At a glance

The Swan Nordic SK22110GRYN is a budget manual pump espresso machine: 1100 W, 15 bar, a 1.2 L tank and a steam wand, in a matte Scandinavian-style body. Owners like its looks, compact size and ease of use, and say it makes good espresso and milky drinks for the price, especially with fresh espresso-grind coffee. The compromises are typical of the price. Normal mugs do not fit under the spout. The steam wand is short and fixed. The plastic body feels light and can stain. Some units taste of plastic until flushed well. There is no timer, cup warmer or programmable shot. It suits beginners and occasional espresso or latte drinkers who want a stylish, inexpensive machine. Enthusiasts wanting milk texturing control or sturdier build should look higher up. Long-term durability is not independently documented.

Strengths

  • Stylish Nordic design that owners frequently praise
  • Easy to set up and use, suitable for first-time espresso makers
  • Good espresso and crema for the money; takes ground coffee and ESE pods
Show all (6)
  • Compact footprint (about 31 x 19 x 28 cm, 3.4 kg) with a 1.2 L removable tank
  • Widely regarded as good value; frequently discounted below Swan's list price
  • Milk frothing works well for many owners

Things to consider

  • Standard mugs do not fit under the portafilter; espresso cups needed
  • Short, fixed steam wand; harder with large jugs or small amounts of milk; no jug included
  • Light plastic build that can stain from splashes
Show all (6)
  • Some units have a plastic taste until flushed repeatedly
  • No timer, cup warmer, water filter or programmable shots
  • Isolated failure reports, and no independent long-term reliability data
Who is it for, and who is it not for?

Good for

  • Beginners trying espresso at home on a budget
  • Small kitchens where a compact, good-looking machine matters
  • Occasional espresso, cappuccino and latte drinkers using pre-ground coffee or ESE pods

May not suit

  • Those wanting large mug drinks brewed directly into a tall cup
  • Enthusiasts wanting fine milk texturing control or a sturdy metal build
  • Buyers wanting bean-to-cup convenience or programmable shots

Go to the original reviews

Owners mostly see this as a stylish, compact entry-level espresso machine that is easy to learn and makes good espresso and milky drinks for the money. The most common complaints are practical. Standard mugs do not fit under the portafilter. The steam wand is short and fixed, which makes larger jugs or small amounts of milk awkward. The plastic body feels light, and coffee splashes can stain it. Some owners noticed a plastic taste until they flushed the machine several times. A few reported faults, including a steam function failing within days and a machine dying after about two years. Using fresh espresso-grind coffee and tamping firmly is a recurring tip.

  1. A*** P*** 1/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    The coffee has a suspiciously chemical/plastic taste which is dreadful and could be harmful.

  2. R*** Y*** 2/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Nice looking machine … But unfortunately the frother/ steam function packed up after just 2 days … Not particularly sturdy build

  3. J*** 3/5 17 July 2024 Amazon Nordic Grey

    I owned this machine for 2 years before it died on me. … The steam wand is...yikes. It's built with a curve that you cannot change, and is therefore too short for many types of jugs.

  4. K*** 4/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Great little coffee machine, Lovely colour. … Have to use a few times to get the plastic taste out of my coffee, and cant get a mug under have to have smaller cups. Other than that its a good coffee machine

  5. J*** L*** 4/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Things about it could be better such as a directional arrow to help you put the portafilter in correctly, and a larger gap between the portafilter and the drip tray would be good - a normal sized mug will not fit! Yet to use the milk frother so cannot comment. But, that being said, it is a great little machine at a bargain price and looks great in our kitchen.

  6. A*** 4/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    … Milk frothing wand is a little short. Would struggle steaming/frothing small amounts of milk. …

  7. K*** 4/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    … Only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the outer shell is plastic and feels a little flimsy but considering the price its a fab little machine.

  8. r*** 4/5 14 July 2026 Amazon Nordic Grey

    For the money, it's surprisingly good, coffee tastes nice, not as a nice as the gaggia but nice enough that I decided to keep this one for as long as it works. … The obvious negative owning it, is it feels cheap, light and plasticy. It is, for good reason, it's such good value, the price v performance is very good.

  9. D*** A*** 5/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Great little machine for the money. Only little thing that I dislike is that it moves around too easily as it’s not that heavy. Sucker pads on the bottom would probably help with it. Apart from that it’s a pretty decent machine

  10. C*** 5/5 20 September 2021 ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Beautiful design and feel. Comes with a handy booklet to explain how to make coffees (eg steaming milk properly). … Only issues is that the space under the coffee filter is short and won’t fit a normal mug - only espresso cups. The milk wand is also quite short but for a compact, budget machine, …

  11. P*** 5/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Great little coffee machine, just need to perfect getting the milk hotter .. make sure you buy ground coffee for espresso machine as it makes a difference. Also love how it looks!

  12. S*** F*** 5/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Bought as a gift for my husband, who is a bit of a coffee snob and he is very happy with it. The instruction booklet is a little confusing, but getting the hang of it after a couple of attempts and made some great drinks.

  13. S*** 5/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    This is a lovely budget machine, a bit more plastic than I thought but ideal for those not wanting to spend hundred and even thousands ...overall a great product that makes lovely coffee ..

  14. Customer 5/5 14 June 2026 ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Good quality product. Heats up quick too and makes lovely coffees. I do wish a milk jug came with it too.

  15. S*** 5/5 25 May 2026 ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Great espresso machine with good pressure for latte art. … Highly recommend

  16. S*** 5/5 2 December 2025 ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    This was to replace my very old Swan Espresso Maker, which had been used every day. So good, I bought it again!

  17. L*** 5/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Really good entry level product to make a decent coffee, how good it is depends on the coffee you choose!! Once you have learnt how to use it then it is quite quick to use. I recommend a milk thermometer to put in the jug as your steaming it to make sure its getting hot enough. Overall we're really pleased with it

  18. Customer 5/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Works great. Easy to set up and had my first coffee in 10 minutes ??. One tip is to make sure to follow the instructions and make the coffee before heating the milk! …

  19. V*** N*** 5/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Replaced an old expresso machine with this up to date but retro machine. Wow what an upgrade. Fantastic Crema coffee is now so smooth. Milk frother produces thick foam or hot milk so easy to adjust. So simple to use this machine to get the coffee you want as you are in total control.

  20. C*** B*** 5/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Impressed. A good crema and the grounds are dry making emptying non messy. A lot better than my previous coffee maker.

  21. V*** S*** 5/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Really good value product and compact enough to not take over the kitchen. The style is great too. Looks expensive and the I like that the steamer is metal and not plastic like some I've had in the past.

  22. K*** 5/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Sharp design and works well. The grey is not as, vulnerable to staining as other lighter colours

  23. S*** 5/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Does everything you need it to, looks great and is an absolute bargain! … Tip: If you don’t already have an espresso sized mug then buy one to use with this. A normal sized mug doesn’t fit in the space provided unless you remove the drip tray.

  24. J*** 4/5 No date ao-retail-ltd (Feefo) Nordic Grey (AO)

    Looks beautiful. Good size for a kitchen surface. Makes nice coffee for people that aren’t overly fussy about excellent coffee

  25. N*** 5/5 26 August 2026 Amazon Nordic Grey

    This is lovely, well worth the money & very easy to use. A coffee lovers dream. Mine gets a lot of use & works well with a ground expresso from a local tea & coffee merchants.

How we evaluate, and the limits

Technical values are as stated by the manufacturer or store; user experiences are summarised from the reviews read and do not apply to every unit. We do not test products ourselves.
