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.
Hahaha! That was my exact reaction. Iβve had a Mr. Coffee Espresso machine for the better part of 10 years with 0 issues. The BBE, however, failed within 5 months. Both purchased brand new.
