  Loving this machine over my Breville’s

  I didn’t think I could switch from a Breville and be happy with an espresso machine, but this was on a good sale and this model “fixed” all the complaints in reviews of the previous versions of it. So wow, what a difference in making an excellent morning espresso and having little to no mess! My Breville grinder in machine always spewed grinds somewhere on the counter and what it didn’t spill I did during tamping. This machine is so much easier to keep the counter clean and to date every cup has been great! Just beginning to explore all the options of cold brews etc, the tea option for a quick cup of boiling water also great. DeLonghi has won me over! Great machine!

  Treat yourself

  Really enjoying this machine! Love the level of control and the features - just the right balance. Grind, tamp. Switch. Pull the shot. Perfect if you want to create your own little coffee ritual.Amazing espressos, americanos and coffees - haven’t tried the cold brews - just yet. Beautiful crema on your shot. Can adjust for different beans - guide will keep you on track. Milk steamer works great for cappuccino’s (and a nice foamy milk for hot chocolate for the kids). It has a decent range of motion and is insulated.A little intimidating when you first unbox - but was an easy setup. YouTube videos from deLonghi were very helpful. Pay attention to the instructions on the water hardness test. The filter’s pop out with just your nail - but doesn’t feel like it will the first time.Recommend getting the knock box for the full experience.

  La ópera specialista

  Muy buen producto y adecuada calidad de las extracciones de espresso, como todas estas máquinas semi-automáticas tienen una curva de aprendizaje, que conforme la vas usando más mejorando tu experiencia barista

  10 de 10 suuuper recomendable

  Espectacular! Tengo un mes con ella y hacemos entre 5 y 8 cafés diarios. Es fácil de usar. Al principio estaba entre una automática y esta, pero usé la automática en casa de un conocido y no me gustó, parece más endeble y siento que las partes de la construcción pueden dar más lata. La siento más de plástico toda y esta es más robusta y aunque tiene varios sensores que posiblemente a futuro pueden dar lata. En cuanto a construcción es muy buena. Antes de comprarla pensé que sería complicado enseñarle a mi esposa a espumar la leche por lo que compré un espumador aparte. Hoy me di cuenta que no se necesita. Es demasiado fácil y nada complejo y fácilmente aprendieron a usarlo en casa. Es espectacular y con la configuración de fábrica está perfecto para tazas y estándares. Solo ajusta la cantidad de café y listo. Y para los carajillos es una excelente opción la del face frío. Quedan muy buenos. Mi suegro tiene una de gama un poquito más baja y mi cuñada la especialista de hace dos años y todas son excelentes pero esta nos encantó!

  Satisfied

  I used a Nespresso machine using original pods for 6 years. Recently the pod prices have gone up crazy and I decided to buy an espresso machine. Since the machines are expensive for me I researched for 2 weeks and bought this one.I have never used a manual espresso machine before so I was struggling to find the right taste of coffee for me. I wasted almost half of a bag of coffee beans. I am not 100% sure this coffee tastes better than the Nespresso pod but I am sure that the espresso cool and cold brew is soooo good. I will buy another coffee bean next time and try if the taste is way different.I like that I can use hot water from this. The milk frother is also good. I can make hot milk pretty fast and easy to use.So far so good.

  Don’t spend you money

  I reported four days after it arrived that the tamper wasn't working, it was leaking water from the bottom, and the frothing nozzle wasn't working and was making a noise. Even so, I requested a refund, but Amazon wouldn't allow it. First, they said I couldn't return the coffee maker for security reasons, and second, they said the packaging arrived in perfect condition. But they don't understand that the damage wasn't caused by the delivery; the machine was defective. Now I've lost almost $700 down the drain.

  Worth the money.

  I’m have no experience on machines like this one. It was so simple to set up and use. I did switch to recommend coffee. I love love this maker. The expresso is fantastic. No more mess stay clean all the time. Nice and hot coffee. Beautiful in my kitchen.
