The Belman coffee machine

Brilliant coffee machine took it away on a four day trip and I couldn’t have a better coffee mate by machine an absolute great addition to my camping gear thank you to the team

Perfect for caravan

The Bellman has solved my coffee needs and with its frother as well I now can make my perfect coffee when caravanning! Perfecting the coffee extraction was not difficult and after a couple of coffees it was easy. I ordered the tamper as well which makes it much easier to get it all right. It did need the induction adapter but that was easy to order too!

It is a Christmas present

No pressure

Unfortunately it's never worked for us. We have tired so many different ways but the pressure doesn't seem to build up enough to get the coffee out. Sad because it's such a cool concept and wish it worked.

Excited!

Bought a Bellman's espresso maker and steamer. Learning how to use it but happy to see Alternative made some helpful videos as well.

Bellman

I love it. Great little machine...

Bellman Brew success

This is not a plug & play device. I’ve been tinkering with settings and quantities to get a coffee I’m happy with. A bit of a learning curve, but love the YouTube videos with tips. Only disappointment is not getting the tamper when I purchased my Bellman. You can’t use a normal one and paying an extra $10 for delivery is over the top.

I love this coffee maker and use it every day!

It's 4 months since receiving the Bellman CX-25P. In that time I've made a coffee for my wife and myself nearly every day. If I was to drop the bellman off the back porch (where I leave it to cool) and break it, I'd be ordering a replacement on that day. I really like it that much.

Clever idea but needs refining and till then doesn’t make the grade

I think the idea is great and the coffee is reasonable. Firstly let me state we don’t use the frother - we’re espresso drinkers only. There are some improvements that could be made, especially when used in an RV setting. The heat up process takes too long when compared to a Bialetti Brikka. The idea of heating the water first in a kettle is nonsense in an RV - six of this, 1/2 dozen of the other. Loading coffee into the filter is way too messy - especially for 3 cups. Cleaning out the old coffee grounds is even messier. Making a second brew is really hard as the whole thing is very hot and needs to be cooled - wasting precious water. The handle is a ****** design - unless it’s in very tight - the whole thing can spin around when you pick it up by the handle. The coffee brew is good but not good enough for me to move away from the Bialetti Brikka (the good old one with the steel valve). The Bellman will not be making another trip in the RV. The older style Brikka beats it hands down for ease of use when travelling even if the brew isn’t quite the same. Was fun trying it out.

Great solution for off grid camping!!!!

Love this machine. Looks great, fun to use and produces really great coffee!!! Highly recommend!

New best friend

My big sister decided that I needed one of these. We were together in Brisbane clearing out our mother’s house. My sister had to leave after a few days, but she knew that a Bellmann would be what I needed to get through the difficult days ahead. It took me a few tries to get the hang of it, but soon we were companions; my days began with a big brew - coffee for me for breakfast, and a thermos to get me through the coming day. Brilliant! Though the device raised a few eyebrows at airport security, I now have my faithful companion with me to accompany me on a half work, half holiday trip through southern France, and it rocks. Jet lag? What jet lag?! Love it.

Just perfect

Just love it❣I have black coffee and my husband loves a cuppacino…I make them to our taste in one go…use induction..so,so good ..thanks

Perfect Rrplacement

We’ve been using a very old reconditioned Bellman for years and years, so buying a new one was a no brainier! I’d recommend one to anyone and this new one has not, in anyway, disappeared!!!

Great

Takes a little to get use to, but overall great product!

Not good

Followed instructions to the letter, but when trying to extract the coffee it splutters out with steam.

Bellman coffee maker

The unit is fantastic. Borrowed one from my brother in law and used it with some friends camping. Three of the camping party will be purchasing the same unit. That speaks for itself!!

Bellman №2

Having had my bellman for over 3 years it was time to buy another for the motorhome.

Good way of making coffee while going camping

We have been going camping for few times with our Bellman CX 25P and we never missed our cappuccino or latte

Bellman, oh yeah.

Purchased for use in our hybrid van. Trialed at home on the induction cooktop. Fantastic. Can't wait to use in on our next road trip. Espresso in in camp-site. Will see how it functios on the gas. Time wise...induction heats so quickly.

Unused at the moment, happy to review once I do my camping trip

Sorry, Unused at this point.
