Bought as a spare now it’s the best . My more expensive machine took a dive and company left me hanging . Luckily I found a great price on a great brand. The machine is simple but creates a complex espresso and joe ever much hate the new style frother it makes a tight froth and I’m happy.

I have been making espresso and cappuccinos for over 15 years in everything from economical Mr. Coffee machines, which they no longer make, to very expensive Delonghis costing $1000! I am very impressed with this machine! It warms up within 2 minutes and makes very good espresso and the milk frother did an excellent job! I plan to use this as a travel espresso maker. I liked it so much, I purchased another just to have as a reserve!

This model has apparently been discontinued at the supplier, so I bought it (my second) from Walmart. It takes getting used to, but once you figure it out it works well with ESE pods (smaller than the Nescafe/Keurig pods) or with fresh-ground coffee. Good value for the money. I only make espresso, don't use the frother.

Makes delicious espressos, lattes and cappuccinos. Only complaint is the plastic scoop and tamper; very awkward to tamp. I definitely upgraded to a better tamper.

This is the third Delonghi espresso machine I’ve purchased. The first one similar to this lasted four years before it died. Then I had the double boiler model which I did not like. The hot water tank was too small for each boiler. It died after a year. I’ve tried other mfgrs and end up coming back to Delonghi. Even though they have an Italian name the products are made in China. I use alternative milks like coconut and such, and other machines just can’t froth it right. This one has no problem with it. I wish it had a timer to shut off the espresso automatically like some do. And I wish it didn’t have so much plastic coming in contact with your water. Both hot and cold water. Once you take out the basket on the portafilter the inside is plastic. And the entire water reservoir is plastic. Inside the steam wand is rubber. And those are just the parts you can see. The portafilter is difficult to turn to the correct place, even empty.

I have used only once so my experience with the machine could change later, but for now everything seems to be working fine. The only concern I have now is the speed. It seemed to take forever to get a cup of coffee. Nevertheless i’m willing to try more.

First time espresso user, so definitely takes some practice to get a hang of it. It does make a good cup of expresso, kinda like the coffee sold in the cafe shop. I like the one scoop portafilter, and I never can get the two scoop one right. Gosh, I wish I know how much grams it supposed to hold. The machine leaks some water in the tray which is annoying. We got it while it was on sale for a decent deal.

Not a very sturdy machine, feels like a toy. Does not make enough pressure for a good espresso and it’s manual pour so you have to guess when it’s at the end or it will start to basically turn into just hot water.

The water container keeps popping out, the first time it took me a good amount of time to figure out why the code is not pouring. I figured from the vibration that the machine makes the water container pops out of place, and you can not make coffee. Otherwise I saw advertisements the same machine comes with some extra stuff, but ours came just with the scoop and 3 different measurement cups for coffee

Taking it back . As soon as the water started to heat it leaked out all over the counter.
