This is the largest coffee machine in the Playgo range (article 3199). On top sits a clear hopper with brown plastic coffee beans, at the front a small window reading 'Latte', beside it three selection buttons with cup symbols, and further a lever, a steam wand and a drip tray with a cup on it.
The child picks a button, puts the cup under the spout and serves. That is the game from start to finish: the beans are plastic and no real coffee is made - it is about copying the ritual seen at home every morning.
The machine runs on 3 LR06 (AA) batteries. Dimensions 32 × 23.5 × 16.5 cm and a weight of 1.07 kg: this is substantial toy that deserves a fixed spot beside the play kitchen, not something that disappears into a toy box.
Its size and price make it more of a main present than an extra - for preschoolers who like to serve, take orders and supply everyone in the house with a cup.
