Original post was titled “Coffee machines reliability chart”, but the image says that they’re in the “espresso machine category”.

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.

    For us low end folks. My breville bes 870xl has lasted 6 years. At least 2-3 doubles shot pulls everyday. Still working great.

    Apparently the group heads on the Smeg machines are particularly sturdy, and tend to get fewer gasket leaks as they wear. Which is good, because the last thing you need while you’re trying to have your morning espresso is some bleeding Smeg head getting in your way.

    I’ll see myself out the airlock.

    I only know the first three companies on that chart. I had a Gaggia Classic someone gave me and when it failed bought another one. When that failed five or so years later, I bought a Sunbeam. Imo it makes better coffee and was half the price.

    Choice magazine in Australia does reliability surveys for appliance, electronic and a few other things. The one that remember was for fridges, where Smeg was the most expensive by a good margin but least reliable.

      I’ve always been of the mindset of “pay the least amount for a product that does your desires goal well enough for your needs”. It’s why I’ve had a Mr. Coffee seni-automatic cappuccino machine for over 10 years. Not a Rancilio, but certainly good enough for what I wanted at the time. AND, it was $35 on sale at the time.
