Works well, we thought it had gone wrong as the on button would not stay on, so we arranged a replacement, but then it started working OK and when the replacement came it did the same. We think it’s the cleaning cycle you have to do before use upsets it a bit.

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.

This is a great machine. Looks and works very well. Set up easy. Super value

Great little machine, looks great and makes nice coffee. One star off as the drip tray is next to useless, stuff runs straight off it. Some little quirks like tends to airlock so you need to pull some water through steamer briefly, and it won’t stay switched on with the steam button in but that’s probably deliberate. Once you’ve worked that out you’re fine! All in all, pleased

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.

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.

After nearly a year of use, I have been quite impressed with this coffee maker. It produces espresso coffee close to the standards of a good commercial espresso maker (though obviously it can’t match it in terms of repeat delivery), and is fairly easy to clean. Using filtered water reduces rescaling needs too. Admittedly I don’t make cappuccinos often, but when I do it can produce very frothy milk too.

The unit is sometimes a bit prone to the handle unit occasionally getting blocked, so regularly using a pin to ensure the base is free of blockage is a good idea. Beyond that, I really can’t fault it thus far.

Present for my husband. He locenit bit non of us can use it, only the kids…. says lots for my generation!

I was surprised how good this machine is , well money spe

For many years, I had previously owned a more basic DeLonghi coffee maker and this time decided to upgrade. I was not disappointed. I love the styling. The machine makes a hotter and richer flavoured cappucino than my previous model so I am using a smaller amount of ground coffee. The milk frother is very effective. Criticisms are that I like to use the steamer to warm my cup and get rid of the water that issues from the nozzle initially – otherwise it dilutes the milk. The steamer nozzle spits a bit at first and even when using a deep cup, can splatter steam on your hand. The ground coffee container is difficult to dismantle and wash. I have to use pliers to grip the rubber tab that you need to tug to pull it apart. But all in all, a good buy and I’ve found ways of getting round the slight disadvantages.

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.

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.

This is great, if you like a strong expresso. It’s so easy to use and the quality is just fantastic. Definitely recommend it I’m 120% happy with i

Oooo. This is what I spouse to do long time ago!! I had Zelmer coffee machine and my coffee wasn’t too good. My friend recommended this machine . Perfect!! Coffee perfect, delicious! Recommend!

solid built machine, makes great coffee , only thing that makes me want to get up in the mornings

I am fussy about espresso coffee and often disappointed by the quality of some espresso coffee sold in some high street coffee shops. I bought this model because it did very well in the ‘Which?’ survey. I am pleased to say that it makes very good espresso. I have this four stars because of one slight fault. There is a wire collar that sits inside the handle that holds the small bowl of ground espresso. The wire is there to provide a bit of tension, so that it can clip in and out. The problem is that after a few Montalbanos (the unit of measure for a number of espressos, based on the average number of espressos Inspector Montalbano drinks in a single episode. Don’t try it as an espresso drinking game – you may very well kill yourself) the wire starts to play up and you have to fiddle with it. I ended up just taking it out and putting it away – the system can work without it. Whoever designed that part might need to rethink it. But don’t let that minor point deter you. After all, Italian design can sometimes be a combination of the sublime and the questionable: look at their cars. This machine is a great price and the espressos are very good.

Had this coffee machine for several months now and it’s brilliant. This was our first machine, I did a fair amount of research prior to this purchase and it hasn’t disappointed. It was really easy to set up and we now use it daily. We make mostly lattes and cappuccinos. As it’s espesso machine the space under is limited for a normal sized mug but I just use a ramekin and pour the coffee into desired cup then add the steamed milk. I use illy ground coffee and this gives a really nice taste. I think it looks really nice as well, it’s not too big and the colour is lovely.

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.

Excellent machine. The only missing ingredient is that one needs to use an anticalcaire solution that does not accompany the machine (it should).

I can’t use it, but otehrs in the family make delicious coffees. I can only get lukewarm milky stuff out of it..

Bought as a present and hubby enjoys the coffee. Only surprise was that the machine doesn’t stop by itself. We have to press the button to stop it.

A great machine. Like any good machine it is as consistent as you are in your preparation. If you use the same grind and pack it down using the tamper the same way you get the same result. I did find out after ringing De’Longhi that there is a safety cut off if you try to turn on the machine with the steamer button pressed in. It makes sense to have the safety feature but I couldn’t find it written in the documentation.

Nice looking machine but have had difficulty getting the coffee frothy like our old De’Longhi machine.

Very effective provided you are fastidious by following sequences; how much time to allow coffee to enter cup; to froth milk at the right temperature; keeping cups hot and combining coffee and milk. The solution was easy I asked an italian barista. Now no problem. Don’t be fooled by the Maker’s Name…it’s made in China (like many items superficially purporting to be European.
