Two years later and with daily use we are completely satisfied with this purchase.
Positive
- good pressure
- very satisfactory milk froth (with patience, of course)
Negative
- it needs slightly larger coffee grounds because otherwise the holes get clogged.
- We ALWAYS use bottled water so it doesn’t build up limescale, and so far we haven’t had any problem (the extra cost is a negative point)

I have bought two for different houses, I have had them for over 4 years now and nothing has broken down. And they also make perfect coffee.

The only thing that "stands out" is that it makes coffee very quickly due to the high pressure. Keep that in mind! (This might actually be an advantage for some.)
Also well-made, with no creaking.
I don't know why someone would pay more, unless it's to get an automatic one.

Good for its price, I've had it for a year and it works perfectly. It does make coffee a bit quickly, but it doesn't taste bad nor does it come out watery. Personally, I feel that with finely ground coffee it comes out better, for example I prefer illy, while Mr Rose not so much

black dog, doesn't understand anything, good coffee, but with very fine grinding it dies so put the coffee a bit more coarsely ground

4 years and counting, dog!
Just like all devices, it needs cleaning with white vinegar for the limescale, and it's OK!

I bought it in April and yesterday I turned on the button to heat it up and it doesn't heat up. The light doesn't turn green so I can make coffee... I'm sorry, my previous one lasted 12 years and I never had any problem

Good and reliable product. This is the second time I have bought it. Decent performance, worth its money

It hasn't even been a month yet, I will come back with a long-term review...

The first impressions are very good (used only for espresso, not the steamer, I can't comment on that).

Reasonable noise, good components, and at a very fair purchase cost (~85€). I believe the warranty extension provided by Skroutz is also worth it. It is also quite compact for its category in terms of size, and the red touch adds to the kitchen counter (personally, I would have preferred it to be bolder/more colorful, but it's a nice "splash" among the usual boring colors of household appliances)

I have had it since 01/10/20 at €68.95.
Daily use with 1-2 coffees for sure. Only espresso though.
It still holds up.
I clean it with vinegar, one or two passes, and then plenty of water. I don't know if this is the correct/best way. But it gets the job done. I clean it when I feel that the coffee tastes more bitter than expected

Four of us at my work each put in €20 and bought it about 6 years ago... we each make 2 coffees every day... with minimal to no maintenance. It hasn't lost any performance or taste... excellent purchase!

If you find it for 80 euros or less, it is a very good choice. The amount of coffee is controlled manually and personally I prefer it that way. It needs cleaning after each use like all machines of this type. Ideally, let water run without coffee before and after each espresso preparation. For an ideal espresso, let it heat up well, buy coffee ground at 1.8, and use a non-pressurized basket (portafilter basket non-pressurized 51mm). Now, how long it will last remains to be seen, I hope long enough in my hands but probably not as long as an old Krups type 965 which still works perfectly for me but you can't find spare parts.

Purchase was made on 26/5/2021 with around 3 coffees per day and it works perfectly! One of the best purchases I have made.

I also got fooled by the comments, it's not worth it at all because it brews the coffee way too quickly and with too much force, basically it's useless because the coffee comes out watery, no matter how much ground coffee you load into the press, it still brews it too strongly

It deserves 5 stars for the quality and price! value for money for sure! I've had it for a month and I am very satisfied! a great coffee, good crema!!! the latch requires a bit of force to snap, but okay!!!

Durable over time, good minced meat. After two years of daily use, simply excellent.
Negatives: not a good appearance

Since it was purchased in 2022, it still works perfectly like new! And we don't just make 1 coffee a day...

With moderate care (not as often as it should be cleaned), it continues to make a delightful coffee, almost with daily use. I have had it for 3-4 years. The only downside is that its ''table'' creaks with use due to shaking. Buy freely.

Although I am a beginner, with the guidance of friends, the coffee is just fine. Good value for money purchase. The coffee is much better than the watery stuff they serve you outside. So the payback happens in two months at most

It makes good coffee with crema when it comes to hot beverages. Now for freddo etc., it depends on everyone's preferences for the blend and the overflow. With the dimello espresso, the foam becomes wonderful and in terms of taste, I believe it reaches a satisfactory level. In terms of build quality, I wouldn't say it makes much noise, but after 1.5 years of daily use, it creaks slightly when moving the small cup a little. In conclusion, however, it's a very good choice for this price range.

Very worth it, I have had this coffee maker for almost 2 years. It makes very good coffee, it was cheap when I bought it and it really is worth the money. I removed the plastic part from the steam wand because I noticed it works much better without it. What I do as an extra step to get better froth is to let the steam wand run a little by itself at the beginning. I put water in a small pot and place the steam wand inside to heat it up well. From there on, I am very satisfied. I highly recommend it!!!

The problem is that I had a 15bar machine and the coffee that comes out is not the right cut for it, I believe. It shoots out the coffee in fractions of a second, so I have concluded that the ready-made coffees at the supermarket are not for that many bars...
It heats up very quickly. It is very small and light. Also, it doesn't dispense hot water from the nozzle but from the center of the filter. For example, if you want to make tea... when you first get it, the button requires quite a bit of force. It takes a long time before it loosens up to click comfortably. The service at the Gruppe call center is impeccable. The technician called me immediately because I thought the plastic smelled. He assured me that the water tank is made of bone and he was right.

For a beginner with a little experimentation, it will make great coffee! For its price, the machine is very good!

After a year of use, it started acting crazy. Sometimes it makes coffee and sometimes it doesn't. Regarding the inox it mentions, the tool where you put the coffee has rusted internally and cannot be cleaned at all.

Amazing tool, I have had it for a few days and my impressions of the coffee quality are excellent... The rich crema and the velvety taste of the coffee made with ready-made commercial espresso and without any special preparation shattered any comparison... I will make a cautious critique only on the relatively light construction, as I do not know its durability over time, but with the price it is sold at, it makes it the absolute best value..!

After 4 years and 4-5 coffees every week (winter, summer) it's great. It needs cleaning but it's very durable.

I have bought 2 about 5 years ago when they were much cheaper.. Still working, making for my taste perfec coffee. Love them!

Owner of the machine for about 4 years now. Buy it without hesitation. Easy to use and quality coffee maker. Easy to clean.

Convenient handle with a good lid closure to hold the filter when emptying the coffee after use is very useful. At first, I considered it unnecessary, but it quickly heats up the water and the pressure in both the press and the espresso is tolerable. It is descent for the price, don't expect miracles. Buy it if you want to start saving money by reducing takeout and making your own coffee at home. It will bring you huge long-term savings. I highly recommend it for beginners, being someone in the coffee field
