Amazon.com Review:
Savor a burst of true Italian flavor at home with this DeLonghi espresso and cappuccino maker. With a durable stainless-steel boiler, two thermostats (for water and steam), 35-ounce water reservoir (which removes for easy filling and cleaning), and two nozzles, this self-priming pump machine brews up single or double shots of espresso in just minutes. As for taste, the machine’s ‘sempre crema’ filter holder produces a perfect, caramel-colored crema, the essence of great espresso. Before brewing, a built-in tamper levels and presses the grounds before use; some practice is usually required to tamp at just the right pressure. After brewing, a lever on the filter holder flips up to hold the metal basket in place in order to knock out the used grounds. Three switches make the entire brewing process intuitive: on/off, espresso/water delivery, and steam: the machine preheats cups and filter holder with hot water and also froths milk for cappuccino using a swivel steamer and adjustable steam control knob. An "OK" light illuminates when the machine is fully heated and ready to go. A drip tray under the nozzles holds two espresso shot glasses or cups (not included), and removes for dishwasher cleaning. The machine measures 11-1/2 by 8-1/2 by 7-1/4 inches, and is covered by a one-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

I really wanted to love this machine. The frother worked great and it was easy to use and clean. However, after trying and trying, and using up lots of espresso beans, the result was very weak coffee. Not espresso at all. Returning.

Many of the other reviews cover most of the points I would make, so I'll be brief. I have used the DeLonghi a little more than a month now, to give it time to reveal its strengths and weaknesses. Here are my thoughts:
- Performs beautifully every time. If you buy GOOD coffee and keep it fresh, you can make a superb cup of Espresso or Cappuccino with very little effort.
- I don't entirely agree with other comments about the design shortcomings; the built in tamper isn't "useless". ... Read More

If I had written this review after my initial purchase, I would have given it a higher rating, perhaps even a 5. It has two features that were non-negotiable when I was looking for a machine- a boiler, and a pump. There was only a brief learning curve, but soon I was making great espressos, cappucinos and iced americanos. I've saved tons of money that I would have otherwise spent at Starbucks.
The crema is consistent. The steam wand is easy to use and does a great job frothing milk ... Read More

Bought it last week in the "Target" store because of the price and many positive reviews here. Came back home, unpacked it and found the water container broken. Went back to the "Target", they replaced it with another one. Came back home, made a very good cup of espresso each morning for 5 days, but noticed that the pump for frothing worked poorly - today after five days only since I bought this machine the pump died completely, the steam was built up inside but could not be released by turning the ...

I read all of the reviews on this product before deciding to go ahead and give it a try. I have not regretted it at all!! It's wonderful! We live on a farm, so our water comes from an underground spring. We have a whole house filter, and I also filter the drinking water with a Brita. I use the Brita water for the machine, so it's double-filtered since I don't want it to clog with minerals. So far, I haven't had a single problem. I truly love this machine and am hoping that it will continue to ... Read More
