The built-in grinder and steam wand are also well-received features. While the design is appreciated, some find the price and the water tank's placement to be drawbacks.

    The coffee looks and tastes just like the one you can buy from the coffee shop. Be sure to read the documentation, it is a bit more complicated to use than just pressing a button.

    Hoping it lasts as long as my previous De'Longhi

    I bought this to replace a De'Longhi Magnifica that I bought sometime around 2006 that finally died its final death on me last year. I also have a full manual Gaggia that I obtained around the same time which is also on its last leg. The reason I mentioned my other / old espresso machines is because I wanted to point out that I've had both fully automatic down to manual machines and was looking for something a bit in between. Because I had such a good experience with the Magnifica I was leaning towards the De'Longhi brand when doing my search. I have only had it now for a couple of weeks but definitely satisfied using it for making espresso. I do want to try the cool espresso and coffee functionality but need to download the online instructions and figure out how to use that functionality and the pressurized portafilter. For espresso it does take a few shots or so to dial it in. The grinder is time based so its a matter of either weighing out the beans and putting them in the (empty) grinder each time or just keeping the hopper loaded and experimenting. For everyday use I went the latter route. The auto-tamper is a nice feature and steamer / wand is great. Some downsides: I would really like to have a removable grinder and or bean bin. My Magnifica had a side water tank and the water level was visible so I knew exactly how much was left just looking at the machine whether it was on or off. The Opera's water tank slides into the back of the machine and there is no visibility.

    Great Machine, I love how we can do ice coffee and espresso. Holds a good amount of beans so less refilling. My husband uses it daily- fresh & delicious every time. A bit more than I wanted to spend but is worth it- Machine has held up great.

    1st off I like it! It makes breat espresso and does this consistently. My only knock is the ease of use, but given this is a manual machine it has a learning curb to it. I would recommend to watch a view setup videos and some barista videos so you can learn what good espresso is lol unless you're not a novice . But in my opinion this one works better than the Breville. De'Longhi has step up there game.

    This is my second one. It works great. Brews much hotter than my first one. It works a little differently, so taking some time to get it all figured out.
