Stopped working after 7 months, poor support

This machine worked well for the first seven months, then stopped functioning. It displays a persistent message about emptying the grounds and drip tray, and emptying them makes no difference. This appears to be a common problem based on many videos and online comments, so the manufacturer is likely aware of it. Support has been difficult to reach: an hour on the phone, another hour in online chat with shifting queue positions, and the chat ended when support hours ran out. For a $1,500 machine, this should not be the problem that it is.

Pros
  • + Worked well for the first seven months
Cons
  • − Stopped working after 7 months
  • − Persistent empty grounds and drip tray message
  • − Emptying does not resolve the message
  • − Common problem reported online
  • − Long waits for phone and chat support
  • − Chat disconnected when support hours ended
  • − High price for the reliability experienced

Effortless, Consistent Espresso and Milk Drinks

This machine makes espresso that is hot and milk drinks that come out well with minimal effort. Cleaning is straightforward: the milk system can be disassembled and its parts placed in the dishwasher. It offers two profiles and two coffee bins, which helps avoid conflicts between two users. It does not allow refining technique; aside from using better coffee, results stay the same as the first use. That first result was considered more than good enough.

Pros
  • + hot espresso
  • + milk drinks prepared well
  • + simple cleaning with dishwasher-safe milk system parts
  • + two profiles and two coffee bins
Cons
  • − no way to improve results beyond using better coffee
