Wife hates it
Bought this for my wife as a Christmas present and she says she is having a lot of trouble with the attachments not fitting properly and cannot make it do what she needs it to due to the design.

So far so good
I bought this for my husband for Christmas! I’m only giving it 4 stars because he just started setting it up, so we aren’t really sure how it works yet! He did use the grinder and it was quiet compared to other grinders we’ve used, which is a huge plus. Overall look is really sleek and looks nice sitting on my counter!

Wanted to Love It
Iv heard such amazing things about this machine, but just after 3 uses I already have to descale it which includes ordering a specific liquid. Pretty frustrating after only a couple of uses.

Good machine
Good espresso with freedom of choosing coffee no recurring cost of pods or sachet but the frother is not doing its work I don’t know if it’s something that I m not getting or it’s just not up to the mark

1st espresso machine
This is my 1st espresso machine. Took me a while to get the grinding and brewing just right, and now I make a perfect cup every time! So worth the purchase!

Espresso like at home (Italy)
This machine makes great espresso. It takes a little of try and error but the results are worth the effort. As an Italian in US, I do feel like I’m having “caffè e cappuccino come al bar”.

Best Espresso machine
Best Espresso Machine with the price. I love making my own coffee so I decided to buy semi automatic. Coffee quality is great. Handy, easy to clean and look amazing at my coffee bar.

Great milk drink instructions for De’Longi espresso machine
Super helpful to have 3D instructions to figure out how to operate this coffee machine. It really feels like it’s worth the high price, on top of all the cool automated barista functions the machine has. It’s like having your own private Starbucks in your kitchen

My friend EVO
I’ve just upgraded the DeLongi Bambino I had become my trusted coffee buddy, never failing to present me with quality coffee the past 4years. I purchased the DeLongi Magnifica EVO because I have one in my office and I just had to have my own EVO at home.

Water Softness Light Not Clear If Top or Bottom is for Soft Water
Didn’t know what light for soft — the top light or the bottom light. Had to watch Tom‘s Coffee video for that
