Pros & Cons
Pros
I’m fully satisfied with the quality of and the functionality it provides us daily. It is tall, so if you have an older 1950’s home with shorter cabinets you will need to measure to be sure it fits under cabinet.
It has the choices of expresso, americano, expresso and hot water for tea. Using a thermometer will keep you from scorching your milk.
The grind of the beans can be adjusted allowing for different strength and smoothness. The grinder on the top is great so that i don’t have to use my extra coffee grinder. Bean hopper is an excellent size and easy to fill.
This delonghi is a good hybrid. My older ones, as seems like a de’longhi have always graced our kitchen. Hubby knows there will be many cups of espresso.
Cons
The grinder makes a giant mess. The beans are a bit oily. Had to switch to light roasted beans. Only works in the espresso mode (not americano or coffee) the coffee grounds stick to the machine after brewing and it is a pain to clean.
Issues with the wiring or the sensors and this is clearly a product issue. None of the troubleshooting works. They shipped it to the wrong address.
The * feel stiff and cheap. Will be returning and purchasing a more reliable brand. Customer service unbending.
Buyer beware. Would not work out of box. Nt worth the money.

I can have coffee or espresso in about three minutes, faster than a french press and/or going thru starbucks.

The solution is to just keep pressing the rinse button and trying it again over and over seriously like 20 times until the air is pushed out of the hoses
