I was pleased with it but after two years it stopped working altogether. Can't find any helpful info on the website or int manual, other than go and check solenoids etc which is beyond my level of DIY.

Absolute rubbish. Bought to replace my 14 year old krupps entry level espresso which I bought for £30 around 14 years ago. The full tank leaked all over the worktop on my first attempt to use it! Avoid and save yourself the disappointment and hassle of arranging a refund.

The machine was too light and flimsy for my liking. When trying to place the coffee pod in place I had to hold the machine down; it was a major task to seat the pod correctly and even then I couldn't get it to work. No messing, ... I returned the item.

Had two of these, returned two these. First one pump faulty, second water heater failed. I've heard from a few people that since Phillips brought the brand things have gone a bit downhill. Disappointed.

tgua has been a mistake. Attracted by the offer and the brand we decided to go for it to discover that making coffe takes now ages and is not as good as with our old Krups. The cheap plastics and an overall poor usability complement this negative review as is now clear that we should have spent some more money on buying a different brand.

I bought this as my old Delonghi was on its last legs, I had a bit of trouble from the start with no water coming through, it then decided to work but this only lasted for a few days and the same thing happened again. I have since bought another Delonghi and would definitely recommend. Great return policy from Amazon though as I was refunded within days.

I have had Gaggia Espresso machines for years. I have been delighted with them and when I saw this model, I thought it would replace the more solid, metal Gaggia I already have but is beginning to brew more slowly.I've now had three delivered to me, each one faulty First flooded everywhere, second wouldn't make coffee, just stream, third one after jiggling the steam dial did make a lovely cup of coffee, as I would expect from Gaggia, but not the next time I tried.At that point, I looked up comments online to find there are many disappointed people out there, all with the same problems.How sad a recognised manufacturer is produce such second-class goods.
