I've been wanting this type of espresso maker for years and I love it. They versatility of making coffee and an espresso…awesome. The espresso turns out great for a novice. The steamer works perfectly, easy to clean. Well worth the money. It's perfect for home use.

Purchased this for my boyfriend for his birthday as his other one died on us. It fit perfectly where the other one was and had a little bit more room. He usually makes the drinks but this has brought back out that barista I once was. Would highly recommend this machine.

Here’s my honest review of my new Delonghi coffee/espresso machine. The machine is very easy to use. Brewing a pot of coffee is a little noisy but it’s got a built in filter, though I still use a cone filter as well because it’s easier to clean it out. The water for the coffee gets poured into right next to the filter then you close it up and push on for it to start brewing. You can program this to start at a specific time but I’ve not done that yet. The espresso side, there’s a water compartment in the back left side that easily comes out for cleaning or filling up. There are two buttons in the front on the espresso side. The top is pressed to have the heated water to come down through the espresso. I’m learning how to put the gadget/handle into the machine that has the espresso in it. It has to go in a specific way and tightens just so. With time I’ll better figure the correct way to do it. The second button underneath the first is for the steaming wand at the side. You push that button and there’s a turn dial on the side you use to steam your milk. So I’m happy with it and in time it’ll be easier to do my espresso drinks. 😁👍

It works great. However, my husband opened it on the 26th for Christmas, only used it once and a piece of plastic on the side of the espresso grate broke off. It will still work fine, but I was disappointed in the money I spent on the machine to already have a piece break off. I have a picture of the piece and where it came from on the machine

Doesn't get hot enough. Coffee gets hot, but not as hot as I like. The espresso doesn't get anywhere near hot enough. You follow directions, but barely warm.

This is the 3 expresso/coffee pot I have bought from this company. The model has changed from the previous one. The expresso water holder is for multiple cups. That water dispenser leaks into an overflow trap. If you don't keep an eye on it, it overflows to your counter. The coffee holder is 2/3 smaller than the previous model. You can't make your coffee as strong as before. I often wonder why they change models for the worse.

Can't count on auto setting for drip coffee because the clock rarely stays set for longer than a couple hours. Sometimes can't make drip coffee at all because red lights come on and drip stops working. This happened with my last DeLonghi coffee maker after a few years. With this one it only took a couple months.

The coffee maker worked great for a week then the steamer started not working or only working for a couple seconds. After two weeks there is now a burning smell coming from the machine. I am so disappointed because I love how the machine looks on my counter.

Made good regular coffee but espresso was not acceptable.

I love the machine but unfortunately I'm rating it 2 stars because the caffe keeps leaking every time I pour my coffee.
