It's the same machine. Brand (Breville, Solis, Stollar, Gastroback, ...) and model names differ from country to country. Equivalent model from Breville is BES870XL. What I've also found out is that included accessories are not the same: Breville BES870XL should come with both, pressurized and non-pressurized portafilters; my Solis Typ 115 only had non-pressurized included.

it can fill two standard coffee cups just about completely. however, it is difficult, as it is more of an esspresso machine, to make a good coffee. i have tried quite a few different beans and can only make a really good coffee with the maxhavelar coffee marimba (or something like that). esspresso is no problem. from a roastery in schlieren i also once found beans for a good coffee.

The water tank of the machine has space for a water filter. Unfortunately, I can't find it on Galaxus. Solis itself has one on offer, but it looks a little different from the one I have installed: https://www.solis.ch/de/kaffee/kaffeemaschine-zubehor/wasserfilter-pack-a-2-stk. However, I think it should fit. In the meantime, however, I pre-filter the water so that the water tank doesn't calcify.

We've had the machine for some time. Nothing rattles, but of course it's not quiet because of the compressor. The steam nozzle is good, first a little splash of water, then just steam. It makes good milk foam. It heats up quickly, but you have to empty the drip tray quite often because it flushes the old water out of the boiler every time you start it.

After consultation with the manufacturer, I can inform you that the pumping station comes from Italy.

Seems so! It looks exactly the same... The only difference I spotted is that Solis doesn't have a water filter...

The warm-up time is about right. However, it is recommended (as it also says in the manual) to first run a cup through empty, i.e. only hot water. Then the following coffee will be hot enough. I don't know how to heat milk and make coffee at the same time. But you usually do it one after the other anyway...
You don't need it, it's integrated in the machine.

I would send the machine in immediately for testing. The fact that the contactor flies is not a good sign and indicates a short circuit in the electrics/electronics.
I've never tried it before, but I don't think it should be a problem! But if I'm honest, I prefer fresh coffee beans with the machine ;)
Yes, of course, my darling!
An absolutely recommendable product. However, from today's perspective, it would be worth buying one of its successors. The Sage The Barista Pro model looks promising. These are produced by the same company as the Solis ones. It is also much more energy efficient.

I had the same problem after about 2 years, even though we always fill the water with softened water via a filter. After a proper descaling, the machine works perfectly again.
Hello Adis I actually only ever make espresso with the machine for myself and my guests. After a bit of experimentation, I found the perfect grind for the coffee beans from the roastery. Despite the automation, I think you have to experiment a little with this machine too. As for your question: I never need "pre-ground coffee" but I could imagine that this is related to the grind of the already "pre-ground coffee". Otherwise, I would ask for advice on this from a local roaster. I know roasteries where you can also go directly with your own machine, so that you can have the perfect coffee experience at home.

The "Solis holder for Claris water filter" supplier article number 700.79 is available from migros-service or solis, among others.
With the letter A.

The filters from Sage are identical in construction and also work: Sage Water Filter Claro.
This is also normal. Water only leaks out during decalcification.

I looked a while ago but didnt see it so ended up buying directly from Solis. https://www.solis.ch/fr/cafe/accessoires/wasserfilter-pack-a-2-stk Note they were not in stock at the time with Solis so it took a few weeks to arrive. Good luck!
Would be nice.
Is perhaps the piston clogged in one side? Or do you have the right filter? Here is a tutorial. https://youtu.be/6_Ut4qfgQRw Good luck!

The black ones are just cheaper and not like the chrome ones.
The left one is better.

I have removed the filter after the drain and pre-filter the water with a Brita filter, as I also need this otherwise. It works like this without any problems.
Unfortunately no longer with us, we are very sorry.
The ground coffee must be pressed really firmly into the portafilter. Also make sure that the grind is very fine. Then it should work.
Apart from the black or silver case, there is no difference. The price for the silver CHF 1000 can only be an oversight.

Our machine has been in use for about 1 month and not everything is running smoothly yet. We have the same problem with the amount of powder. We have already tried a few things: Changed the grind, reduced the amount of powder. However, this always causes the pressure to change again. When you switch from a capsule machine to this portafilter, you are really challenged. We do get a really good espresso and coffee in the meantime, but you need patience. But, as already noted, with a huge mess, because the foaming of the milk also works well, but splashes. In other words, you are constantly cleaning the "lady". Our interim conclusion: we wouldn't give it away, but it's not yet "love at first sight" - we're still working on it.
