    Writing a review after a month of using it - makes various drinks and easy to use. Stainless steel design gives it a great curb appeal in the kitchen and also a sturdy design! The Delonghi folks are always great with support and will answer your questions as needed! Overall, I do recommend this product if you like the all in one machine!

    I absolutely love this machine. I had been researching all sorts of machines and some seemed too complex while others seemed too cheap but then I stumbled upon this one and it really hit every check box for me. It’s super easy to use after getting the settings dialed in based on water Ph and bean quality. I have used it every day since I got it and it has not disappointed

    Love this machine! Has the perfect grind and the perfect amount of pressure build up to make the smoothest, most luscious shots of coffee. Very sturdy and quite the morning game changer. Take the time to learn the buttons and lights, it’ll make all the difference. It does have a little bit of a learning curve if you’re new to espresso machines so learning it and skimming the manual helps a lot. Would recommend to coffee lovers.

    Overall a good machine, it heats up really fast and is ready to use within seconds. The steam wand is also ready to use almost immediately and is double insulated so if you touch it by accident it wont burn you. I am still playing with the grind size because sometimes it pours the shot too slow/fast. I am also having trouble with it tamping evenly which defeats the purpose of a built in tamper. But other than that I really like it.
