I bought 2 coffee makers from different stores with a few days difference, for 87 and 79 euros. One of them managed to make 6 coffees and had a problem with the opening (on). Specifically, it would immediately turn off. It should be noted that I received it on January 2nd and took it to the authorized repair shop on January 11th. I picked it up on January 13th, one of them said it was working fine and the other technician decided that it probably had water residue, which is not true. However, it brews good coffee, it is not noisy, I use illy coffee and I am satisfied, the only negative is that it doesn't make it as hot as I would like. I don't make frothy milk, so I don't have an opinion on that. The water tank is useful. In terms of plastic construction quality, I would expect something better.

Note: The second coffee maker has not been used yet, I hope it doesn't have any issues.

I will come back for further evaluation. After a few days of use, it had the same problem twice and then, after it worked and I made a coffee, it wouldn't turn off from the on/off switch. I contacted the service and they referred me to Delonghi Hellas. After a phone call, they told me to send it for replacement process to start.

I am coming back for the evaluation. In the end, it was not replaced by the company but repaired. Since then, it has not had any issues. The usage I have is one to two coffees maximum per day, the second coffee maker did not have any problems. Overall, I am satisfied so far

Purchased on 31/12/20 and in less than 2 months of use, problems started. Initially, in the process of making a classic espresso, the coffee stopped flowing without much pressure in the tamping, which surprised me considering that the machine theoretically has a high pressure rating. I cleaned the screens with a toothbrush in case they were clogged for some reason, but the problem was not resolved. Then, water started leaking from the plastic connections with the boiler, not from the grouphead. For a few days, I continued to use it despite the issue, with water spilling on the countertop, etc., until it reached the point where it even tripped the house's safety switch.

I contacted the store where I bought it and the company, since it is under a 2-year warranty, and they referred me to authorized service centers located in several places in Athens. I handed it over in February to be informed that the boiler needs to be replaced and under normal circumstances, the spare parts take 25 days to arrive, with an unknown completion date for the repair.

I am still waiting to receive it, so I paid 90 Euros for 1 month of machine usage, and currently, it has been over a month without any mention of replacement or anything similar from the company, which is completely unacceptable when it is clear that I purchased a machine with clear defects.

As for the coffee quality, do not expect much from a machine in this price range, as they are all more or less the same. It is fine for someone who just wants a cup of coffee to wake up and go to work, but not for someone who appreciates good coffee.
