Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

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 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.

From my understanding Breville and Sage are the same products just under a different name so that makes sense.

I used to work at Best Buy and I'd say considering the volume of Breville Barista units sold compared to other espresso machines they had a remarkably low return rate. I'd see lower volume products returned more often for other appliance categories.

Yeah what strikes me the most about this is the fact that Sage and ECM have the same reliability (within the first 2 years, anyway). ECM is usually considered high-end, reliable stuff, while Sage/Breville is considered to be unreliable.

Too bad about Ascaso, but the data confirms what Ascaso owners have been saying online, I guess.

Also Lelit, WTF

Same. Have had it since ~2016. Use it almost every day. I want an upgrade but it works just as well as it did on day one.
