Pros & Cons
Pros
No, this is not perfect, but for the price, it is jolly good. But - overall - it's great. The downsides are few. Couldn't be happier.
Cons
The delonghi makes execrable espresso. The bean grinder is ineffective. The machine has been returned for a full refund.

Had a krups coffee machine for years which i loved the downside was the frother wand occasionally came loose during use causing the milk to spill everywhere

To reduce this time from minutes to a mere few seconds after frothing the milk to desired temperature press either coffee cup buttons and the two green lights on the single and double coffee cup buttons will start flashing then twist the steam know again to expel any excess steam from the milk wand until there is no more to expel this takes a couple of seconds no more and then twist this back to off when the green lights stop flashing will be no more than a few seconds

The reason it takes a long time without returning to the steam knob is because the water temperature is too hot after frothing the milk to make the coffee and it takes ages to get the water temperature down sufficiently to enable the machine to make the water
