This is a very good machine and very reliable. I had one that lasted ten years without any problems. Coffee is good and fluffy, much better than some big brand machine. The nozzle for hot chocolate is great too. Chocolate is frothy without being too hot, my children make every morning for years without any pump failure as happened to me with krups to 265 euros (Krups YY8202 - Coffee with steam nozzle "Cappuccino" - 15 bar - brushed stainless steel) ... I board this machine !!!!! After ten years of good and loyal service mine has just the soul ... Also being very satisfied I bought the same today !!!!
