Featured advertorial on 50Connect.co.uk, posted on: 08 November 2010 by Gareth Hargreaves


If you have a penchant for fresh coffee but a dislike of the effort it takes to make - and clean up after - the Rombouts new Espresso is the answer to your prayers.

50connect is a coffee loving office; our tastes are diverse and whether it's Americano, skinny latte, mocha or flat white, we'll give it a try. So having a machine to test that means we no longer have to trek out in the drizzle to find decent coffee is bliss.

The Oh Espresso is a coffee pod machine that is perfectly complemented by Rombouts slow-roasted Arabica range. The coffee is packed in 100 percent natural filter paper and vacuum packed to retain maximum freshness.

The features that most impressed us with the Rombouts new Espresso were its simplicity, cleanliness and the quality and consistency of the coffee produced. And while this is a very simplistic summation of the qualities of the machine, it proves it does exactly what you'd expect of it - with excellence.

Anyone who has tried coffee from one of the previous generation of pod/capsule-based coffee machines will probably have screwed up their face at the stale-tasting, unappealing brown liquid they were presented with.

Well, you can consign those bitter memories to the mists of time. Making a coffee with the Oh Espresso is just three simple steps: drop the pod in the machine, turn the lever and your Espresso coffee is brewed in 20 seconds! And with a flick of the simple lever system, the used pod is removed and you are ready for another cup.

The machine is equipped with a unique patented extraction system guaranteeing 16-bar high pressure. The water temperature and pressure is controlled carefully to give the coffee body and create an exceptionally thick and smooth cream.

Key Features


  • Easy to use: simple lever to operate the system
  • Unique coffee pod system
  • Pump: 16 Bar pressure optimises the coffee extraction process
  • Water Filter: Brita Filters (Ensures the water is 100% pure)
  • Free starter coffee pack (Pods & Milk Frother)

Simply put, we can add nothing to the above other than 'whose turn is it to make the next cup?' This is a stylish, sturdy, low maintenance must-have for anyone who has a discerning palate and a love of good coffee.
