    Once you get the hang of it you wont be spending money at coffee shops. It does have a learning curve that can be overcome with practice and youtube. I have 2 gripes. I am not a fan of the plastic components on the machine; it can feel cheap. The bean hopper on top cannot be taken off without having to spill the beans. The milk frother is amazing and the boot up time is super fast.

    Very good machine, bought for my uncle's family as Christmas gift and he LOVED it! A little different from my Breville machine & takes some time to get familiar with, then he is using it at least twice a day. Very happy the machine is a perfect match. BTW, it has a built-in tamping feature which is very convenient.

    Love my new espresso machine. I had another De'Longhi machine but this one go beyond. The previous machine I spend $300 and this machine was almost $900 yet you sure can tell the difference. If you want an amazing espresso or cappuccino? This is the machine as good as $5000 machines

    I have had this for over a month and I love it! I make espressos, latte , americano and coffee. I like the built in tamping arm. If you forget to tamp you can cheat by switching off the power and tamp that way the grinder does not over fill Overall very pleased

    The espresso machine is Excellent! It's been used to make espressos, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. It's a significant upgrade from our previous Moka Pot. I hesitated for a while due to the expensive price, but this is a quality machine that will be used for months/years to come.

    This is a great espresso machine. We had been looking for an espresso machine to keep us away from the mermaids and this has done the trick. Dare I say our brew are superior to the mermaids. Buy good beans and this little guy will not disappoint.

    Great value for your money. Has some settings which make the machine not work well. You can overfill the ground espresso, for instance, which can essentially shut the machine down. But when you have it calibrated well, it works beautifully.

    I think this is a great machine. If buyer is able, spend 200 more and get the successor to this machine because it takes care of several cons of this machine. Example, not being able to take the bean caddy off without the beans falling out. When removing the grind cleaning hatch, it will scratch the chrome on bean caddy as well as remove grinders #'s. De'Longhi is aware of these flaws and corrected them.

    Broke inside of 90 days!!! In my secind machine!!! After trying to set up the first one that didn’t work I got the second machine to work and coffee was good. But in 60 days it was wanting me to descale so I did and not it is stuck in descale mode OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again and no way to get it back working again. I think I am going back to buying Breville that I wanted to begin with.

    Love this machine, just be on top of cleaning it so the grinder doesn't clog. Makes excellent coffee. Use a DRY bean. Like Lavazza Super Crema.

    We love our delonghi. We don’t need to spend on Starbucks anymore. We feel like we have our own barista 24/7. The convenience is to die for and the quality of coffee each time is so precise. Am in love
