We had an Ariete before, much better but suddenly after two years it broke down and after the good reviews we got this one. It doesn't compare in taste to the previous one nor in appearance. A small negative is that it has a very short cord, while on the positive side, the coffee stays warm for several hours.

Update after 10 months of use. The carafe started to leak and the coffee was spilling. I wouldn't buy it again

It was purchased for use at work. Daily use at least 3 times a day. Very good in everything.

Before this one, I had a coffee maker for 30€. Compared to this one, it definitely has a more sturdy construction, it makes coffee faster, the quality of my coffee seems the same, and it keeps the coffee warm for fewer hours. This one keeps it warm for about 4-5 hours, while the old one exceeded 6 hours. Also, I would like a slightly longer cord, it needs to be 20 inches away from the wall to be convenient.

In conclusion: it is a good coffee maker, but overpriced. I would not recommend it at this price, you can find equally good ones for 20€ less.

We have it for 3 months and it does everything it promises. It maintains the aroma of the coffee, it doesn't burn it, it shuts off by itself, it brews very quickly! However, I would expect the carafe to keep the coffee warm for a longer time. Now when I want to make a refill, I press the button again to heat up the coffee better.

3 months after purchase and with daily use, I can say that it is definitely better than the previous 2 I had. The coffee is made in no time, it retains all its flavors, and stays hot for at least 2-3 hours after the coffee maker is closed. I recommend it with closed eyes.

I bought it and I am completely satisfied. I have been drinking filter coffee for years and the coffee was very nice.
