Pros & Cons
Pros
I am very pleased with this machine and i hope it lasts. One important consideration is to consider purchasing the extended warranty. These machines tend to have a lifespan of around two years with heavy usage.
The de'longhi bar pump espresso and cappuccino machine is consistently of high quality. Produces nice expresso for not much money. I am not a fan of expresso so it's cappuccinos all the way!
Make a perfect froth every time. The frothing wand is the best i've ever used. The coffee is hot and the milk gets hot once frothed as well.
Cons
For the price it is unnecessarily difficult to use! I never want to use the machine since it is so hard to get the handle * on. They know it is junk and don't want to support it.
If you pack coffee too tight it clogs. If grind is too coarse, no crema. This fancy looking but * machine has so little power it will simply choke up.
There was water leaking out of the milk spout. It’s slow, it clogs/overflows and the height of the steam wand makes steaming milk challenging. The frothier doesn't froth; it simply heats the milk and leaves a few thin bubbles on top.

Packaging/appearance
I only have one complaint - the filter basket on the portafilter fits in with a tension spring.
Competitiveness
It heats up quickly, it can pull one or two shots, and comes with three baskets - a single and a double pressurized basket, and... Read More
I descale with vinegar every 2 months, use a 51mm bottomless portafilter with a regular basket, use 15.
I would never go with another brand.

My previous machine blew more steam at the end of the process which left a much dryer puck

The basket doesnt have slots or bumps or anything to hold the spring so it can pop out rather easily
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This is only a concern when you are knocking out the puck after brewing

My previous machine had a lever that you could pull out to hold the filter basket in place when you knocked i thought that was a better solution than these springs

You can spend thousands more if you want and have a much fancier machine that you can be very proud to showoff but i have my doubts whether you can really tell the difference

You can make good espresso drinks with only the includes supplies

I bought all the cheap puck prep stuff and i feel it made a slight improvement in my shots

However it is worth noting that with heavy usage these machines tend to have a limited lifespan
