For the price you can not expect all too much, but you could tell from the first contact, it is a mass product. The handle rattles and has game, the lid closes quite heavy and the thread can turn rather moderate. In the water tank still find rough casting traces, where highly can sell coffee. In my copy probably someone rumhantiert with a sander to remove casting residues because there are scratches and a deep dent in the ground ...
The biggest deficiency falls over coffee Recycle: The thread (or seal) does not close properly, what Fürt means that shortly before reaching the "working pressure" a small surge coffee injected through the threads on the hot stove. Very ugly.
To taste: The rescues the device at least something and let me just distribute two star. The coffee does not have much to do with espresso, but it tastes good. Certainly better than vile filter machine coffee.
The unit returns naturally. Whether I buy myself one again, I do not know ... If, rather then the newer version, the quality technically hopefully can convince more.
