Customer Ratings & Reviews

The DeLonghi Espresso maker does a great job with making frothy espressos. I've owned other espresso makers that work well but require that you purchase their espresso pods. This espresso maker allows you to use your own coffee grounds which allows you to change the flavor whenever you want. The ability to use your own grounds also reduces the amount of waste created by the competitor’s espresso pods. The built-in steamer/milk frother is also a great feature. The other espresso makers I’ve owned have a separate appliance to froth the milk which is not as convenient at the built-in frother that this DeLonghi offers. The only issue I had with this espresso maker is that you need to use short coffee cups as seen in the photo. There is not enough room for my regular tall coffee mug to fit underneath. This espresso maker also has a small footprint, which I appreciated. It doesn't use up very much counter space and is very easy to clean and use. Overall, I feel this is a great product for the price and I am very pleased with this purchase.

this is probably the 4th or the 5th of the same machine that I bought. it is made well and priced reasonable compared to the other alternatives and brands in the market. However, a few points... I make 4-5 latte or cappuccino per day with filtered tap water. previously used distilled water only with my older machines. release the pressured steam after each run and don't start a new water heating cycle unless you release all the pressure from a previous frothing process. the pressured steam wrecks the piping inside. and pipes are plastic. dont switch it on and leave for an hour. amazingly, the wiring inside is not made to take sustained high temperatures. they may short before 2 years. clean the frothing tip/nozzle every once in a while. tamper is a joke. it is useless at best. some experience: my first machine died due to plumbing. plastic tubes died somehow after 3 years. second machine died as the wires shorted. third machine died as the knob on top (the valve) wore out and broke. so don't tighten it too much. so i am on the 4th machine and bought the 5th just in case. i have been using the 4th for over 1.5 years...

The delonghi espresso machine is fantastic. I love how simple it is to make a double shot espresso or single shot. It is very simple to use and the milk frother works like a charm. I made latte, cappuccino, and espresso all in one machine. I like that it is not bulky and heavy and easy to transfer if needed. This became my new day to day coffee machine. I really like the easy to use scoops and filters. It looks great too. I will highly recommend this machine to anyone who loves coffee. It's very easy to clean as well which is an added bonus. I received this product to test from ReviewClub.

As a beginning espresso maker I was very nervous about buying a coffee maker. I finally decided to give the DeLonghi a chance and I now know I made the best choice! It is perfect on my counter, doesn't take up a lot of room. But the big test was making coffee. It passed all tests and I now make coffee with ease. So easy to work and also easy clean up. I am so happy with my purchase! For any beginner this machine is the best and believe me, I did so much homework before purchasing one. Have fun with it and enjoy a great cup of espresso.

Makes very good espresso, very quickly and easily! The milk frother does not steam very well.

I was looking for an espresso maker after a recent addiction to BuckStars cofffee. After a few months, I was hooked paying $6-$7 with tip 2x a day. That's $14 per day, which is $320 per month. With the new addition of DeLonghi espresso maker, I gleefully wake up each morning to make my wife and I a double shot espresso white chocolate mocha. You may spend $20 a month in milk, whipped cream and various syrups for two people however, That's a drop in the bucket compared to the $3,800 a year I would be paying BuckStars. The machine is high quality for the price and efficiently supplys perfect espresso shots with minimal wait time. It might take 5 minutes each morning for 2x doubleshots and 10 minutes for 2x large white chocolate mochas. Minimal cleanup and wake up time makes our mornings a breeze. My wife constantly raves about the extra productivity and alertness she has at work after consuming a DeLonghi made caffeine beverage. My only complaint, and I mean only, is the height from the drip to the cup. You need a very small glass, a little taller than a shot glass, to successfully capture the espresso greatness. If you can afford $50-$100 more, it will be money well invested for a larger machine, but if on a tight budget you will not be disappointed in your morning wake up routine. If you watch a few YouTube videos, you will be able to pull a perfect shot of espresso each and every time with little to no learning curve. I am no professional, but that doesn't stop me from getting my homeade BuckStars on. Wooooo!

It’s a bit noisy but for the price I thinks is a really good value. We’ve had it for a few months now and it works as it should, there is some shaking as the other reviewers mention but it’s not excessive. My wife is the one that uses it so it’s only used for one or two shots everyday and We are happy with it.

The machine makes delicious coffee, however, it is a pain! The machine is too small to fit a regular size coffee cup or even most shot glasses. The other issue is that the machine shakes an incredible amount when it’s brewing the coffee and so the glasses don’t stay still therefore you have to constantly watch it while you are brewing coffee and hold the cup or else everything will shake and fall and The machine is too small to fit a regular size coffee cup or even most shot glasses.

I wanted a machine that would work and not break the bank. It has been easy to use and clean. I am very happy with ease of use, quality and value. Highly recommend.

I think this espresso machine is a good quality for the price, but definitely isn’t great. The espresso tastes OK, and the machine is easy to use. I love the taste of espresso as it is, so FOR ME this machine doesn’t necessarily cut it. I think this machine is better for someone who maybe likes espresso, but also uses creamer and other things.

I have been drinking espresso for over 30 years and I must say this machine makes a great cup of espresso. I am not much of a cappuccino drinker, but my daughter is. She says this machine does a great job of frothing with both regular milk and almond milk. It’s not only good, but it’s is also much faster then my traditional stove top coffee maker. I highly recommend this machine. It’s at a great price too.

For a simple, small espresso machine, this is great! Pulls good shots and the milk steamer is very effective as well. The only complaint I do have is that it's very loud when you are pulling the espresso shots - the whole machine vibrates.

This is the second expresso coffee maker I have used. Easy to follow instructions, although my second attempt resulted in a better cup of coffee. The frothed took me longer to get use in making the lattes. Overall a good machine.

Pulls decent shots and do a passable job on frothing. A little bit small for my preference but it is a great space saver. Tamper is not removable but it works. Single boiler but steamer preheats rather quickly as well.

I was looking for a hobby during lock down, and this fit the bill. It doesn't take up much space, and it works pretty well. I've been using it for about a month. The milk steamer takes some getting used to, but I'm a total novice so it could be me, too. I recommended it to a friend, and now we send pictures back and forth on the group chat to see who can make the better latte.

Completely reasonable place to start for your caffeine addiction. You can use of the shelf bagged coffee and get a good cup of coffee. The steamer work's okay, you won't want to try heating a large amount of milk with this. There are a lot of little modifications you can do to improve it, to get a better tasting shot out of it. One of the biggest down sides is the small portafilter. It's only 51mm where the standard size is 58mm. Finding a tamper for it is very difficult and when you do it ships from China on a very slow boat. The built in tamper is almost impossible to use and ends up making a mess

The only downside of this coffee machine is that it does not have an automatic feature. Other than that is a great acquisition to make expressos for a cheap and affordable price. Great quality and durability.

My mother loves coffee, but I always found her spending way too much money on it every morning. I decided to gift her this machine so she could save time and money in the mornings before work. Now, she can't remember the last time she bought coffee. It was very easy for her to learn how to use and she found it very fast and effective.

Quality coffee and easy to set up and clean! Good value

I love my coffee but was ready to take the straight espresso leap! So glad I did and so glad I purchased the DeLonghi. After three attempts I was a pro! All the Shots (4 exactly!) daily now. I’ve up’d my Barista skills to include lattes etc. Such a great addition to any home. Definitely a worthwhile investment.
