De'Longhi - Stilosa 15 Bar Pump Espresso Machine - Black and Stainless

I love espresso as I’ve felt it gives me that extra boost to my coffee experience in the morning. Regular coffee is great, but I’ve felt that my body has grown accustomed to that double-shot addition to my morning routine. I just didn’t want to spend $5 at the coffee shop every morning which adds up. Thankfully, I now can enjoy my espresso shots from home and that matches my budget. After a few weeks of usage, I am impressed with DeLonghi’s 15 bar pump. Pros: -Easy set up: this is my first espresso machine and wondered how easy/difficult it would be in brewing my own espresso. Set up was easy as you are given clear instructions to clear out first with water before using it. The included Portafilter comes with 2 different shot options (1 or 2 shots). The water tank holds around 35 oz of water. -Daily usage: pretty straight forward. You place the amount of espresso powder into the Filter, scooped up by the included Measuring Spoon and Tamper. I went straight for the double shot, using espresso fro Illy. Turing it on, you have to wait about a minute before you can switch the Nobel to the pouring stage. You do have to eyeball how much you want to dispense. Frothing was pretty simple task. Cons: -No Frothing cup or shot glass. I wished these were included in the box. If you want the full experience, you do have to go out and purchase these items. Otherwise, just a large espresso mug would suffice and pouring regular milk from the carton. -Portafilter cleaning: the filter comes out easily, which is both good and bad. I wanted to remove the used up espresso from the filter and thought I can just turn it upside down and shake the espresso out. Nope. The entire filter fell out. It’s best to just place it under running water and clean it that way. Again, wished they had a way to lock in the filter so you can easily empty out the espresso. Overall, this is a very basic espresso machine. It gets the job done and dispenses the espresso pretty fast. Meets my daily needs which is the most important factor.

I absolutely love my Expresso machine. I got it super fast as well (faster then what Amazon would’ve gotten it to me!). I definitely recommend this product to anyone! I can now make my Iced White Mocha just like Starbucks!

Loving this machine so far! Def follow steps closely for before use and make sure it's cleaned often, like any machine it needs care in order to continue to work great

We’re very happy with the purchase and the quality of espresso this machine makes. The only down side being the speed at which it heats up is a bit slow. Rest all good.

Work great! Its a lit but noisy but make its function! I love my espresso machine

I had some help using for the first time since I am not a coffee aficionado Great packaging so unit arrived is perfect shape.. We did run water through for the unit as described before the 1st batch. What we noticed is it does not come with all the accessories you would typically use. Something to consider as you shop. (Our helper brought their own set and I am sure you can purchase your own online.) While there is a frothing wand, the cup is not included. I suggest a metal cup with a rubber handle and you need something to put your drink into like a shot glass etc.. The tamp / measuring spoon is an all in one tool and was included. You may also want a thermometer. As a beginner, I will say that this machine worked well and made a mean cappuccino. Our helper did freshly grind the beans which I am sure contributed to the fresh taste. This is an all manual unit, so no bells and whistles, but appears solidly made and nice looking on the counter. Instructions are easy to follow. I like the removable drip tray for not only the cleaning aspect, but the ability to put a larger up under the filter. With the tray you have about 3.3” (85mm) of clearance and without 4.3” (110mm). Steamer worked nice and doubles as a hot water dispenser if you are a tea drinker or you make americanos. Our helper thought it created larger bubbles than she liked at first, but then noticed she just needed to put the wand in a little deeper into the cup to get the frothy results she was used to on the professional units. Clean up is easy as well. All-in-all I would say this unit is a great value for the Cappuccino, Expresso or Latte lover in your family. ~Reviewers in this invitation-only program are provided products for the purpose of writing honest, unbiased reviews

If you are looking for coffee shop espresso or cappuccino or just want to bring the Barista home but don’t want to spend a lot of money then the De’Longhi Silosa is the perfect espresso machine for you. The De’Longhi has become our new espresso machine and we absolutely love it. We are able to make great tasting coffee and espresso with the perfect froth right at home. The De’Longhi Stilosa is a 15-bar pump espresso maker with a stainless-steel broiler for that perfect coffee extraction. The Stilosa comes in a matte black and stainless-steel finish and comes with a filter holder for ground coffee, 1 or 2 cup, measuring spoon and tamper and 1-liter removable water tank and drip. The stainless-steel steamer for the cappuccinos and lattes wand doubles as a hot water dispenser for teas. The drip tray adjusts to accommodate different size cups.

Don't recommend at all. Took a long time to clean, directions were unclear, bigger filter was jammed into porta filter holder. 1st, BB website said they had 3 in stock. I drive all the way there only to find out that they don't have any. Went to another store, same problem. Feeling defeated, I ordered it online. So much anticipation only to be disappointed. I'll be sure not to recommend this brand & will try to dissuade ppl from buying it from BB if they insist on getting it.
