Review on Alessi Silver Espresso Coffee ☕ Maker: Elegant Style and Rich Aroma Brew by Justin Spence

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Beware of possible counterfeits - cheaper design and shorter lifespan compared to the previous purchase

Do not buy this product. It breaks down quickly and has a very limited warranty. I bought this product from this seller 4 years ago and now it is leaking and cannot be used. Note in the photo the metal base separating where it was soldered/pressed below. This seller tells me that the warranty is currently limited to 2 years and has refused to replace it. I have attached a photo of the defect as well as another photo comparing it to the original model I have been using for 15 years. In another photo, notice how the design of the bottom of the coffee maker has changed between both models. I'm still not sure if the newer model is fake or if Alessi decided to sacrifice its original quality to produce a cheaper version, but I still paid $260 for it and the difference in life is completely different. I see it's on sale right now for $179. Beware!

Pros
  • Even the old man understands
Cons
  • Not everything is as good as it says
