  After about 5 days of use, being a new user of espresso machines, I have to say that coffee preparation is quite easy. Its disadvantages are the non-automatic extraction, resulting in not knowing how much coffee I need, and the milk does not froth well. I have tried it with 1.5 and 3.6 milk from Nounou, and it does not froth well, only achieving the required temperature (65-70 oC).

  Edit (22/10/22): I am trying it with 3.6 milk and the froth expands just enough. It heats up in about 30 seconds. And it makes a cappuccino like in cafes, sometimes even better. The process of producing the frothy milk is just different from the professional ones, maybe due to the low pressure (15 bar) of the nozzle. It doesn't have that creamy texture on top, but rather bubbles

  Good value for money, that's why I bought it.
  I had experience with Silvercrest from Lidl and Arielli, and I would put it at about the same level.
  Since I couldn't find Silvercrest or Philips Saeco anymore, and because I had also tried Arielli and preferred the taste of coffee in Silvercrest, I decided to try this one. In the first test today, the coffee I had, Dimello Mauve, maybe had a slightly different taste, but not a big difference... If you don't have high expectations from a 50 euro machine, it's a good choice, either this one or Arielli. Let's see how long the Silvercrest will last; it lasted 8 years, and my friend's Arielli has already lasted 5 years!

  After a few days and tests, I also bought a red Dimello in beans. The difference with the pre-ground one is noticeably better taste... In the future, I want to try it with higher quality coffees. I want to try Housebrand, which my friend has at his shop, and see how much it improves. But for now, I am enjoying my cold or hot espresso at home, just like in most coffee shops, except for a few exceptions where I find them better... I'm changing my rating to 5! Excellent for its price category. Obviously, it was purchased for around 61 euros plus shipping!

  I will give it 5 stars mainly for its value for money. It is the first machine I bought and until I reached a level where the coffee is drinkable and good, I had to do some experiments. But after the initial testing period, you can expect the same and even better coffee in relation to the outside.

  Its downsides are:
  - Its operation is not silent.
  - It takes about 5 minutes to heat up (I turn it on and do other things until it heats up, so I don't mind).

  But apart from these, I believe it is worth it, especially for its price. It is a very good choice and you won't miss anything.

  As a coffee, it is good. But from the beginning, the machine makes noise and shakes the cup to the point where it moves from its position and spills the coffee!
  It was sent twice to the service by the store, and both times they sent it back with the verdict that the machine is fine and works perfectly!
  The service is extremely poor, therefore the machine is useless too!

  A fair café for its price, it is my first café so I cannot compare it to any other with the same or lower price.
  The coffee comes out nice and hot with a rich foam. Its taste is perfect without being watery or tasting the water in the coffee that comes out. The nozzle makes good froth and overall I believe it is a fair solution for the money

  Too noisy, it shakes completely, the cup moves back and forth from the tremor and I have to be there to hold it. Many times the cup moves and all the coffee spills, at this point I get nervous! Otherwise, the coffee is fine and the temperature is great. Also, I forgot to mention that the handle broke and I glued it with strong glue hahaha!!!! My advice, save money and get something else!!!!!

  This is a decent machine. It doesn't make much noise during operation and heats up relatively quickly.

  In terms of construction, it doesn't claim any awards, but considering the price of €57 that I acquired it as an offer, it stands decently. The temperature of the produced coffee is correct. It produces a rich crema, but not with very good consistency, at least compared to another izzy-type machine that I own.

  However, the body, texture, and aroma of the coffee are excellent, and ultimately, that's what matters and what you enjoy when drinking espresso. Obviously, because it has a low flow and good pressure without burning the coffee. As for its lifespan... we shall see.
