I did much research before buying this idea and I would not recommend it. Conveniently directly after the refund time period of 30 days was over the machine started having problems. If you have any doubts during the first Month return it otherwise you will be stuck with it. It does have a year warranty ( but only if you want to spend 50 $ to have it sent back each time it breaks) but the question is, if you want to keep a product that you spent a good amount of money on, if it can't last two months? Mine is being sent back to be fixed ( you have to pay the shipping fee there/ the company pays the return fee). Update: I received the fixed machine for it to break another two months later. Don't buy this.If your looking to buy a espresso machine stick with a well known brand/ classic machine. Look for one that is as simple as possible ( more money does Not mean better quality). The more gadgets, the more that can go wrong.This machine looks nice ( it is Not made in Switzerland just "designed") but even before it broke completely it was having glitches that I was able to fix.All parts of this espresso machine are made in china.
