Buying it is a no-brainer, I highly recommend it. Even if you spend double the money, or even triple for another one, you won't find such a good, flavorful coffee with a wonderful and perfect crust on top. Just like in almost no take-away shop that supposedly has professional equipment. Perfect operation, quality construction, the coffee is made quickly. I only have the impression that this steam wand doesn't make good froth, but that's something we don't care about
Well, I have had this one for 2 and a half years and it makes quite good coffee. I had bought it before, in 2013 if I'm not mistaken, and it still exists and makes the same coffee. The materials of the new one are of course cheaper than those of the old one. Up to 55 euros, it is definitely worth it
Honest machine for coffee, noisy yes, but it does its job beautifully. A beast in its use... it doesn't break, it doesn't get damaged (4 espressos minimum daily for almost a year now)
Frothy milk???
Forget it, it requires patience and persistence to achieve it
In the 10 years I've had it, it just broke down. The compressor no longer works properly, resulting in it being unable to make coffee at all. Regarding coffee quality, I agree with the previous comment. But of course, I won't buy it again as long as it has this price. Up to €30-35 it's value for money, but beyond that, it's better to look for something better.
Like with the immediately previous comments in the series, I also have this specific coffee maker, for about 10 years. Just today, I noticed that it is leaking water from somewhere when I activate it with or without the filter holder, to run water. The damage, considering its age and daily coffee making, is acceptable. However, I give it three stars because when I bought it, I bought it for 23 euros and the quality/price ratio was good. Today, I see that its price has almost tripled. NO. Although I need a new coffee maker (due to the mentioned damage), there is NO WAY I will choose it. The coffee it makes is good, I would say, but it fails to deliver the BODY (density) of the coffee in any case. It produces a relatively satisfactory taste of the coffee you choose with a satisfactory foam, but it completely lacks in the body of the coffee. You have a slight feeling that you are drinking espresso in the fluidity of filter coffee. This is the complete picture of this specific machine, at 23 euros it was a sufficiently good and fair choice, but at its current price, NO.., not at all. I am already looking for another device.
I bought it in 2014. It has made countless espressos at home for 10 years, and I am absolutely satisfied. Today, 10 years later, the metal case in which the coffee goes broke. It's a shame.
It makes good coffee with plenty of froth... I couldn't make frothy milk with the nozzle, it waters down too much... but that doesn't bother me because I bought a device for frothy milk. Also, one downside it has, and that's why I gave it 4 stars, is that it doesn't stop automatically... you have to be on top of it because it quickly pours out the coffee and if you look away for a moment, it has poured out triple the amount of coffee, which is basically water. So you have to be on top of it to stop it in time. And if you don't know exactly the amount of coffee, you will waste quite a few until you get it right.... update After a few days, it started leaking water from the handle and the coffee was terrible, very watery... I returned it and I am waiting for a response on what will happen....
I have had this particular machine for 2 years now and I am completely satisfied. Its use is daily, making 2 to 3 coffees. The build quality is very good, it is easy to clean, it just takes a little time to learn when to stop the coffee extraction.
7 years and still works perfectly. I don't have experience with more expensive models to compare, but it's definitely worth it. Of course, it can't be compared to coffee from a café.
I have this specific espresso machine for 2 years (purchased for 39 € on sale) and we use it on average 4 times a day. I didn't expect such good performance for such a low price! Of course, it's not automatic, so it requires a little bit of adjustment and you have to be present while making the coffee, to open and close the flow, etc. However, the coffee that comes out is tasty with a good crema and at the right temperature. Personally, I don't use a specific brand of espresso, but I noticed that Lavazza espresso was maybe better compared to other brands.
Also, the build quality is satisfactory. Initially, I was afraid that it would break quickly since many parts of it are plastic, however, after two years of daily use, averaging 4 cups of coffee per day, and without any special maintenance, it hasn't had the slightest problem.
On the negative side, the frothing nozzle is practically useless. I have never been able to make frothed milk no matter how much I experimented. Also, it is obvious that for a demanding coffee lover, it is probably too simple.
Overall, it is a decent, value-for-money choice for satisfactory coffee if you have a little time to make it and not too high expectations.
Five stars because for the price it is the best. The espresso coffee is like from a café depending on the variety and the dose that someone puts. For three weeks now, two to four coffees a day, it works perfectly. Let's not expect good frothy milk as other reviews have written.
Well... I bought it for 34€ when I was a student ten years ago. Yes, ten years ago. I didn't use it and the ten years I have it... It has clearly made its money back. It never broke. It still makes coffee. I don't like its plastic parts, I never liked them. I believe that coffee should come out clearly from something metallic and not plastic for health reasons, but that's just my opinion. I had so much, I gave so much back then. It's funny, you buy something and it stays with you for so long and you feel nostalgic. Lavazza and Illy coffee, only ready-roasted, I used to buy. If you take care of it, it won't suffer. It's well made despite the plastic parts. Yes, it's a value for money. Think about it, even today I can sell it used for 20€ with its current price. It was like an investment, as if I was buying gold and it gained value and didn't lose. Obviously, I'm not going to just give it away, I'll just put it into operation to make a coffee and reminisce about my student years again.
I have been very satisfied with the coffee it makes!! I was impressed from the very first moment..! 7 months later and I still drink the same high-quality coffee..! The only downside is that the nozzle doesn't have much pressure to make frothed milk... personally, this doesn't bother me because I don't drink cappuccino..
I have had it for 1 year and it works great, but I don't use it at all during the summer because I am away due to work. So it has been in use for a total of 7 months. As a coffee maker, it is good and makes good coffee. And it heats up very quickly. However, frothing milk takes time and requires patience. It is all made of plastic, and I would say it might be a bit expensive. I bought it for €49.9 in November 2020
Personally, I have this humble espresso machine (for home use), if I remember correctly, since 2013. Its use is mainly for making espresso and Americano. Having tried various coffee qualities, I can say that it always makes GOOD coffee! (I have settled on my preferred blend) The flow of extraction was and still is very good! With 4-5 attempts for hot frothed milk, I can say that I am satisfied with its nozzle. Personally, I recommend it and consider it a value for money choice!!!!
In my humble opinion, this machine is one of the best on the market despite its low price, and yes, the coffee with the right selection is almost always better than what you get outside. It was a gift to me, and as a user of a Delonghi EC152, I can say that it is on par with the quality and materials as well as the coffee it makes. Generally, I look into this topic because I don’t want to drink bad coffee since achieving a good result with espresso is not always easy, unlike with frappé or instant coffee. The machine looks and feels more high-quality than in the photo, heats up relatively quickly, and pours quite well, meaning the water exits like rain, soaking the coffee at all points of the group and not just in one spot like some others. The pouring should be done in about 23-25 to 30 seconds depending on the grind level and for a maximum quantity of 60ml. The Arielli KM-501B is a click better; I have read a review on a foreign site, of course, the brand was different, but the body and all the plastics were identical, and the article was about a machine worth under 100 dollars that makes "professional" coffee. One small issue with this coffee maker is that sometimes the coffee at the end of the pour has a slightly lighter color on the crema than it should have, which I attribute to the quality of the coffee and that the pre-ground coffee I buy has somewhat lost its freshness over the days. Surely with a grinder, the results, as they say, will be even better. Comment update. Today, 25/8/24, the machine continues to work without any problems. I have gotten an Adler grinder and Hausbrandt Nonetti coffee as well as Murano in beans, and the result is amazing. Just be careful with the coffee because it oxidizes easily and loses its flavor. That is, whether beans or ground coffee, be careful not to leave the jar open for too long and keep it in the fridge in something airtight, like a baby milk container.
After three months of daily household use, it has started giving me trouble. It still makes coffee, but if you don't close it, the steam doesn't stop and it overflows from the handle on the second coffee.
I have to say that the Freddo Espresso is okay, it just leaves a bitterness, while before each use, I let the pump operate and the water run to remove any residue.
It is drinkable, but in no way compares to coffee from a professional machine. What is certain is that I will invest in something of higher quality later on, but for now, it does the job.
Out of the above coffees, the funny thing is that the Coffee Island Master Blend (€7 per 250g) was the most enjoyable to drink.
Update 15/11/21: After thorough cleaning (there is a video on YouTube), it has improved in terms of bitterness, but it cannot capture the taste of each variety as well, resulting in all the coffees having more or less the same flavor. So, for better results, I will invest in something better later on. But still, for €40, it is very honest.
For the money, it's fine. I have 2, one is 3 years old and the other is 4 years old and they haven't had any issues at all. I only use it for espresso, so I don't have an opinion on the nozzle.
Now, don't expect anything amazing in terms of quality. It makes a decent coffee to drink in the morning.
As for coffee (I drink it plain) from the market, the only one we found is Jacobs 100% arabica, with a ratio of 13g of coffee, 26 seconds of extraction, and 60ml of final drink. Lavazza and Dimello, whatever I tried, turned out awful.
I also tried 2 single-origin coffees, but I couldn't distinguish any aromas or any significant difference in taste (which is logical since I didn't expect anything more for this price).
For starters, it's fine, but if someone wants to get more involved and can afford it, they should choose a Gaggia or Lelit (and buy a good grinder, of course, around €150+). On the other hand, if someone is lazy but wants better coffee, they should choose an automatic machine like the Delonghi Magnifica, with which they will get better coffee than with Arielli, but that's about it.
It is a personal amateur machine. It is just what you need to drink your morning espresso when you wake up. Beyond that, I repeat, it is personal. It does not make a second coffee in the capsules as it heats up and splatters right and left, it definitely needs about 5 minutes to calm down. I think it is a good choice for 40-50€. If you have higher demands, the price goes up.
I recently purchased it and I am very satisfied with its performance. It is worth its money and more. It produces high-quality coffee. I prefer to remove the plastic cap from the nozzle when making frothed milk because it becomes creamier that way. I highly recommend it without hesitation!
For its price, it is very good. Out of all the coffee makers I have bought, it makes the best foam. I haven't tried the nozzle at all, but the only negative thing I can find is the cheap construction of the buttons, which I think will be the first to break. But I definitely recommend it
Economical and good machine. The first coffee comes out great (although I would like it to make a double shot, but okay), but when you try to make a second one, it comes out burnt. The steam wand for frothing milk is powerful and makes good froth with both regular and plant-based milk. It definitely deserves its price, I've had it for about 2 years with almost daily use, making 2 coffees a day, and it works perfectly fine
Well, cheap purchase for 40 euros about a year ago, instructions for using the plate, mediocre quality, heats up quickly, unacceptable nozzle and ultimately the essence... I tried several coffees, I relatively like lazazza oro but let's not lie, the machine can only do so much... The same coffee in my friend's Krups machine is amazing, here it's mediocre... Not to mention that it doesn't even make a decent cappuccino with the nozzle that happened to fall into the milk while screaming... I'm going for a replacement, this one is going to the village as a hand-me-down...
I have had it for almost a year and since I got it, I use it daily. It has not shown any flaws whatsoever and it is easy to use.
The only problem I face is that sometimes, even though it has heated up well and I have put water to run, it doesn't make good foam.
The nozzle is unacceptable if you intend to make cappuccino, you definitely need a milk frother machine...
The best value for money. I have bought 3 of these, one for my parents, one for myself, and one for a friend of mine. Personally, I have had it for a year and it is the best, I enjoy my daily coffee.
