What we like about LIVOO Feel Good Moments DOD174

  • Attractive retro design with chrome finishes and a pressure gauge
  • Fast heating in roughly 1 minute due to Thermoblock technology
  • Versatile, capable of using ground coffee or ESE pods
  • 15 bar pressure allows for good extraction and creamy espresso
  • Adjustable steam nozzle makes good milk foam for cappuccinos
  • Large, removable 1.5-litre water tank

What we don't like about LIVOO Feel Good Moments DOD174

  • Some users reported a slight metallic or acidic taste in the coffee
  • Requires manual cleaning of the steam wand immediately to avoid clogging
  • Can be difficult to clean mineral deposits
  • The tamper provided is plastic and relatively low quality
  • Reported as having a lower-than-average taste test score by some expert reviewers

Verdict

The LIVOO Feel Good Moments DOD174 is a retro-styled, semi-automatic espresso machine featuring a 1350W Thermoblock heating system that readies the unit in just 1 minute. It operates with a 15-bar pressure pump to maximize flavor extraction and features a large, removable 1.5-liter water tank alongside an integrated pressure gauge and an adjustable stainless steel steam nozzle for milk frothing. Main pros include its dual-use design accommodating both ground coffee and ESE paper pods, an intuitive three-switch control interface, an upper cup-warming tray, and a removable drip tray for easy cleaning. However, notable cons include its entirely manual operation which lacks programmatic cup-volume automation, and its budget construction which integrates plastic elements alongside the chrome finishes.
