Russell Hobbs Buckingham Espresso

Overview

The Russell Hobbs Buckingham Espresso is a no-frills budget semi-automatic designed for the UK supermarket and department store channel. The Buckingham name — evoking British heritage — positions it as a trustworthy household brand purchase rather than a specialty coffee product. The 15-bar pump and Panarello steam wand deliver basic espresso and cappuccino capability. A filter for ground coffee and ESE pods provides daily convenience. The compact design fits easily on crowded kitchen counters. The Buckingham serves its purpose as an introductory espresso machine for British households where a kettle and instant coffee have been the norm.

It features a thermoblock boiler system made of stainless steel. The vibratory pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction. It uses a Proprietary group head.

Priced at $100, the Russell Hobbs Buckingham Espresso is designed for budget-conscious beginners and casual coffee drinkers. As a semi-automatic machine, it gives you control over the brewing process while handling pressure and temperature automatically.

In terms of build quality, the Russell Hobbs Buckingham Espresso is a substantial machine, weighing in at 3.5 kg, manufactured in UK, drawing 1000W of power. With dimensions of 220 x 265 x 290 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1000 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
