Customer Ratings & Reviews

For the past week, I've been testing the DeLonghi Linea Classic Espresso machine. Overall, I find it to be an easy-to-use and elegant machine that comes with all the necessary tools for crafting perfect espresso. The stainless steel and chrome finish of the DeLonghi Linea provides a stylish and high-end appearance to my kitchen counter. Some of the most compelling features include the look, feel, and operability of the buttons, steam knob, and pressure gauge. The portafilter and filter baskets feature exceptional craftsmanship, to provide consistent pressure for optimal extraction. Also, I loved the convenience of the removable water tank. In terms of performance, the Linea heated up rapidly and generated hot steam within seconds of pressing the steam button. For espresso brewing, it similarly reached operational temperature and pressure quickly with just a press of a button. Whether brewing a single or double shot, it consistently produced some of the thickest crema I have observed from a consumer-grade machine. Every shot of espresso it produced was tasty, fragrant, and consistent in texture. Additionally, this product is very easy to clean- from coffee grounds being easily removed from the filter to the portafilter that can be cleaned simply with a stream of water. With that said, I would highly recommend this espresso machine if you are looking for a sophisticated, yet compact product that brews high-quality espresso.

This is my second espresso machine, the first one I had was also De’longhi but was a cheap model and was made of lots of plastic. Even though it was cheap the espresso it made was fantastic. This model of De’Longhi seems like a much better build and looks very nice on my counter. The only thing you will need when you open the box is coffee, milk, water, and a cup. De’Longhi gives you two different cup options, one cup or two. I just use the two cup one because I like espresso and found that one isn’t enough for me. Setup was straight forward and was more just putting the pieces in place. I did a deep clean of everything before using. Make sure you follow the instructions to avoid frustration. When you initially turn on the machine you need to wait for the lights to stop flashing to make a cup of espresso. When you use the frothier you need to wait until the light is solid before it will work properly. Also you need to clear the frothier line of water before frothing milk. Also the steam is very hot and I burned my finger once on it, also I tried to adjust the frothier while using and touched the metal for the frothier and burnt my hand a second time. This is no fault of the machine but all on the users being me. So just be mindful not burn yourself like I did. When I made my first cup of espresso it did not taste great, but that was because the grounds I used were older than I thought. I bought some new espresso and the taste is fantastic! Even without milk it was very creamy and smooth. I used half and half with the frothier and it easily doubled in size and made great froth for the top of my espresso. The frothier is easy to use and easy to clean. You can you easily pull of the metal end off the frothier and rinse it out. Then you can wipe down the rubber part that is under the metal frothier end. As for the rest of the machine I usually just dump the grounds and rinse everything and wipe down the machine with a towel. Easy to use and easy to clean, perfect for anyone! I gave four stars because I thought the pressure gauge would allow you to manually adjust the pressure of the machine. I was incorrect and it’s basically there just for looks, I think a clock or something more useful would have been better but it does add to the look of the machine. Overall I’m very happy with this machine and the coffee it produces. I love how simple and easy it is to use and how great tasting the espresso is. I can’t wait to have a family gathering and make espressos at home for everyone!

Okay, so I gotta say, this De’Longhi Linea Classic Espresso Machine is totally awesome. As a coffee lover myself, I’m always trying to make my drinks taste better and quicker, and this thing does the job. It’s made with stainless steel, so it looks super fancy in my kitchen and matches everything. The quality feels legit, like it’s gonna survive my morning rush for years. The instructions they give you is pretty straightforward, but don’t forget to prime it first—I almost did lol One of my favorite things is the pressure gauge on the front. It’s cool ’cause you can see if your espresso is gonna be perfect or not. Plus, it can froth milk (or like almond or oat), which is great for lattes. The water tank holds alot, enough for like 4 cups before refilling, and it’s removable which make filling it up simple. Cleaning is easy too—just wipe the stainless steel with a cloth and the cup tray adjusts up and down? Such a nice touch for big mugs or tiny espresso glasses. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it already and I’d totally tell anyone whose into coffee to get one. Only thing is, sometimes the steam wand drips a little after use, but whatever. For real, if you want cafe-quality drinks without leaving home, this machine’s worth it.

Me and my coworkers absolutely love our new espresso machine. We have started in a cubicle that is not being used and it’s really close to an outlet. I’ve added some cups, coffee and creamer and we have an entire barista section. I’ve had one of these before so I know exactly how to use it and making my 1st cup of coffee was super easy. I like the easily accessible water container, the lightness of the ground coffee container strainer, and the milk steamer even works just as well as my other others. My only concern is that it has no stability or suction, and when I am opening or closing, where the coffee goes, it moves the whole machine side to side. So I find myself putting unnecessary amount of pressure on the whole barista to firmly open and close that section. Make sure to leave a cup under the steamer with a little bit of water to keep that wand, clean and reminding myself to clean it entirely Before we leave for the weekend so that when we come back on Tuesday, we can start a fresh cup of coffee.

Its our first espresso maker and it works great. It works great and my wife loves the flavor. Its quick and easy. We highly recommend it. Great price.

Nice machine and easy to use. Pulls a nice shot and makes great foam. It took a little time to figure out the right adjustment to get the perfect foam, but once I did it’s been great!!

It’s only been about a week. So far I love it. You can’t compare it to commercial machines of course. But it does what it’s supposed to do. The steamer can get loud. I say it’s worth it!

Great little machine. Easy to use and really does justice to the great Puerto Rican coffee.

I really like how simple this machine is to use. It performs as expected and is good quality.

Very easy to use and tastes like it is from a coffee shop.

Overall really easy to use and makes pretty tasty espresso

Bought for my daughter for a housewarming gift and took it right out of the box and started using it. Easy to use and she is having fun qith it.

Absolutely love my De'Longhi Linea! It has made me some wonderful espresso. If you want to be able to grind your own beans, etc, and have the "full experience" this machine is a great budget friendly option.

I love the Rich Expresso shot coming out of this machine. I was using kuerig and this one is far superior

Great price for entry level espresso machine when on sale. Pressurized basket so no need to tweak pulling shots. I did notice the espresso shot is not that hot

Bought this for my husband as a birthday gift. He’s loving it so far and he makes a latte with it every morning.

Unfortunately, this coffee maker didn’t meet my expectations. The coffee it brews is quite weak, with a very mild, almost watery taste. On Saturday (or when using the “Saturday brew” mode, if that’s what it’s called), the coffee lacked body and aroma, as if there wasn’t enough pressure or strength in the brewing process. I think this machine could work well for someone who isn’t too picky about coffee flavor or who prefers a lighter, more American-style coffee. It’s simple and easy to use. But for those of us who enjoy a stronger coffee with character and a well-defined taste, this machine falls short. Honestly, it wasn’t to my liking. I prefer options that allow me to adjust the intensity and achieve a more powerful extraction.

No issues thus far have had it for roughly 5 months and works flawlessly.

Great beginner espresso machine! Love that it was a reasonable price but still works great and is easy to use but makes good quality espresso and is made of metal
