Swan Retro / K Mart Anko Espresso Machine Review.

I was doing some research for a new blog post recently, which included some Google Trends research, and I noticed that all of a sudden there was a "breakout" in searches for an espresso machine called the K Mart Anko.

So I did a bit of research and found that this is the same machine that sells in the UK under the name of the Swan Retro espresso machine. I then remembered that James Hoffman had included this video in his under £100 espresso machine review - so I re-watched that video, and what he said about it, prompted me to buy one & try it. This video is the result of that.
