 Great coffee and a good price January 22, 2004

At last we're paying the same price as the yanks!
Followed the instructions, and felt like I was in cafe. The espresso comes out thick and black (or lighter if you prefer) and the steamer actually makes really good froth. (Remember to use chilled milk). First cappucino I made was good - now just getting better at it and making better and better coffee.
The machine is also REALLY easy to clean. - Negative points - it's slightly noisy when the pump is going - but that's only 30 seconds so who cares. Well done Delonghi.
Neat machine, unbeatable at the price January 5, 2005

Neatest 15 bar machine in the budget price range and also the cheapest. Nicely made, simple to use, froths the milk nicely for cappuccino. Good sized water resevoir.Cheapest I've seen it on Amazon. Very happy with mine.
Not pretty, but excellent espresso November 12, 2006

I've had mine for about 12 months now. It may be ugly but if you use good espresso coffee and prepare it properly (in particular, it's vital to pre-heat the machine) you'll get excellent espresso with a great crema. The steam arm works fine, too. allowing you to make latte / cappuccino if you want.
I've had no problems with reliability either - I use filtered water to avoid limescale, which might help.
All in all - excellent value. If mine were to break down over the next year or so, I'd probably buy the same model again.

I think this machine is excellent. I have seen similar spec machines for three times the price. But newcomers need to realise that these machines need a certain degree of operator skill! It's a lot different to using a drip type filter machine. Firstly the coffee has to be selected carefully. It needs to be a rich roast (5) and needs to be ground for an expresso machine (i.e. ground to a fine powder), or you will end up with weak coffee. Starbucks will happily sell you freshly ground beans suitable for the purpose. The machine needs to be hot, the milk needs to be cold and in a shallow, wide jug, or it won't froth properly. Use fresh, clean water, as per the instructions. Don't leave the water in the machine for days on end - the carrier lifts out, so there is no excuse for tainted water as other people have mentioned! Finally, you need to get some suitable coffee cups. This is not designed for mugs. A serious machine for serious coffee drinkers on a budget.
It takes time to get it right, but when you do ... : ) July 16, 2007

First few times I used it I must confess that I wasn't happy with the result and was tempted to get back to my Moka pot! Then I found I needed to grind the beans much finer than before and heat the water for about 15-20 mins before making coffee. Once I found that out it was like I was using a different machine! The coffee is great, it takes up only a small amount of kitchen top and I've even given my old Moka pot to my sister! I'm really impressed with this cheap yet great little machine and would recommend it to anyone.
