Initially, the nozzle broke within a few months. It was under warranty, so they gave me another one. As soon as the warranty expired, it broke completely and doesn't dispense water. And this with the use of 4 coffees a week. Disappointment. The two stars are for the design, and that's generous.

I have had it for 5 years, with minimal cleaning and maintenance, and not only is it worth the money, but it makes excellent coffee and honest frothy milk!

A friend bought it, and I took the effort to evaluate it. It has a boiler and not a thermoblock, which is a positive aspect. Also, the part that someone called a frother (the pressurized basket, I assume) is removable, which is also a positive. If the plastic valve I saw in some photos is for pressure adjustment, set it to 10.5 bar if you're interested. For the correct temperature, good preheating should initially be done, and if you still can't get coffee with a stable temperature, then you need a PID thermostat. Also, buy a good grinder to grind the coffee to the right coarseness to get crema, and then the coffee will be very good. Otherwise, Gaggia Classic, Lelit, etc

I have had it since 2018 and it has made hundreds of coffees. For home use, it is a fairly decent choice. The quality of the coffee and the grinding play a big role in the result. With a good blend and not overextraction, the quality is good, and the frother is okay. I haven't used the frother.
External cleaning is quite easy. Internally, every 6 months with anticalc liquid and you're okay. If you neglect it, the boiler accumulates quite a bit of limescale and it requires some effort - not the easiest thing, but definitely doable.
It has definitely satisfied me.

I have been using it for about five years.
It should not get too hot, around the middle and a little before 90 to 100 degrees, if it goes up it should cool down.
Poor quality plastics.

Unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. Firstly, it doesn't produce any foam at all. It also burns the coffee and loses its aroma. Even with expensive coffee, it makes it taste like diluted French coffee.

From the beginning, the performance was disappointing. After minimal use (at most, I made 30 cups of the quality I mentioned above), it stopped dispensing water.

However, to be honest, it has a nice appearance and everyone admires it. So, you can get it for the aesthetics and have a Krups machine in the background to actually enjoy your coffee.

Easy to use, cleans extremely easily, but I was not very satisfied with the coffee it produces. After 4 years and two coffees a day, it stopped producing water and only the nozzle works.

After 3 to 4 years of use, it does not release water from the extraction but only from the nozzle. Because of this, it throws away all the water below... With the 150 euros I bought it for, I expected it to have greater durability over time.

For this money, you clearly find superior quality. The portafilter is cheap and difficult to use, and the plastic is of poor quality

The comments I read about the machine vary, however, I decided to take the risk and form my own opinion. Personally, I am satisfied with both the construction and the functions, as well as the coffee it makes, without being an expert on coffee. The design, especially, is worth everything!

It has no rating 0, so I give it 1 star. The machine is not worth it even as a gift, poor quality plastic, it sounds so loud that you think it's broken, the "coffee" is just water in black colors, really for throwing away, I made the mistake and believed the comments.. stay away!!!!

The only disadvantage I noticed is that when you remove and insert the group, because it is not heavy construction, you have to hold the machine parallel. However, I think it is ideal for home use. Its group is large enough to accommodate a tamper for pressing the coffee! Great and with fantastic design!!

I bought the machine yesterday and the filter container didn't fit properly. Today I have to take it for service... 130 euros for nothing. I didn't even have time to make coffee. I did the preliminary use with water for cleaning and it made a lot of noise. I am disappointed. It is beautiful, but I think with the same capabilities it provides, I could have bought another one.
