The biggest swiss online seller makes charts for warranty claims. Basically: how many warranty claims does each brand have? This chart only shows the most popular brands of coffee machines sold on the site, but I still find it interesting.
I have a nespresso coffee machine (I know booo) from DeLonghi. But I really want to move to something else. Because I don't like the capsules model. On the other hand I don't want to dispose of a perfectly working machine. It's been running without any issue for 11+ years.... why can't it just die.
Can you really hate a product that still keeps working?? I also hate the capsules, but Iâve made it a point to use the free recycle feature because i like the convenience. Sometimes at 9pm I want an after dinner espresso without all the fuss.
Mine is going on 4 years now, and in this day and age Iâm more excited that Iâm not contributing to e-waste.
I have a 100$ de Longhi plastic espresso. After modding the portafilter to not be pressurized, the quality of the espresso has been decent, but not very consistent (and I still can't get the milk frothing correctly, but that might just be me).
However I can say it is indeed reliable as I've had it for 2+ years without issues.
