According to our semi-automatic espresso machine expert
This piston machine was made with sustainable components. With the heavy stainless steel casing and the non-slip feet, the coffee machine stays firmly put on your counter while you're making coffee.
Note: it takes time and patience to learn how to prepare tasty coffee with a piston machine. This is a lot less easy than with a fully automatic espresso machine.

Oh how happy I am with this purchase! It's not a bargain, but then you also have something. I've had this machine for a week now and I'm very happy with it so far. Always a small party to go through the coffee ritual, to sniff the smell of freshly ground coffee and to drink the pleasure of a delicious creamy cappuccino. You always imagine yourself in an Italian coffee bar and I have never succeeded with that with previous espresso machines for home (from fully manual to fully automatic).
OVERALL: an absolute must for lovers of really tasty Italian coffees, and of the ritual that goes with it. Give this machine some love and attention every day and it will reward you with a fantastic cappuccino, latte machiato or espresso and everything in between.

This is going to be a mixed review. I have been using this type for about 10 years now, this is the second device, the design has changed in points. Those changes are clearly improvements. The first device lasted about 7 years. You can make good coffee with it. An advantage of the manual steps is that you clean all parts properly every time and you notice that in the taste. As far as I'm concerned, this is a step better than most fully automatic machines.
The pressure gauge gives you a good indication of whether the brewing process is proceeding properly. Nothing but praise for the coffee making and general use.
It is a beautiful machine, it is easy to clean, in my opinion that is a lot better than most plastic devices. Not everything that looks metal is stainless steel, by the way. The stainless steel is a sheet of metal bent over plastic.
The device must stop itself when enough water has passed through the brewing head. That works in the beginning, then sometimes, later very sometimes. You can press the button yourself when the right amount of coffee has been made, so that's not really a big issue.
There is a silicone ring in the holder of the incubator. You have to replace it approximately annually, or more often if someone is too rude with the filter holder.
The old version had a cast metal bottom, which oxidized horribly. The current generation no longer suffers from that.
If you open the device (in the event of a malfunction), it is a bit of a shock. The internal structure is chaotic and troubleshooting is therefore time-consuming. Electricity (230V) and open contacts and water pipes are close together. That could be a lot neater. If a pipe leaks now, I can well imagine that it will become critical. It is typically a device that has been assembled in China, where an hour of labor does not matter much. The device is assembled with self-tapping screws.
Now after 2.5 years the second device is broken. Total cost for repair 300 euros.

With some practice you can make delicious coffee or espresso. The device is easy to use, but very loud. Within a year, the device started to leak despite regular cleaning and replacement of rubber gaskets
