[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great entry level espresso machine for someone just getting into espresso. It has the basic components one needs to brew some espresso with nothing extra. This is not a higher end thousand dollar espresso machine and it's important to keep that in mind. It's good for someone who wants to get comfortable with the process of espresso making. However just because it isn't the best machine, does not mean that this couldn't be someone's end game if they wanted to. If you want to see if you like making espresso but don't want to break the bank, give this a try

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely obsessed with this machine. I have used it every single day since I've received it and it's very user-friendly and easy to use. If you're a fan of espresso, I highly recommend this! I used to only use a Moka pot, but this creates such a smooth, robust shot of espresso that's not acidic or has any grounds in it, that I'll never return to my Moka pot. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If your an espresso & cappuccino enthusiast like myself you need the DeLonghi Espresso and cappuccino maker. It comes with a steam wand for frothing milk for lattes, cappuccinos and much more! The best part is I no longer need to wait in the long lines at the coffee shop for authentic expresso!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Influenster and DeLonghi for this beauty. I love how the espresso tastes and it matches my chrome and black appliances in the kitchen. It has a nice clean design to it that is pretty compatible with anything and I find it easy to use with the simple dial. The milk foam makes a nice creamy layer on top, yum! I think this machine makes espressos that can compare to cafe espressos, maybe I'm biased haha but I love it so far. A huge plus—clean up is easy also!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With the DeLonghi Manual Espresso Maker I am able to make all of my favorite coffee shoppe beverages for a fraction of the cost in my own home. I was a little nervous about using the machine for the first time. There are so many features and I thought it would be complicated. But, it is so easy to make great tasting Espresso based coffees in just a few minutes. I am very fond of hot mocha lattes. DeLonghi showed me, with detailed pictures, how to run the machine and make my own delicious latte. The machine comes with a single and double shot filter. So on mornings that I wake up still groggy, I go for the double shot. And when my husband is home. I can make 2 espressos at one time so we can enjoy them together. There is also a larger removable water tank. Making it easy to make a very large coffee or 2 regular sized coffees on a single fill. And enough extra water to steam/froth your milk. I now have so much fun making specialty coffees for myself, my family, and my friends. And, I'm getting pretty good at using the machine and can give my batista a run for his money.. This is a very nice Espresso Maker and I am still learning about all of the neat functions.and features like the cup warmer, and that I can use an ESE pod in the filter too. DeLonghi put a lot of thought into this machine so we can make high quality, great tasting specialty coffees in the comfort of home.

The Delonghi manual espresso machine is a fantastic addition to my kitchen. Nice stainless steel design, it not only looks great but also easy to use This machine allows you to create espressos that suit your taste . the frother creates rich and creamy foam for lattes and cappuccinos. .The smaller size makes it ideal for smaller kitchens, without sacrificing performance. Very user-friendly design of the Delonghi manual espresso machine makes it incredibly easy to operate. Considering its performance, durability, and value for money, this espresso machine is a standout option. If you're looking for a reliable and efficient espresso machine the Delonghi manual espresso machine is a great choice. I bit confusing when first setting up but a breeze once i got the hang of it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I simply love my espresso machine! It's compact so it doesn't take up a lot of room on your kitchen counter which is awesome. This morning I made me and my mate a cup of espresso and it turned out so good and it was easy to clean up afterwards. Can't wait try some different flavors and I want to plan on making some cappuccino tomorrow but how my espresso turned out I know it's going to taste just as great. Try out this machine I know you will love it too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first experience using an espresso machine and I have to say it wasn't too hard. Works great and makes awesome espresso. Nice clean look and doesn't take up too much room on my counter. We use it all the time and love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely perfect espresso machine for my family and I. For the price point, it makes an excellent latte / cappuccino. I would 100% recommend this machine if you're looking for something with good value that makes good espresso.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy this espresso maker. It makes a nice drink and the frother works well too. The only issue is that you have to hover the entire process since it's completely manual. It's a nice machine but I would upgrade to one that doesn't have to be watched the entire time.
