Owner for almost 2 years. Purchased for 69€.
In simple and few words, since its use is daily and uninterrupted for 2 years. Honest construction, without the slightest problem.
It heats up in about a minute and is ready to use.
The preparation of espresso is done flawlessly, easily and quickly. The coffee extraction takes as long as you want.
Personally, after many tests (I am a fan of sports) and changes of coffee brands, it is clear and obvious that the perfect coffee is purely a matter of personal taste!
I kept the extraction at 20", perfect coffee. I changed the coffee brand, it was undrinkable. The golden ratio was found at 16" of extraction... I changed the coffee brand, the extraction at 22" produced excellent results.
There is no coffee maker at this price that you can simply press a button and drink a wonderful coffee, you need to experiment until you find the ideal result for you. Even the pressure you apply to the coffee in the handle before extraction plays a role... So if you blame: Coffee company, coffee bean type, coffee maker, coffee quantity, pressure of coffee in the handle, extraction time, etc., and how many more things, I think we are unfair to all coffee makers.
So don't think too much about the coffee maker, this one is more than good, especially for its price.
Think that you have to experiment... and sooner or later you will be rewarded.

I haven't made filter coffee, so I don't have an opinion.
The milk frother is so-so.
Espresso completely satisfied.
For those who "complain" about the water tank and the quantity, I have the solution: Open the lid and see how much water it has. Clever, right?

Excellent coffee and Value for money !!!
Given for a few days and with free espresso coffee, which made it even more economical!
Very good coffee quality, it is very strong, with great pressure and high temperature due to the 1850watt, factors that give good and aromatic coffee, you will understand it immediately, like professional quality and rich foam and satisfactory milk froth, but it needs improvement. The dose in the espresso accessory is double (full, good double dose!) The French one is also nice and I would say it does a very good job. Great convenience of French programming, you wake up in the morning and it smells like coffee and you have your coffee ready to drink! Overall, its construction, although it has a lot of plastic, is sturdy and has metal where it should (e.g. espresso accessory slot). It also has a metal base to warm your cups. It also has all the necessary items in the package, a dosing spoon, with a wide part on one side, to press the espresso well and additionally, a separate dosing spoon for the French one!
As for the water tank, you really can't see anything, but you can easily solve it with a ping pong ball or a cork or something else that is easily visible and floats.
Overall, a complete coffee maker, compact and of course at a very good price! It really deserves it!

Without any problem and with the same very good impressions. Flawless and wonderful coffee!

I would give it 5 stars, honestly, I bought it for 69 euros, it's great value for money. The negative thing I find, and I don't understand why they didn't have it made like this from the beginning, has to do with the water container. It has the same container for espresso and French press, but unfortunately it doesn't have an external indicator to show how much water is inside. Something very simple, it could have been foreseen. So basically, you don't know how much water is inside or how much water you put in... Anyway, I bought it because my French press coffee maker broke and I decided to try this one since it also makes espresso. I have to say that I tried espresso straight away out of curiosity. I was amazed by the result. Rich body and good crema. I bought it ground at 2.3, so I will try different grind sizes to see how it affects the crema. It's definitely worth the money. With the French press, okay, it could be better, but overall it's fast.
Update: It continues to surprise me with the espresso (I hope it holds up over time). I also tried different grind sizes (at 2.5 and 2.7) but ultimately went back to the original, which is finely ground. We make 2-3 espressos a day and classic French press in the morning. So far, no issues...
Update 2: The carafe broke during washing and the frame (where I bought it from, there is no spare part - same goes for the company). I will try to find an aftermarket replacement, but I think it's a shame that it doesn't have at least a spare part code for something that can statistically wear out or break...

I bought the coffee maker a few days ago and I am writing as detailed as possible for those who are looking for it.

Well, the espresso machine is very good. I haven't worked with a professional machine, but because I really like coffee in general, after several tests, you can find the proportions to make a very nice coffee. At first, it takes a little searching, but don't be disappointed. With a full spoon of coffee and good tamping and cleaning of residues, you will achieve it. It is definitely better than a capsule machine and as the days go by, I find it better and better. I leave it plugged in when I make coffee and unplug it in the afternoon so as not to constantly preheat, even though it says to unplug it each time from the socket.
As for the frother, because I hadn't made it before, it didn't work for me the first time, but from the tests I did with the attachment, I think it works fine with a little practice.

I haven't tried the French press yet, but I was impressed by the programmable feature, especially for winter. In the trial function, however, I saw that it is a fast machine.
As for the water tank, it is indeed not the classic user-friendly French press tank that shows you exactly how many cups you put in. The meter is inside the tank, so you can't easily see how much you put without good lighting. However, I use a water bottle and it works fine.

In summary, I didn't expect to find something so good for this price. If I was looking for a French press machine with programming and a separate espresso machine, I would definitely have to pay double. The machine has pleasantly surprised me so far. It is not professional, it definitely has flaws, but it is definitely value for money.

It makes nice and fast filter coffee.
Espresso also has a very nice taste.
The construction materials seem fine. I don't know about durability because I haven't had it for long.

But it loses a lot for two reasons:
1. You literally need a flashlight to see how much water you will put.
2. In espresso and steam, it quickly loses pressure. For lungo, you need to stop the flow and wait for it to heat up again.

UPDATE
After a considerable amount of time using it, the coffee maker does indeed make good coffee. For lungo, everything is fine, it produces a great hot coffee with crema and all. But I add another problem. In the filter, the heating element that warms up the coffee turns off very quickly. If you press the button again, the coffee maker goes into coffee production mode. Or if you have made filter coffee and someone in the group wants espresso, you have to close the filter and, of course, the eye that keeps it warm. It definitely has its little issues but it is also much more economical than similar ones. Personally, I would reconsider buying separate machines

I bought this machine 2 years ago for 55 euros on sale, and for the money I paid, I can say that it is quite good for home coffee.
Recently, I started using the filter coffee function and I consider it decent. The coffee runs quickly and it has a heated base to keep it warm. Cleaning the container is very easy.
Now let's talk about espresso.
Here I have a little issue. After trying various standardized coffee brands and coffee shop blends, I can't see a significant difference in the taste compared to other home machines I have tried.
The frothed milk is also a problem, but with patience, something can be done.
Finally, the biggest negative for me is the non-removable water tank, which makes cleaning quite difficult and time-consuming. Even when I used bottled water, it collected minerals and it was a whole process to clean the tank.

To summarize: it is a good coffee maker for home if you want to drink a simple coffee, whether it's espresso or filter. Now, if you have HIGH demands, go get a professional one. The price I got it for was excellent, and I give it 4 stars only for the water tank.
