Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lello 1375 Ariete Cafe Prestige Coffee Maker
Customer Review: Disappointing....
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought a model 1375 espresso machine a year ago and use it 3-4 times each week. While I haven't had any major problems like those described in some reviews, I do have some complaints:
1) Before using it for the first time, I read the written instruction sheet very carefully. Only later did I find the small, separate piece of paper which says "BEFORE making espresso the first time, you MUST prime the pump!" (I'm using their caps & exclamation point.) Why not include advice that on the large multilingual sheet of basic instructions??
2) The first cup of the day never has a thin layer of tan foam on the surface, no matter how long I let the machine heat up. Only when you make the next cup does that normal foam appear.
3) I bought the machine because it's made of stainless steel, not plastic, and it looks attractive. However I learned that the drip tray isn't stainless steel. Pieces of metal continue to peel off one area of the tray, as if acid were eating into it. I now wash and dry the drip tray every single time I use the machine. When that metal began peeling, I sent email to Ariete customer service, requesting that they send me a new drip tray to replace the one that's slowly deteriorating. That was about 6-8 months ago and they NEVER responded.
4) Recently the Ariete label glued to the bottom of the front of the machine began peeling off. It had never been exposed to water or rough treatment. Now it's starting to look tacky...
In conclusion, I would never buy another espresso maker made by Ariete because of complaint #3.
