Description
Bring coffee-shop style drinks into your kitchen with the Russell Hobbs Café Genie 28760 Espresso Machine. Designed for flexibility and convenience, the Café Genie lets you prepare coffee using either your favourite ground coffee or compatible Nespresso Original capsules, so you aren't tied to just one brewing method.
An automatic milk steaming and frothing system makes it easy to prepare creamy cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites and other milk-based coffees, while powerful 20-bar pressure helps deliver rich espresso-style results.
Finished in a contemporary matte stone colour with satin gold accents, the Café Genie also makes an attractive addition to the kitchen worktop.
Ground Coffee or Capsules
One of the biggest advantages of the Café Genie is that you don't have to choose between a traditional espresso machine and the convenience of capsules.
You can prepare coffee using loose ground coffee when you want a more traditional barista-style experience or use compatible Nespresso Original capsules when speed and convenience are the priority.
That flexibility also means different members of the household can prepare coffee in the way they prefer.
Automatic Milk Steaming & Frothing
Love cappuccinos and lattes but don't want to learn how to manually steam milk?
The Café Genie features automatic milk steaming and frothing, allowing the machine to prepare the milk for you at the touch of a button.
The removable milk tank can also be stored in the fridge between uses, so you don't need to empty and refill it every time you make a coffee.
Make Your Favourite Coffee at Home
The combination of espresso brewing and automatic milk preparation allows you to create a variety of drinks, including:
- Espresso
- Cappuccino
- Latte
- Flat white
- Cortado
- Other black and milk-based coffees
Whether you prefer a simple morning espresso or a creamy café-style drink, the Café Genie gives you plenty of choice from one machine.
Powerful 20-Bar Pressure
The Café Genie uses a 20-bar pressure pump to prepare espresso-style coffee.
High-pressure extraction helps draw flavour from your chosen ground coffee or compatible capsule, providing the concentrated coffee base required for both black and milk-based drinks.
Touch Controls
The Café Genie features a sleek touch-control interface, keeping operation straightforward while contributing to the machine's contemporary appearance.
You can set your preferences and the machine can remember them, helping you prepare your preferred coffee consistently without having to configure everything from scratch each time.
1.5L Removable Water Tank
A generous 1.5-litre water tank means you can prepare multiple drinks before needing to refill the machine.
The tank is removable too, making it easier to fill directly from the tap and clean when required.
Cup Warming Area
The top of the Café Genie can be used to warm your coffee cup before brewing.
Pre-warming helps prevent a cold cup from immediately drawing heat away from freshly prepared coffee — a small touch that contributes to the overall café-style experience.
Easy to Clean
The Café Genie features a removable drip tray, making everyday cleaning and maintenance easier.
The removable milk tank and water reservoir also make the parts you're regularly filling and handling more accessible.
Contemporary Stone & Gold Design
This is also a coffee machine designed to be seen.
The matte stone finish and satin gold accents give the Café Genie a distinctive premium appearance that stands apart from conventional black or stainless-steel coffee machines.

Who Is the Café Genie Best For?
The Russell Hobbs Café Genie is particularly appealing if you want proper choice in how you make coffee at home.
Rather than committing exclusively to capsules or learning to operate a completely manual espresso machine, you can use ground coffee when you want greater control and compatible Nespresso Original capsules when you want convenience.
Automatic milk steaming and frothing also makes it a strong choice for anyone who loves cappuccinos, lattes and flat whites but doesn't want to manually texture milk with a steam wand every morning.
Why Choose the Russell Hobbs Café Genie?
The biggest advantage of the Café Genie is its combination of flexibility and automation.
You get the choice of ground coffee or compatible capsules, 20-bar pressure, automatic milk preparation, touch controls and a generous 1.5L water tank in one stylish machine.
For someone who wants to move beyond a basic capsule machine without turning coffee-making into a complicated hobby, the Café Genie offers a very appealing middle ground.
