinder that would also suit as part of an overall package.
A number of things blew me a way, the speed with which the machine was dispatched, the ongoing communication regarding its delivery and the quality of packaging to ensure the machine arrived safely at our home.
The fact that the machine makes better espressos than any coffee shop I have been to anywhere in the world, well that is a huge bonus. The machine demonstrates that Italians know how to make beautiful machines that function as designed.
I cannot recommend these guys strongly enough!
I don't often leave reviews, but here I had a desire to share my opinion. At the time of registration of the application, namely the too low price for the product I selected, namely, personalized ground coffee from the Coffe Italia trademark, I was pleasantly surprised. The work of the manager is at a high level, they explained everything, agreed on the delivery time, offered rational payment terms for me as a buyer. And in the shortest days of transportation, the goods were received by me. Thank you for the pleasant moments.
I ordered a Rancilio Rocky in June-21. Unfortunately UPS somehow managed to lose the delivery to my intermediate shipper, based in Luton, England. Upon notifying Caffe Italia I was immediately sent a replacement grinder which arrived without any issue.
The grinder itself exceeds my expectations. It is a serious bit of home barista kit, simple but seemingly bombproof and I am able to pull really decent espresso shots using my stovetop 9Barista espresso machine.
I can only recommend Caffe Italia for their service & great equipment
Processing payment took over a week no order updates parts missing on delivery and left to sort it out myself. 3 weeks after the delivery I still have no parts and I have asked to return the item and get a refund. Since then they have gone quiet and ignore my emails.
I bought the Gaggia Cadorna Prestige with a slightly heavy heart, simply because I am barista trained and enjoy the interaction with coffee making. However, we decided to make the move, at home, to this Gaggia beans to cup machine. What a fantastic decision it turned out to be! The whole machination is faultless; the cleaning system is well thought out, the button options are clearly designed by people who enjoy their coffee and it is actually quite simple to use. The worktop footprint it takes up is minimal and design wise, I think it looks quite snazzy! One initial problem was accessing the water tank but after making a quick call to the UK supplier, this was sorted; the water tank was interference fit so needed a bit of a yank to pull it out but once I realised it was sturdy enough, the problem was solved and after extracting and reinstalling it a handful of times, it became just a snug fit. I was reassured by the advice given and it proved totally correct. I anticipate a fulfilled and and lengthy usage from this Gaggia Cadorna Prestige machine and somewhat begrudgingly wonder why I have spent years manually perfecting coffee, when all I need now is to push buttons. Another plus point is that my husband can use this machine without making my kitchen look totally ransacked!
I bought a portafilter after written confirmation that it was compatible with my machine. I received it and it was not compatible. I had to prove with photos and videos that it was not compatible indeed. They confirmed in writing from the UK that I would receive the compatible product at no extra cost to me, as the error was not mine. They passed the ball between the teams from UK and Spain and, in the end, from coffeeitalia.es they asked me to pay an extra cost of 35 euros if I wanted the compatible product (of course without justifying why such extra cost). In the end, their mistake had to be paid by me as a customer. I refused. After almost two months and about 20 emails, they finally made me a refund (what I paid for the non-compatible portafilter plus the shipping costs to Italy for its return) but not in its entirety, since 2.71 euros were missing. Very shabby. I asked for the reason why and never got a response. In short, the management of coffeeitalia.es (Caffè Italia) is terrible and really shabby due to its lack of transparency and ethics with the client. If you have a problem with your order, most likely you will also waste your time and money too.
Thank you for the accommodating service, and the reasonable price in comparison to other online stores. Without Coffeeitalia I wouldn't own such a coffee grinder.
Originally settled on the Sage Bambino but after discussion I was persuaded by these guys to go for a Gaggia Classic Pro. Turns out they were right.
Great service, great advice and the free coffee they give you after a purchase is even excellent quality.

Customer Service from Coffee Italia is appalling. My machine was faulty on delivery and 5 weeks later I still dont have a replacement. They expected me to fix the problem, the Call Centre provide updates or information, the manager refuses to call, you only get occasional email updates. No apology or attention to the issue; its as if they dont care about me as the customer. We all expect very good customer experience these days but this just isnt good enough.
Had an awful experience with this company over the last month, would really recommend avoiding.
I tried to purchase a new lever espresso machine because their prices are slightly lower and didn't want to purchase through a big corporate giant. They say they sent it to me but it was incorrectly labelled and so got held up, first in Italy and then apparently in the UK. I'm now getting messages from the shipper that the package has been lost en route, but Caffe Italia are refusing to refund me - just responding with abusive emails, threats, and repeatedly hanging up on me saying they "dont' have time to help" when I check in once a week.
I understand that some aspects of shipping are beyond a company's control, but according to the shippers Caffe Italia made errors that caused the delays, and are now sitting on £500+ of my money and refusing a refund. Extremely distressing.
I had an initial problem with my product when it arrived, but the guys at Caffe Italia were really helpful in helping me resolve the issue and as a coffee lover, spending a lot of money of a coffee machine and a grinder, I was really appreciative of their help.
In the end they helped me resolve the problem, and I'm so happy with my machines and the service from the guys at Caffe Italia.
I wouldn't hesitate to contact these guys in the future for my needs. Great guys.
I want to give 5 stars, because I bought an excellent espresso machine for a very competitive price, directly sent from Italy, plus instant customer service when I needed a warranty exchange for the damaged water tank. I just needed to provide a few photos of the damage, and they instantly sent me a replacement tank. Now a short comment on the website: It is a great website with a huge variety, but I could not make my purchase while being logged into my account, it only worked while being logged out. That led to the purchase not showing up in my account, which worried me a bit. But in the end, everything was correct. It would be nice to fix this bug on the page, for the customer's peace of mind.
Answer: No i can't share any success with coffee italia, because nothing about my order has been successful.
Answer: Very quick replies until something goes wrong, then extremely difficult and they ignore you
Answer: A cheaper price for a reconditioned machine but the poor customer service that follows, the refusal to sort a fault, which was there from delivery, makes me wish I'd never heard of this company. Pay the extra, use the UK dealer and get an extra years warranty, free collection and delivery for warranty claims and excellent customer service. Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing
