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.
You must log in or # to comment.
Every one of these brands looks like it should have an Urban Dictionary entry
When I read Smeg (top of the chart) I didn’t think about coffee, instead I went to clean up myself a bit.
I thought of red dwarf. I still am.
I kinda want one just so I can have that consistent red dwarf reminder (and write “head” after the logo, like my shark vacuum has “nado” after the logo)
“Smeeee… heaaah! A complete and total one, yes.”
Does smeg not mean what i thought it meant as a kid anymore?
De Long Hi was my nickname in college
…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.
If it’s about warranty claims maybe they just deny any warranty claim
Reliable smeg

Made me gaggia
NO
Everything I’ve read about their other appliances suggests that they’re awful for reliability. Weird result.
Maybe they handed over some dirty smeg money under the table
Are people who use Smeg coffee makers known as Smegheads?
instant coffee in cold water gang
…you put it in water!? I thought you were supposed to just eat it with a spoon
i just eat the beans
A man concerned with efficiency of both time and resources…I like it!
LaMarzocco?
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.
I’ve had a glass/stainless steel french press for 20 years with never an issue. Why isn’t that in the list eh?

Not with that attitude.
How do you make espresso from a french press?
By weight lifting a lot and being very very strong.
I was thinking the same thing. Unless I drop mine, or can’t find the screens, it’ll last forever. Plus it tastes better to me anyhow
I wonder how much of Gaggia’s position is supported by the Classic Pro. Super simple, easy to fix.
I feel like DeLonghi is just plastic crap but maybe I’m wrong?
I think we had a DeLonghi which broke like 3 times in 2 months
I have a nespresso coffee machine (I know booo) from DeLonghi. But I really want to move to something else. Because I don’t like the capsules model. On the other hand I don’t want to dispose of a perfectly working machine. It’s been running without any issue for 11+ years… why can’t it just die.
Ah yes, the Toyota Camry feeling
It’s plastic but in my opinion the Dedica is a pleasure to work on. But my Silvia makes better espresso.
IDK, maybe they are so simple that they don’t break. Or they are so inexpensive that people don’t even file warranty cases when they do
I expected to see Technivorm but this is specifically espresso machines.
They’re too reliable for this silly chart.

Here’s the Warranty Data for Filter Coffe Makers if you’re interested. Not enough data for Moccamaster though.
Guess the simpler mechanics of filter coffee machines do make them a lot more reliable. Wish i could’ve seen some Japanese brands too, Zorujishi makes a small one that I’m interested in…
I have had a Saeco Intelia since 2017 and had zero problems with it. I would love to know where it ranks in this mix. It makes about 10 cups of espresso a day and I have never had to do anything more than keep it clean.
Saeco is Gaggia
I’ve been looking for a new superauto and if Smeg is reliable I’m curious to look into some of the prices of their models.
Warranty claims might not necessarily indicate higher value for the money. Smeg is well known for premium/luxury kitchen appliances (kettle, fridge, toasters). I didn’t even know they made espresso machines.
Gaggia is the OG espresso-with-crema brand, with the classic pro being a well-known “entry” level recommendation for espresso machine. Likely can’t go wrong with this one.

Not at all true. The gaskets are a pain. The screws are loose. It’s just not worth fixing.
