Absolutely love! Small and compact and is easy to use

Love it!!!! Easy to use, great coffee temp, great steam wand and build quality. It’s not automatic so you have to shut the espresso off when you want it to quit brewing/pulling a shot, but it’s great for home use.

So, I tried not to let my first review at BestBuy be negative; however, after a few weeks filled with wasting multiple pounds of coffee and endless carafes of milk, negative it must be. This was my first "espresso machine" purchase and the biggest takeaway I can give is: don't be cheap! Yes, this is less expensive than a better machine, but I now know you definitely get what you pay for. I'll just list my positives and negatives below and you can decide for yourself... Positives: Very inexpensive. Will make something akin to an espresso/latte/cappuccino/etc., just not with the flavor you're used to getting from a coffee shop. Very easy to maintain and clean. Ready to use really fast, doesn't take 15+ mins like most machines. Negatives: Not enough pressure is created to utilize an appropriate grind/weight combination. I have found that I can barely use what is considered an "espresso grind" and have more than 15g of coffee in the basket. I have a Breville Smart Grinder Pro and can only go down to a size 25 grind (their espresso grind range is between 0-30) and have that amount of coffee. Any smaller grind and the weight of the coffee also must decrease, in addition to tamping lighter or you won't get any extraction. Next, is the steam wand...or whatever they want to call it. It's short, so even in a small carafe (mine is 12 oz max) the steam wand barely touches milk. I'm new to this and learned this is the biggest issue with the product. If the steam is too high in the milk you end up with endless bubbles, well, it's virtually impossible to prevent that with this machine. Even submerging virtually the whole wand in the milk (up to the point they say you can't go past), by the time the milk is at 110 degrees it's bubbling over the edge of the carafe. A great work around is just removing the cappuccino attachment (this also has weird bevels inside it which prevents creating the proper whirlpool needed to froth milk) and using the internal wand itself; however, that's only a small rubber piece that slides into place and short of securing it to the machine (I use a bread tie) it will just pop off into the milk filled carafe you're using to steam the milk. An aftermarket wand would make this part of the machine infinitely better, but DeLonghi doesn't offer one, so no luck there. It really stinks to waste a couple hundred dollars and if you're remotely serious about doing lattes and such at home, that's all you're doing. I plan on hoping someone will buy this from FB marketplace and I'll just use whatever funds I can secure to put toward the purchase of a real espresso machine. This is just not where it's at if you plan to get remotely serious with being able to make a proper latte.

Easy to use and compact! Definitely thought it would be a bigger machine but it is just the right size!

This is a wonderful product. It makes coffee in just minutes. The size of the water tank allows you to make coffee without having to refill it every time. Great buy.

This machine has eliminated the need to pay almost 10 dollars for a large latte at one of the chain stores. It is easy to use, clean, and store. I recommend this for first time espresso makers!

The best espresso maker for a little price. I use it a least once per day. It's easy to use, clean, and taste good.

Despite being a manual machine, I found the De'Longhi surprisingly easy to use. The setup was straightforward, thanks to the clear instructions provided. Operating the machine feels intuitive, from filling the portafilter to steaming milk. Cleaning is also hassle-free, which is a huge plus for daily use!

Best investments ever but it take time if you have couple of people plus too much noise for foam

Easy to clean, takes up a small footprint on my counter

Purchased this espresso make a few weeks ago on Black Friday. Very pleased with the easy use and quality results

I love this espresso machine. Easy to follow instructions and good value. Made well and nice size for small space.

Ideal for making coffee at home. Once you have the right tools and the necessary experience to froth milk, you can make delicious and sophisticated coffees.

Easy to use and uncomplicated, simple to clean as well. I love that it's small.

Works great and coffee is good. Doesn’t leak and looks good on my counter

This was an early Christmas present for my roommate but I've used it a few times myself. Between me and him, it makes a really good espresso but the steam wand doesn't seem to get the milk as hot as I'm sure it needs to be. It's possible its just the one I picked up and if I replaced it, it'd be fine. However in the off chance this is the same issue across all the same models, I'd be advised about the heat of the steam function. Oh and be sure to get your own tamper. The included one is plastic and doesn't quite get to the right level of tamped, if that makes sense. I was lucky enough to catch this on a black Friday sale, so by all means, if you catch this on sale and want your own espresso machine, I do recommend this one.

I wanted to make lattes and capachinos at home without complication. I was tired of spending 5$ a cup ...so this machine is a dream . You can opt for any espresso coffee grounds you like or easy espresso pods....your not forced to purchase only pods or cups like the other espresso machines. You also have an option of a single shot or double shot. Also there's milk frother attached to it. I love it !!! It's comes out so hot !

[Employee of bestbuy] Good lower cost espresso machine. Not to complicated

Been using this daily. This is perfect for a small home or personal use. If you enjoy latte's, espresso shots, and "specialty" coffees, this device will pay itself off in no time compared to going out and purchasing a $7 cup of coffee (before tax and tip). Quick, simple, and easy to use.

Great machine for the beginner Barista such as myself. allows opportunity to explore creating and pouring your own shots. Comes from one of the top manufacturers of espresso/coffee machines
