'
Best Fully Automatic Coffee/Espresso Machine'
- "This compact, well-made machine consistently produced excellent espresso at the push of a button and readily let us adjust the flavor, temperature, and strength of a shot. The thoughtfully designed controls and a clear display that showed what was happening made it simple to brew espresso or froth milk without consulting the manual. A simple attached steam wand with a silicone grip was comfortable to use and popped off for cleaning"

I still think the Velasca might be a better machine.
Edit: no returns on this, so take your chances.

I think the general take home message is DeLonghi has been making espresso machines for ages and whichever machine you buy will work great for you for many years. You'll get similar longevity and espresso quality out of either. That being said, I bought the Magnifica XS from Costco specifically for Costco's easy returns. Also, the DeLonghi ESAM at Sam's Club [samsclub.com] is now at $570 if that affects your decision making.
