Every one of these brands looks like it should have an Urban Dictionary entry

Reliable smeg

I have a DeLonghi Magnifica since 2014, it might not be the best machine but the availability of cheap replacement parts is great. I've replaced a heater element, filter and a water tank so far. Opening up the machine is easy and all electrical connection are spade connectors.

For those of us on budgets, fwiw I've owned two breville's BES870XLs and have zero issues and pull 2 or 3 shots daily. Owned the first one (and still my daily) since 2016.

...smeg? Really? Huh.

I talked to a kitchen outlet staff member and asked about the Smeg brand, because I liked it's style but thought it expensive. She said that they tend not to be good at all and I should avoid the brand. That there was both cheaper and more reliable alternatives or pricier higher end goods.

Just surprised to see it making any list.

I've had a glass/stainless steel french press for 20 years with never an issue. Why isn't that in the list eh?

Hey! Cool to see Galaxus cited on lemmy. We don't have Amazon in Switzerland but Galaxus/Digitec is pretty convenient too.

No Jura?

Would be interested to see how that looks for 5 and 10 years. From my extraordinarily huge sample size of 1, Gaggia is awesome. Also parts are easy to find and mine was super easy to work on.

Now have Lelit. It's made it past 24 months no issues yay!

I wonder how much of Gaggia's position is supported by the Classic Pro. Super simple, easy to fix.

No Mr Coffee?

LaMarzocco?

I expected to see Technivorm but this is specifically espresso machines.

I feel like DeLonghi is just plastic crap but maybe I'm wrong?

I'm the 3.9%, twice.
