I am informed long and have seen a Viedeovergleichstet in the ARD media library. Since the machine cut of four tested equipment in the price range clearly came out on top because it is durable and does a very useful Espresso. This is precisely what has now also been confirmed in my experience. One should try to find out only suitable coffees through. My experience shows that not always an espresso coffee is the best choice, but a normal coffee can yield more crema and flavor. The machine is really robust, you have to look that there is always water in the tank, otherwise the pump would be damaged.
