I have had the machine for about a month and I use it daily for 2 coffees. I buy coffee from a local store and it grinds it at 3.1. The foam it creates is amazing. Also, the espresso comes out exactly as I would like. However, if someone expects to drink the same coffee as outside, I would suggest using a scale. The large filter holds 12g. The coffee outside is around 16 to 18g per espresso. Personally, I would buy it again. I don't have an answer regarding cleaning, but the cleaning I do daily is similar to what is done with the group in coffee shops. The 90€ it costs are absolutely worth it! Plus, the positive thing is that you can also use capsules! Personally, I don't achieve 100% success with the frother, but with a good release, you will achieve a medium to good result. On the other hand, if you want something better, you can buy a milk frother without any hassle!

I am writing this comment for that student who is saving money and wants to buy a nice coffee maker to make coffee at home and save money. Like me, that is.
90+ euros is a lot, it's not a small amount. And together with the shipping, this coffee maker cost around 100 euros. Which is a lot again. You would expect with this money to have a good coffee maker, but to be honest, as soon as I opened it and saw its cheap plastic construction, I was disappointed. I was trying to convince myself that it makes good coffee and good froth, but in reality, the coffee is mediocre and the froth is weak. It's not creamy. The good thing about it is that it works with both capsules and ground coffee. Its other good thing is that it's green.
I had managed to accept the idea that I would be drinking mediocre coffee from now on until it started leaking water from the rod while I was making just a simple coffee. It would drip and drip water on its own without any reason. Without any negligence on my part, something that I did that was not in accordance with its instructions. Then the other thing started. The rod with the frother started releasing steam on its own, even if I closed it with the indicator at 0, even if I turned off the coffee maker or unplugged it, it would still release steam to the point where I thought it would explode. As I said, I take care of the machine and ensure its proper functioning because simply I can't afford to break it and have to buy another one. I declare deeply disappointed that I trusted this company. The warranty states that I will not be compensated for the machine, as if they knew from the beginning what I would go through at some point. All of this in the smallest letters in the world. That's it.

  Nice coffee, but it's not for making freddo! After a while, the plastic creaks as you make coffee.

  It is a beautiful machine to have in your kitchen. The cream on the coffee is amazing, and it also makes very good frothy milk! This is true for the strange plastic smell during the first use, even though I let the entire water tank empty. However, after some time, it went away! I recommend it, and I really like the attachment for ready-made Nespresso coffee capsules

  I am very satisfied. I have had it for a month. For its price (99 euros), it is definitely worth it. I enjoy drinking its coffee. I only use bottled water because of the other comments I had read. I recommend it

  Owner for a week, on the first day I rinsed it as the instructions say and made the first coffee and I was amazed by the foam, I thought it was crazy, very nice. The next day, however, the entire taste of the coffee was covered by a plastic smell. I rinsed it again, but after a few hours the smell came back. I eventually discovered that the rubber parts in the valves and the tank and the base of the tank and the group were smelling. I decided to wash it with hot water and vinegar before returning it, and fortunately, the smell went away and I enjoy a great coffee. For the money, it's honest; it just shouldn't have such rubber parts. As a construction, it's okay, it's beautiful, it makes good coffee. I haven't tried capsules and froth milk yet, and in terms of noise, it's normal, but anyway, you only hear it for a maximum of 30 seconds. It's definitely quieter than the previous one I had.

  I received it yesterday. Before I made coffee, I filled the water tank to let it run and rinse so that the first coffee wouldn't have a smell, perhaps from the plastics or metals due to being new. After reading many reviews on various espresso machines, both expensive and cheap, I concluded that you have to be lucky with the machine you receive so that it doesn't turn out to be a defective unit. I also searched through a ton of coffee brands, and there too, one wrote "giouvetsi," another "kokoretsi." In the end, I realized that it’s a personal matter of what you really like and what suits your taste, and not a matter of coffee. Now, the machine I got yesterday produced satisfactory coffee with its crema; it doesn't differ from the coffee sold in cafes. Whether it will last or not also depends on how you handle a tool; if you are clumsy and make movements as if you are breaking concrete with a compressor, it definitely won't last long. If you are careful with your movements and clean it every time, I believe it will last like others. I will come back later.

  I bought it because it had very good reviews and it is very beautiful. However, my problem at first was that it smelled like plastic and the coffee couldn't be tasted, and I couldn't understand why. I was ready to return it until I entered a forum and read that it is due to the tap water in some areas, so I decided to try using bottled water and the problem was solved and the coffee is very tasty

  Beautiful and quite good machine, I use it daily, the only downside is the build quality, that's why 4 stars. The positives are that you can use ground coffee as well as capsules.

  It raises high pressure and is very beautiful, a decoration in the kitchen. The analog pressure gauge (clock) in front is a great help.

  The build quality is OK, the water tank seems to be made of relatively cheap plastic but after 2 months of use it is holding up without any issues. The main problem I see is the steam boiler capacity: you can't even get steam to make a cappuccino before the pressure drops, and the steam wand doesn't help much for good frothy milk.

  Also, the Nespresso capsule attachment works, but it is practically useless: unlike Nespresso machines, it gives high pressure very abruptly and the coffee comes out watery from the capsule.

  Would I buy it again? Yes, for its price it is honest and it makes you happy to see it every day. But I would buy it with open eyes, knowing all the above.

  It makes a tremendous noise and it made it difficult for me to froth the milk even though I am experienced, but in the end I found it... tasty coffee with good foam! If it overheats, it pops the lid, so first coffee and then milk! To avoid a plastic taste at the beginning, it is good to release the nozzle pressure and let some water out, and then it's perfect! However, it is very good! It is worth the money!

  It's worth its money! It takes a little trial and error to start achieving the coffee you want. Additionally, it can also take capsules. An ideal choice for someone who wants to make their own coffee at home. It is recommended to purchase a Tamper, as the one included is not the best.

  If you ignore the noise it makes when pumping water, it is otherwise very good and I did not expect it, that's the truth. And because I see some people saying that the coffee tastes like plastic, if you follow the instructions correctly for the process before the first use, in order to warm up and "season" the plastics, rubber, etc. for the first time, then the coffee comes out very nice, as well as the froth milk

  I have it for 1 month. It is an incredibly good coffee maker for its price!! It makes good coffee whether it is ground or capsule. I haven't tried frothed milk yet to give an opinion. I recommend it for anyone who wants a decent coffee from home. I am very satisfied.

  Good machine. Nice choice to also use capsules, but there is an issue there. The capsule holder is of mediocre quality and it makes inferior coffee compared to machines that exclusively use capsules. (not bad coffee, but definitely not on par with machines made specifically for this job)

  In terms of value for money, it is great

  Awesome espresso machine for its price! As an experienced barista, I have been saved! Perfect crema, creamy, and the froth comes out creamy!!! Of course, you need to know how to use the nozzle. I have made up to 10 coffees in a row without any problem. I highly recommend it! (I have had it for about 4 months)

  As an experienced in the field of coffee specifically, I have to say that I have been surprised by this frother. It is not even necessary to have experience with a professional machine, as the nozzle has a hole somewhere in the middle and it blows out more milk than it should. It requires closing with something in order to achieve the desired cream, a little practice, that is, and you won't need to buy coffee outside again

  As a coffee lover, I decided to order this specific espresso machine, having had a similar espresso machine from another brand in the past, I have to say that I have never encountered an espresso machine with a temperature gauge. This one shows the correct temperature of 90-95 degrees Celsius, resulting in a very good coffee. Additionally, it can accommodate both ground coffee and capsules, which has greatly facilitated my daily routine. Very satisfied!!

  Very good, beautiful, and quality coffee maker for its price. Its exterior parts are expectedly plastic but they are of good quality and quite sturdy, more so than other machines of similar price. The analog thermometer is another positive aspect at this price and it is both practical and makes it look more beautiful. It makes very good coffee with nice crema, quickly and more quietly than other machines. Among the very positive aspects is the fact that it is compatible with both Nespresso capsules and ground coffee, which is the main reason I bought it and it is the feature that pleasantly surprised me. I didn't know how well it would work but it is perfect and very smart and user-friendly. When using it with capsules, it is just as user-friendly as a Nespresso machine with even easier cleaning. But it also has all the features of a traditional machine and it can make milk froth, making the coffee much better and allowing you to experiment and learn - ideal for beginners. There are certainly better machines out there but they are much more expensive and if you don't have experience, you won't use them to their full potential. When you're in a hurry, you use capsules, when you have time, you use ground coffee and that's how one machine does it all! It exceeded my expectations, I would buy it again!

  Having already an automatic machine that works with capsules, I wanted to add another one next to it! Fast, easy to use, and the best thing is that if you run out of ground coffee, it also has an attachment that takes Nespresso capsules! I have had it for 5 days already and I am satisfied. I will come back again in the future!
