Small but mighty Espresso Machine
This little espresso machine is compact yet powerful. It heated up quickly and delivered an absolutely delicious cappuccino! The steamer was efficient and easy to clean I would definitely recommend this espresso maker to others!

Great Entry Level De’longhi
Great entry level De’longhi espresso machine, easy to use and makes a good cup of coffee. However if you’re a serious coffee person you’ll probably want to end up upgrading to a more advanced models with extra features like built in grinder and multiple coffee styles.

2nd Delonghi
Love this new machine, makes excellent cappuccinos. My only complaint is it takes a bit before the frother is ready, after brewing shots. Other than that, it’s an excellent machine.

The Perfect Perk!
WOW! So excited to have this one! A name that you can rely on when it comes to coffee. The smooth, consistent flow using the expresso side, while pre-heating the the steamer. You can make foam, too! I am sure this item will be in our home for sometime. The name says it all and built to last

Fine
Overall a pretty good espresso machine for personal use. It is easy to use and the first shot is consistent. Sometimes back to back shots isn’t too consistent so should wait a bit for the machine to recover. The steamer is easy to use with okay power. I don’t like how light the portafilter feels because it feels cheap.

Small but mighty
This is an amazing little machine that exceeded my expectations. It has all the features of a larger espresso machine with a much smaller footprint. I found it easy to use and I really like the milk steaming feature because I love a good cappuccino. This is especially great if you have limited counter space.

Love a latte
I love my espresso machine. It’s compact, quick and easy to use. I had a De’Longhi expression machine before and it’s such a great brand. Oh yeah! So easy to use the frother. All in all a must have.

Beautiful Machine, Great Espresso
I am in love with this machine. It has made it very easy and convenient to make a delicious cup of smooth espresso. The fact that it has a steam spout is such a bonus! It's small enough that it doesn't take up a ton of our limited counter space, but with a water tank big enough to last the week. It came carefully packed to prevent shipping damage also. I will continue ...

Omg this is the best way to wake up! My coffee is fresh, tastes incredible and really can do it all. Easy to use and to get the hang of. The temperature is easy to control and it brews quickly. Such a sleek design and the size is perfect for my countertop and doesn’t take up too much space. The frother is the icing on the cake and steams the milk so quickly and elegantl...

Good espresso at a good price
This is a nice little espresso maker with a nice price point. Basically it does what it claims to do, it makes a shot or two of espresso and froths milk so you can make a fancy coffee drink. It's easy to use and I'm glad I have it.

Barebones, but effective!
This is an excellent entry-level espresso maker, but it really is a barebones machine compared to other products out there. The housing and build is primarily plastic, which is probably what keeps this at a more affordable price point. However, this does result in some obvious drawbacks. First off, this machine doesn’t have a built-in grinder, which is mildly inconvenie...

Amazing espresso machine, 10/10
This espresso machine is phenomenal, a huge upgrade from a Keurig. The water tank is a great size, I’m able to get so many drinks from one fill and it’s super easy to refill. Seeing the pressure build up and then the espresso pull is a thing of beauty, and the coffee tastes amazing. I’m so happy with this, and I even got some espresso tools (not included) to make the ex...

Espresso everyday!
This De'Longhi product is perfect for making espresso and cappuccino. It doesn't take long to prepare and is easy to use. I like that it came with a scoop to measure the coffee and that it has two different cups, one for a single and the other for a double shot, which makes it even easier to know how much to use. The steamer is convenient and also easy to use. The only ...

This was incredible.
First timer trying a coffee machine like this and the design was beautiful and made it so easy to use. I’ve never frothed anything and I can now do it from my kitchen. Brewing was easy and fast and I have an option of one or two espressos so that’s a big win on those days I need that extra wake me up.

A nice starter machine.
This is a nice machine for a beginner espresso brewer. It is very easy to use and has a nice design. I haven’t had to clean it yet so I have yet to comment on that. The quality of the machine is structurally sound. I do, however, think that for the price tag, the tamper could be metal and that it should come with a metal frothing pitcher.

Does not come with milk jug!
I will say, thank you first and foremost for the espresso maker! It is compact enough that it fits snugly in the corner of my coffee bar. This is the first espresso maker I have ever owned, so I have no comparison but it appears to do well! It comes with 2 sized ports for espresso shots, a scooper with a tamper on the other end. It brews quickly and although there is no...

I did watch the videos from their site and they were very helpful at learning how to make the different drinks. I’m really enjoying finding and customizing my new favorites. So far the cappuccino was my favorite I’ve mad...

Love this so much!
I am truly loving this machine! Full transparency, I found the instructions confusing. However, I found a great YouTube video by 'Tom's Coffee Corner' and it gave me the perfect breakdown of how to setup the single & double shot settings. Once the settings were configured, it has been a breeze. Ten out ten, highly recommend for the at home coffee enthusiast!
