I bought it two months ago and I drink two or more coffees a day. I had one before but it was only a capsule machine. Unfortunately, it arrived with an opened package, but since it came late and I had to leave, I didn't send it back. The first week I used it, it broke. The steam nozzle stopped producing steam and water started coming out from the top of the machine. I opened it and the tube that carries water from the pump to the heater that creates the steam had simply come off. I put it back.... the first time with the connection it had..... the second time with tie wraps..... the third time with super glue.... the fourth time with glue and wire and.... then I stopped drinking cappuccino and I calmed down. It easily makes espresso with both capsules and ground coffee. It is noisy but that's expected due to the pump. The coffee is made in seconds and it's very good. It is expensive for what it offers because with two more high-pressure tubes, all the problems would be solved. It has 20 bar pressure at 1450 watts, which is a lot of energy for its price. It is not a good purchase and I do not recommend it.
