Bought this last time. Absolutely terrible, even for the insanely low price. “Cheap” doesn’t begin to describe the materials used, and “frustrating” is not the emotion I want when trying to make espresso. Used it once, and now it sits in my garage… considered donating to my office, but I would’ve been embarrassed by it. 0/10
I’ve only used it for nespresso pods so far so I can’t speak to a real tamped shot yet. At best I’d consider it an entry level model for those curious about making espresso, but don’t expect it to last forever. Most reviews I found said it lasted less than a year. Most of it is plastic even in places I thought should have been solid metal. After about 30 nespresso pods, the dual nozzle drain piece has loosened, which is a plastic piece. Cleaning is simple enough for the parts and pieces but internally I haven’t done any cleaning yet.
