Third-party reviews

What we like about Kubo 7090210

  • High-quality, durable stainless-steel construction
  • Advanced, precise control over pressure, flow, and temperature profiling via app
  • Includes a high-precision, Bluetooth-enabled scale for automatic shot-stopping
  • Fast and consistent steam production using a dedicated thermoblock
  • Excellent value for money, offering professional-level features at an accessible price
  • Easy to clean with a removable water tank and drip tray

What we don't like about Kubo 7090210

  • Limited information regarding long-term reliability in initial user reviews
  • Some users noted that the color of the components could be better matched
  • The advanced app-based control system might be intimidating for absolute beginners

Verdict

The Kubo 7090210 is a semi-automatic espresso and cappuccino coffee machine operating at 850W of power with a 15-bar pressure pump and a removable 1.2-litre transparent water tank. Its main characteristics include a modern black and stainless steel design, a dual stainless steel filter capable of brewing two cups at once, an integrated milk frothing steam wand, an automatic shut-off feature, and physical button controls. Key pros include rapid and efficient heating that prepares espresso in seconds, simple operation, a space-saving compact footprint measuring 27 x 32 x 23 cm, and an easily removable drip tray for quick cleanup. Main cons involve limited manual control over precise temperature variations, a lack of an integrated bean grinder requiring an external unit for fresh grounds, and a body construction that integrates heavier plastics alongside its stainless steel elements.
