We had bought the same model a year ago already and were overall impressed. 1a quality stainless steel with a brushed look, superb craftsmanship, world-class espresso quality. Unfortunately, after 11 months, the switch was broken, so we decided to buy a second device. But what a disappointment: shiny stainless steel billigster quality that looks more scratched than brushed, hakelicher screw and a diagonally inserted central tube. What remains is the good taste of the espresso. The price-performance ratio, however, has deteriorated significantly due to the low-grade material. The former good rating by Stiftung Warentest, the manufacturer anyway playful. For this price, there is - now - better equipment!
