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 I’ve 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 I’m more excited that I’m not contributing to e-waste.

      IDK, maybe they are so simple that they don’t break. Or they are so inexpensive that people don’t even file warranty cases when they do

      It’s plastic but in my opinion the Dedica is a pleasure to work on. But my Silvia makes better espresso.

      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.
