Makes gorgeous coffee, would recommend using espresso blend or other finely ground coffee, not the fastest on the market and you need patience, but the end result is really worth every penny. Looks great, build quality is pretty good and it’s easy to keep clean.
The cup warmer on top is a nice extra touch.
My third DeLonghi. Bought for a friend. Had to send back because faulty but replacement arrived following day( before posting faulty one) Love this as the previous ones l had ! It will be my next purchase when my 4 years old machine will need replacing….still going strong though!
Thank you for excellent service Amazon.

I love this machine, it looks beautiful, makes great coffee and is easy to use once you get used to it BUT this sounds basic but you need to switch the steam button off after use. The light comes on, you use your steam, the light is off, So you assume it is off, you switch off the machine and next time you go to use it, it doesn’t work. Power button keeps switching off and it appears to be broken. All you need to do is push the steam button back off. I don’t think this is that clear. Anyhoo, once this dawned on me all good, love it.
Having owned a Francis Francis X1 for 20+ years that has finally given up the ghost (but is potentially still repairable) I was somewhat reluctant to go down the De’Longhi route however I am impressed so far; especially regarding the price.
I always use Caffe Illy or Monmouth Coffee Co. pre ground coffee. The Scultura produces an excellent espresso with a really decent crema. The milk frother is also pretty effective, much more so with full fat milk rather than semi-skimmed. Things have definitely moved on since the late 90’s but it will be interesting to see whether the De’Longhi does 20 years service.
Positives:
1. Produces a great espresso and cappucino
2. Relatively inexpensive
3. Lived up to the Which? review
4. Seems quite well made and sturdy
Negatives:
1. Quite difficult to tap the coffee out of the holder
2. The auto switch off is a bit annoying as it cuts out too quickly as I would like to warm cups on top.
3. Not enough room on top to store 4 Italian style cappucino cups which there was on the X1
4. Drips from the steamer however I think most machines do.
As a former barista I’ve really been missing being able to make my own coffee the way I like it, so decided to treat myself! Got it for 100 and it was definitely worth it, you do have to get the right type of barista style milk jug to get a good microfoam to make latte art or more complicated milk based drinks like a flat white or macchiato. But the steam wand has some good power, not as great as a professional machine but definitely excellent for the money.
The espresso runs really well and smooth, I’ve had no issues with my drinks tasting like plastic I’ve noticed some people complain about.
It’s really straight forward to use and although I haven’t needed to properly descale it yet, it cleans pretty easily. Definitely a good addition to the kitchen and would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quality coffee in their own house. The only issue I had was it turning off immediately when I first opened it, but that issue seems to have resolved itself so no more complaints.
Ignore the reviews saying It turns off immediately, that only happens if the steam button is still pressed from the last time you use it.

. The coffee is fantastic and that is the only thing that matters. We paid 130 for this so it was definitely worth our. This is the second machine I have had we got 6 years out of the last one so that is the only criticism not long lasting but a great buy overall

First one didn’t work and had to be returned. However, the replacement was received quickly and it produces lovely drinks!
it has been almost a year since i bought this machine. It is still working perfectly.
Really happy with it.
Although some ground coffee brands i buy from coffee shops, blocks the machine. I guess they grind it too thin for the machine. But when i asked them they said that this is the standard isze for espresso machines.
Anyway, all the brands buying from the supermarket work fine. illy, lavazza etc
Great coffee machine. The only thing I would improve is being able to extend the milk foamier further out.
fort one was faulty – but amamzon were super helpful and even directly contacted delonghi for me to try and resolve – once realsied it was fauly they had a new item snet out and arrive dnext day – cant complain new item works perfect – as a newbie took a few practises to get right but now im cooking on gas! love it!
I never write reviews but this is absolutely brilliant, only flaw is the instructions are pretty rubbish but it’s easy to operate
Some people commented that it keeps auto switching off. That happens when the steam button is depressed and you’re trying to pour coffee. Just make sure the steam button is off and problem solved.
The first one had to go back with a faulty switch, but Amazon were brilliant. I had a new one the following day. This one has worked brilliantly. We can make superb coffees now with this machine. Once I get the hang of the frother it will be even better. It’s me that’s the problem with frothing, not the machine, but I’m getting there and my Coffee Art is improving. But the taste of the coffee is wonderful. There is a minor niggle with the wand dripping for 5 minutes after I have used it but that’s not a problem. You can just swing it inwards & anything that drips out is caught in the tray. To sum up. this is a fantastic machine that produces barista quality coffee at an extremely reasonable price through Amazon. We absolutely love it.
Cant fault it so far, easy to use, easy to clean, lovely coffee. Only slight downside is the the height between the drip tray and where the coffee comes out, and getting glasses under it. We use it without the drip tray.
Not a professional machine, but for a cheap ish (look for the great warehouse deals) this is not a bad little coffee machine. Do not grind your coffee too fine – it blocks it and the handle will break.
Great. Champagne colour is gorgeous & looks chic. Very easy to use. Instructions are clear. A small mug will fit under the dispenser but a standard size will not. I am pleased with this purchase.
Coffee produced is very good but slow to heat up & does not maintain temperature for long.
This is a good all-round coffee maker. The design is nice but it could do with being a bit heavier as when you attach the dispensing arm the machine has a tendency to shift a little but it’s no big deal.
One downside to this machine is the space underneath the dispensing arm once it’s attached only allows for an espresso sized cup to be placed beneath the arm. This means to make e.g. a latte you’ll need to either dispense the coffee into a smaller cup and transfer to a bigger one or remove the drainage grill to fit the bigger cup underneath. For the price though, it’s a small inconvenience…
One thing to note is the water tank is quite large so if you’re only having one cup of coffee a day there’s no point filling the tank to the max. Only mention this cause water is a foodstuff and shouldn’t be left standing for too long.
Overall quite impressed so far with two months use.
Makes great coffee… would be 5stars but it’s a bit tricky to clean the water container, the steamer drips when not being used and I need to hold the espresso cup to catch the coffee or the vibrations make the cup slide off the base… looks great and seems well made
It does the job, but a bit of a rickety sound when dispensing. Tends to run out of steam, but if you run the water again and press for steam it gets pressure back.
The distance between tray and dispenser isnt high enough… So you can only get a short cup under and not a mug. That’s the only annoying factor really.
This is my first home espresso machine, and will definitely be upgrading eventually. I consider this very entry level device.
I don’t know what I every did before I got this machine! It’s easy to use, takes a little practice the first few times but after that – perfect coffee every time. You’ll soon get used to cleaning and using the different parts to get the best out of this machine. Well worth the money.
Looks great and doesn’t take up too much room , and more importantly it makes a good espresso and steams well , good value for money !
Great little machine. I love it.
I wanted a machine to get away from those awful pod machines that have so much package waste and are never quite hot enough.
I know this machine takes pods too but just to use the exact amount of loose coffee each time is great and the results are consistently good.
I wish I’d got a couple more of these for family members in the sale – hopefully next time!
Nice looking machine. Easy to use. Milk froth disappears quickly when added to the coffee. Previous Delonghi was much better.
Easy to use. Does what you want it to. Easy to clean.
Water reservoir in the back prone to mould build up and the strainer often pops off the game due. Can’t fit large cups in.

I got this for my wife for Christmas, she’s not used her bialetti since, I got a separate grinder as a perfect companion. It’s easy to use, quick to heat and I now use the frother for anything I put milk into. Would definitely recommend
We use this machine at least 3 times per day. It’s great but I don’t believe with this amount of use that I’ll get a year out of it. The buttons are completely faded already and some mornings it’s doesn’t want to work meaning I waste a lot of coffee.
For the money it’s fanatic but I would consider buying a top of the range due to the amount we use it.
Also when setting it up for the first time it’s really confusing to get it started.
I think if your new to coffee machines you’ll love.

This is my third unit in 3 years. two previous units failed. Still impressed though as the coffee is so good.
Machine is easy to use and easy to clean – bearing in mind that we have only used the pods with it, not the loose coffee. The champagne is a lovely colour. The milk spout is a bit short, so a 500ml jug does not easily reach a smaller amount of milk.
Replaced the same model I have had for some years, much improved machine!
Just a brief point – when you switch on the machine, if the cut out keeps switching the machine off – MAKE SURE THAT THE OTHER BUTTONS ARE NOT DEPRESSED. It sounds obvious but it’s not always easy to see this. It’s mentioned on the deLonghi site but would be helpful in the instruction booklet.
Bought this for my husband for Christmas and the first one we had went back as the milk frother was constantly dripping however the second one has been great and it makes really good coffee! Customer service through Amazon was excellent also. My husband says it’s the best Christmas present he’s had!
I got this for my parents for Christmas, they hate pods but wanted an espresso machine, and they were really pleased with it. The look of it is great, unassuming and can go in just about any colour scheme, it also had very good levels of crema on the coffee. Overally very good!
I bought this for my partner after he got very in to coffee. We started with a pod machine and I decided to invest in this as we had the matching toaster and kettle. He absolutely loves it, it is simple to use although slightly annoying removing the tray to use a bigger cup and saves fortune by not using pods.
Can be slightly loud but to be expected really.
As someone addicted to flat whites I wanted a machine capable of making one. Having read all the reviews here and elsewhere I went for this one. A year later I am still pleased with it. In use twice a day, consistent results. My only recommendation to other users is to make them one at a time, there is not enough power in the steamer to froth enough milk for two coffees but perfectly adequate for one. I tell my guests each coffee is handcrafted, it takes a few minutes to make each one but it’s worth it.
Takes a little while to use for the first few times but you get used to it. Makes a really good cup of joe and the milk frother works very well too.
Not an expert but I think at this price point you would struggle to find a better machine.
Bought this for my husband. Initially we thought it was broken as we were unable to complete the cleaning cycle… that was until I realised two of the buttons have been attached the wrong way round. Works fine ever since but I’ve removed a star as a result.
Makes great coffee and has a good safety feature that prevents the machine from heating to steaming temperature if you forget to switch the steamer off between uses.

basic on/off switch, no pre-selected cup size so you have to watch it filling. slight rattle of the drip tray when making coffee, but these are minor when compare against the excellent machine. Lavazza coffee works well.
Have been using this for little over a week and can say I’ve figured it completely out now and am loving it. Bought it on offer and am so pleased!
Nice coffee! For better results pay attention to the preheating stage. Operate it without coffee and then add coffee.
I like the design of the machine as it sits out all the time it’s important it looks good. I find it easy to clean, the drip tray is large so only gets emtied every couple of weeks. The coffee is among the best I have made at home and certainly easier than an airopress. The tamper included is rubbish and got replaced aftet the first use. To make milky coffee I recommend buying a steel jug and thermometer.
Excellent product and quiet to use. There is a knack to taking apart the metal cup that holds the coffee but it doesn’t have to be taken apart each time
Replaced an older de Longhi. makes very good coffee but is more expensive on Amazon than some other vendors – we needed it quickly. Also compared to previous model there is no built in “tamper” for packing down the coffee, it is a separate bit of plastic which is less convenient. However, much quieter than previous model.

I bought this machine as I dislike using a pod machine from the amount of plastic waste they produce. It also allows you to pick the brand of coffee you like.
The machine is simple to use, quick to heat up and easy to clean. It also has the benefit of looking great on a worktop.
Never written a review before but seen as I always check reviews I may as well give something back. Great product! I read complaints about it dripping after use… well yeah it does but into a removable tray, that “you guessed it” you can remove and empty into the sink and if it still drips just remove coffee filter, rinse it and dry. Job done!
If I had 1 tip, I find that using the milk frother after I’ve made an americano helps to bring up the temperature and keep it hotter for longer.

Worked reliably once I had mastered the mysteries of espresso and cappuccino coffees.
I took out the extra cover for 12 too which makes me feel happy to own it in the long term knowing any issues highlighted here are covered.
Stylish looking and super easy to use. Still yet to master how to make the perfect coffee, but the machine itself is superb! It was noisy for the first cup of coffee as stated in the instructions; but thereafter it’s been smoothly running. The coffee was hot with beautiful crema, taste wonderful! I feel like a barista at home 🙂
Really nice little machine for the money. Solid and functional. Great coffee brewer with powerful steamer. So far so good but would certainly recommend it against some of the other junk out there !
Overall would rate it 8/10 great value for money and can make coffee just like from cafes. So I would recommend it.
Few more things, it is designed to be used with small espresso cups, so you just pour the coffee shots into whatever mug you want later (depending on what drink your making).

Machine feels sturdy and well made. No leaks or chafing which some other brands have had. Drip tray is excellent with no excess eaping underneath.
Fantastic machine
Beautiful coffee maker, makes great coffee and easy to use, has pride of place in our kitche

A good coffee machine overall, but the white ink on the buttons has faded in a few weeks of usage.
There is a flaw that many reviewers have picked up on – water drips from the milk heater – but I am so pleased with the coffee that I am happy to spend 5 seconds wiping up a minor puddle of water each day.
3 months later – still working fine. Symbol on the buttons have worn off with light use..
I can’t use it, but otehrs in the family make delicious coffees. I can only get lukewarm milky stuff out of it..
A really good coffee maker. It lives up to people’s high rating of it. My only criticism is that there is no way to increase the size of the shots, but I guess that is true of all similar machines.
Does what it says on the tin,makes good coffee,heats milk up well and does it fairly quickly.
You need to try different coffees to find what you like best.My partner likes the espresso this
machine makes while I think the cappuccino is pretty good.
