Customer Ratings & Reviews

We got this to replace our Espressione Cafe Retro after 6 years of spotty service. I loved the way the old one looked but it was a bit temperamental. Still, when it worked properly, it made good espresso. The DeLonghi doesn't look as good or feel as solid as our old machine – also you can't put as many grounds in it so it's a bit weaker – but it's working as it's supposed to so far. Decent value for the money if you like this style of machine.

Love the color. Matches my red kitchenaid. A huge style step up from our former delonghi EC155. Makes an excellent coffee and is easy to use. Happy customer.

The unit makes pretty loud noise when it starts to pump. I read that from other reviewers but didn't expect it was that loud. The steam wand starts to leak after the few use. I am not sure if I should keep it.

Works great . Smooth and easy to use/clean. I would totally recommend this for someone who wants a great espresso machine but doesn't want to break the bank.

Unlike many similar pump devices, this one produces the right temperature and crema and looks pretty at a low price. I would just recommend not to use it with tap water in South Florida to enjoy it longer.

Overall, I am very pleased with my DeLonghi - Icona Pump-Driven Espresso Maker. I enjoy cappuccino every morning.

Performs exceedingly well, so far. Two months of daily usage and no issues.

Good machine. Ground tamper is a little clunky but otherwise it is easy to use. Best to use with short cups as the machine nozzle is close to the tray.

Bought this machine for my Mother in law. Compared to 500$ machine this machine is great. Simple, basic, and easy to use I couldn’t have asked for a better machine.

A simple to use, good machine. This was the best one we found at this price.

Great entry-level Expresso an capucmake maker for a house, while not the capacity to serve a crowd, good enough for a family

I am much happier with the DeLonghi than I was with the Breville that it replaced.

This is a great machine for the money. It gets the job done and I love my espresso

This is my second try with this product. The first one leaked water and I had to exchange it after 8 months. The second one is holding up so far.

This worked great, looks great! Was a little difficult first getting started but took 5min and we had fresh espresso in no time

I recommend this item to the people like coffee. Very helpful, specially in the morning if you are in harry.

I used this machine for a few weeks before it started to leak from the handle and also from the milk steamer. It is loud, it is messy and it is honestly just not worth the mess and effort for a nice cup of coffee in the morning. I wanted something easier/more user friendly especially since I use it every morning for myself and my wife. Several aspects that I do not like about this machine will probably be the case for most machines like this, and that would be the mess of the frother and packing the espresso. Those two points aside, other issues I had with it was how loud it was, and how badly it vibrated while brewing. I had to hold the cup steady so it didn't vibrate off its little platform, so I couldn't just get it going and come back to it. Its honestly just a headache to make a cup of coffee in the morning that I drank less coffee because of it. Its not difficult to use but its just not a clean, speedy process like I wish it was. I returned this machine and ended up going with a Nespresso Latissima Touch machine, and that was the best decision I could have made. The only "negative" with the nespresso machine is that you have to use their coffee pods instead of your own ground coffee but it is worth it. Their coffee tastes great and the pods are recyclable.

I would definitely recommend this machine if you are looking for a beginner machine, makes some really good shots and good foamy milk
