I purchased this model to replace a Delonghi purchased 5 years ago (it had gone beyond its useful life I believe). Love this new new. Love the compact design and filter storage . I especially love the frothy crema! I'm having a little trouble with inserting and removing the filters. I've been placing the filter holder on a flat surface and pressing the filter in place with the flat of my hand. I tried fingers first and caught skin. Removing them is tricky. Sometimes they fall out when I hang out the puck. Other than using my nails or a knife, I can't determine who to remove the filter. My old delonghi had a little lever that I flipped to hold the filter in place when I banged out the puck. This feature is gone. It made filter removal effortless. I'd appreciate any insights on removing the filters from the holder. Thanks.
