On build quality I’d give a 4 stars, apart from the top part which is very shaky. The problem comes with the distribution it creates a vortex starting from the middle, like an inverse mountain. There are no needles in the middle so it doesn’t distribute at all. It creates too much channeling, I’m so sorry for this review but I wanted to like it so much… I hope that you can improve it.
I have a commercial spring lever machine so not common. The shots have gone from totally blocked to gushing depending upon the grind. Very small adjustments make big changes in flow rate. However when I get it right the flavor has been sweet.

I am super pleased with this coffee machine. It's simple to use and the results are great. In my opinion the money invested is more than worth it.
