Pros & Cons
Pros
The prima donna s de luxe has a front load water bin.
It heats and froths milk, grinds the beans, even cleans itself. It froths anything from almond creamer and oat creamer all the way to half and half to creamy bliss! Even black coffee ends up having a bit of froth!
From the box, there are a small number of things to assemble and the instruction booklet that accompanies the coffeemaker makes it easy and simple to assemble. Startup / setup is fast.
After a year+ of steady use, still very pleased with this solid machine from delonghi. The machine creates a perfect puck and extracts a perfect shot. Bistro quality coffee comes at a price, and that price is complexity.
I hope it lasts for many years because i don’t want to live without it. I found no cons, however, the pros are numerous. Pros> looks great and has a good design.
Cons
This brand is a scam. You can’t brew a full cup of coffee in one shot, the machine needs to reload a few times. The steamer was supposed to do a good foam on the milk, another disappointment.

I noticed this is now around two-hundred dollars less than what we paid on the cyber monday sale!
00 you can get a good one on amazon.
Shipping
Then the decision is to find a local repair place – or more likely, pay to ship it back for repairs.
Those were super fast and convenient, but the coffee wasn't that great.
Packaging/appearance
Lots of things come in the box: in addition to the appliance, you get a black box that contains a quick start guide, a 59 page ... Read More
Item as described and came perfectly packaged as a brand new machine.
Sadly, the advertised 'drip-style' coffee option on the box doesn't appear to actually be an option on the machine, with the ac... Read More

I have had other espresso makers and this one is by far the easiest to use.

When you start it up and before it shuts off it flushes itself out this is great so that it’s not storing water but my god keep a cup handy because you just fly through water
