I have owned it for 2 years with good coffee quality and I am absolutely satisfied. 2 days before the warranty expired, it started leaking water simultaneously from the milk frother spout. I didn't manage to take it to the service center because of work. Now, apart from this problem with the milk frother, it continues to release steam when you turn the switch to stop the process and you have to wait about 10 seconds for it to stop releasing steam. In addition, now when making coffee, you have to press 3-4 times to get the amount of coffee it used to make. I tried to program it but it doesn't keep the settings. With these faults, I think it will need a board replacement, so it's probably better to go for a new purchase.

It makes very good espresso, with rich crema. It heats up quite quickly and the noise it makes is tolerable.

Makes very good coffee. However, after 1 month, it first showed issues with its hydraulics, got fixed, and then had the same issue again 1 year and a bit later. I found another better and more economical coffee maker.

Very good machine for its price. I made the usual modifications to the group and the coffee basket (I converted it from pressurized to unpressurized) and I drink a very decent coffee. You also need to have the desire to use it. The machine is great and also has spare parts available.

Unfortunately, it was defective from the factory... I couldn't make frothy milk... I will return after the return for inspection...

For home use, it is amazing! After a year, it works perfectly with daily use of 4-5 coffees.

I've had it for about a month. Absolutely satisfied so far!! No problems!
I only make freddo espresso so I can't evaluate the steam wand.
The coffee I make seems extremely competitive with most out there. Very good crema.

The pressure I apply when tamping is about 10-15 kilos.
You try this 1-2 times on a scale and you learn it.
For freddo, I obviously use the large portafilter and put in 2 doses. (I remove the excess with my finger from the top to make it exactly 2 doses).

So far, I've used 2 Lavazza. (Crema E Gusto Classico and Qualita Rossa) I liked both.

I hope I helped.

Average for its price. You have to go for a compact portable one. It took me many cups of coffee to adjust the sink to an acceptable level.
It has a permanent water leak on the countertop.
From what I hear, Dedica owners have similar issues, so they are probably overrated as well

It may be one of the best value for money home coffee machines. It doesn't produce frothy milk, but I'm not really interested in that because I don't drink cappuccinos. It makes good foam and the coffee is at a very good level, especially if you use beans and not pre-ground. As others have mentioned, it does make noise, but because I have had other coffee machines that were also 15 bars, I can't say that the noise is too loud. There are other machines that do sound like steam engines. Finally, for the 165€ that I bought it for, I can say that it is a very good coffee machine for home use

I have had it for quite some time, I bought it shortly after it came out. I can say that I am very satisfied, it makes very good coffee!!! For me, who wanted to have regular coffee and not capsules, it is the best purchase I have made! Daily use, easy cleaning, good froth for those who want cappuccino. I definitely recommend buying a shaker for making freddo espresso.. enjoy!

Being very satisfied with a previous Krups purchase that was worth the money (€150 in 2004) and lasted for many years, I decided to trust the same brand again, as well as the comments of those who own it. It cost me €156 including shipping from a store in Poland and I expected it to arrive in about 15 days. I like its construction and that it is semi-automatic. It makes good coffee, a very nice froth, but I haven't tried the nozzle yet. Overall, I believe I made a good purchase.

Flawless coffee maker, makes excellent coffee comparable to what we get in cafes, maybe even better, and very good frothed milk using full-fat milk. Takes up very little space, is easy to use, and heats up quickly.

I have only had it for 2 weeks, but I am very satisfied. I particularly liked the ability to adjust the amount of coffee for single and double shots. The coffee is very good, with excellent froth.

I only use it for espresso with Lavazza capsules, and I am completely satisfied with the quality, crema, and ease of use. I would give it 5 stars if I wasn't a bit cautious about the build quality. However, I have only had it for a month, so time will tell...

In general, I have been satisfied with this specific coffee maker. It is a good coffee maker for its cost. The coffee comes out very good when the variety of coffee is good. The only thing I have noticed is that after I make frothed milk, I have to close it and open it again to make coffee. Otherwise, it shows red indicators that something is wrong.

I upgraded to this from another well-known budget coffee maker. There is a big difference in the taste of the coffee, of course with the same blends! Sturdy, high-quality construction. Slim, takes significantly less space than the previous one. From moderate to quiet noise, it sounds like a small Nespresso coffee maker. The coffee holder is very high quality, heavy, and it impressed me tremendously compared to the old one, which simply had a small hole like a pin's tip for the filtered coffee to pass through! The automatic function is a great convenience, you press the button and the coffee is ready!
