But after 8 months of the first defect. High-pressure pump broke. Equipment was sent via Amazon and repaired under warranty.
So far so good.
This week (February 2015 - exactly 25 months after) again broken! Machine brews no coffee. Total downtime.
After calling Amazon I was - as expected - informed that the warranty has expired 3 week.
After consultation with the customer service center no grace and repair charge even when device is irreparable.
Thus remain just under 700 euros for two years and one month Kaffegenuss.
Two repairs within two years are definitely too much for a device in this price range! Am very disappointed and angry!
