Had one of these for 2 years. It still functions as good as the day we got it. Why am I browsing here at new ones? Well I'm a bit fed up of all the diva demands it makes.We only drink black coffee - we go for the long coffee option that grinds twice. Problem is you only get about 3 cups and then it halts mid flow and wants the ground coffee emptying, the coffee drawer cleaned and the drip tray emptied. Then you try again and it's out of water. Then it tells you constantly that it wants cleaning and you are given a countdown to when you have to clean it or your warranty will be invalid. Honestly the thing never shuts up wanting stuff. We just want a coffee. Simples.It would be just great if it had bigger tanks and wasn't quite so fussy over all the maintenance. It really is annoying. I push the button for my coffee and it takes a while to warm up so I pop to the loo thinking it will be done when I get back and then when I come back it hasn't even started because its waiting for some attention.If you only drink single expresso you might like it. Otherwise get something with bigger capacity.
