Perfect cappuccino machine

I love this machine. It is well designed for eveyday use. Cleaning is a snap with the removable tray, and nozzle. I can't get over how strong the steam is...my milk triples in volume effortlessly and the foam is thick and dense. It operates noiselessly. I am also surprised at how quickly it heats up, brews and steams.
Cooking.com is wonderful as well. Mine shipped with a broken arm on the water tank. Cooking.com sent out a replacement and I had it within a few days. They were pleasant and efficient to do business with. I have already recommended the maker and Cooking.com to friends!

An excellent product

I received this expresso maker about 2 weeks ago and have been very pleased with it. It is easy to use, sturdily constructed and was well priced. I have recommended it to a friend who has ordered it and has been as satisfied as I have been.

multi-purpose and effective

We bought the espresso maker for the espresso (obviously), but it also does a great job steaming milk, soy milk, rice milk, etc. We can make the world's best hot chocolate as easily as we can an americano.

Espesso machine by DeLonghi

I was very hesitant when I purchased this product but so far I love it. It works beautifully, makes wonderful frothy milk and is a breeze to clean. I had a higher end product prior and I think this little machine is comparable!

Excellent machine.

This espresso machine is easy to use, low maintenance, and an outstanding value for the price. I have made outstanding lattes, cappuccinos, shots and more, much to the amazement of my friends.

I highly recommend this machine.

This makes excellent espresso.Our previous DeLongnhi machine lasted over 15 years,so we've been impressed by the brand.

Excellent espresso machine

I love this machine; it makes an incredibly creamy and rich espresso. If you like espresso or good quality cappuccino, you will love it, too. You will instantly forget about buying your coffee.

We haven't used the cappuccino option yet, but the espresso is very easy. The machine was a gift to my husband, who is often appliance challenged. Using it is a breeze for him. The machine is solid and compact. I chose this model after reading other reviews. I'm happy with my choice.

A great machine at a great price. Definitely worth the money.

It makes good espresso but I had trouble foaming the milk for capuccino. 1st time I used it, it bubbled over, splashed everything and still didn't make the cream.
Other tries have been a little more successful although it makes cream only with part of the milk, the bottom remains liquid. Am I doing something wrong? Please help!

good espresso machine for the price, lots of crema, steam could be stronger but im sure thats what the really expensive machines have that this doesnt, i would buy it again..

Great product, GREAT price!

We needed an espresso maker for our daughter's boyfriend - I never imagined I could get such a great one for $100! He loves it and thinks we spent a fortune! I highly recommend it.

Bang for your Buck

Delonghi's home espresso machine is definitely one of the best ones out there. I did a lot of shopping around and review reading for I chose this machine, and I'm ecstatic about my choice. Although the manual recommends waiting 15 minutes for both the brewer and the frother to warm up, they can do the job adequately after 5 minutes of warm-up, which is pretty impressive for a home espresso maker. For less than 200 bucks, you can't get a better espresso machine!

The only downsides to this machine is that it's far lighter than it looks (it's mostly plastic, so when you're trying to place the portafilter in the machine it moves around). Reviews did warn that this was an issue, but I bit the bullet and despite the weirdness of not using a 2 ton espresso machine, I'm very happy with my choice. The only other thing I don't like is that the machine seems to extract a bit too fast. I've tried grinding the beans a bit larger and filling the portafilter more, but it hasn't done anything. If you guys have suggestions, let me know.

Hubby loves expresso!

My husband just loves espresso. I am a coffee girl, myself, so I never really understood his passion, but he had another machine, and it was temperamental. Finally, a plastic part just cracked in two pieces, and we had spent a lot more than I spent on this replacement machine. This machine works very well, froths like crazy, and is generally much preferred over the other. I am glad the other one broke!

Good value

We bought this for our son who is in college and actually works at a coffee house. He is quite pleased with the DeLonghi. It is fairly easy to use and makes great coffee.

Very easy to operate and the espresso's and latte's taste great.

Frother stick could be a bit longer

This is a great cappuchino maker. I have found that preheating for 15 minutes does help in getting a better espresso. That is a long time but I've sometimes left it on continuously on preheat for several hours through the day and just keep making espressos. I use Illy ESE pods and the ones from the Starbucks store. That is a whole lot cleaner and easier to use than tamping in canned espresso powder (Alessi brand). This replaced a Jura Capresso that was 6 yrs. old and finally conked out. I am happy with my purchase. I do hope it lasts (have only had it about 1 month). Delonghi products are notorius for lasting 1 yr. only.

Great Value!

This is a great value. I am impressed with this machine and the price is unbelievable. The only draw back is to make sure it is warmed up before you start the process.

Econo Espresso

What a nice little machine! Using a seperately purchased tamper the results from this little gem is terrific. I originally wanted to get the Breville Barrista but got sticker shock. After seeing all the great reviews on this machine I made the purchase. WOW what a nice cup of espresso. The crema is wonderful and this baby heats up fast. I'm going to get another one for my office!

This machine makes excellent expresso with a creamy top foam (crema) every time. It also foams milk very quickly for capuccino. I couldn[t be more plaeased. For the price this is unbeatable. Delivery was prompt and efficient.
