Original post was titled “Coffee machines reliability chart”, but the image says that they’re in the “espresso machine category”.

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.

    I find it very odd that the cheapest brands that use plastic like Smeg, sage/breville and delonghi apparently have less faults than e61 based metal machines from Lelit and rocket.

      It could be a user perception thing. If something feels cheap, we’re more careful with it. If it feels sturdy, we’re rougher with it. Maybe we’re the ones that cause the breakage.

      Or, maybe, it’s an acceptance thing. When something is cheap, we’re not worried about fixing it or complaining about it when it breaks, we just accept the fact that it was cheap and replace it. But when it’s expensive, we don’t accept when it breaks, we complain about it and we strive to fix it, instead of replace it.
