I bought this and returned it. I was comparing this over a Nespresso. Granted a Nespresso is much more convenient but you're also paying way more per cup, unless you refill your pods/capsules. I chose the Nespresso over this because of the following reasons:

1. Cleaning this up after each use (imho) was a bit of a hassle.
2. The milk frother kinda splashes little droplets of milk everywhere, mostly in the cup, but a wee bit in unwanted areas.
3. The prep per drink was more than I anticipated for (as was the cleanup).
4. You're really limited to the size of the cups you can use with this thing.

In general I thought, okay the work of prepping each drink would be the same as refilling each nespresso pod (if refilling pods in bulk, not one at a time), but the cleanup with this per drink is way more involved. You have to dump the espresso puck, clean the portafilter, clean under the rim that the portafilter attaches through, and run hot water through it, and run a steam clean through the milk frother...whereas with the Nespresso its just cleaning the milk frother.

When I got this machine, I thought it would be cool to act like a barista, then the cold hard reality of the extra work set in and I decided on sticking with the Nespresso and I returned this thing.

Hope this helps someone. If you don't want to refill Nespresso pods, get an original line machine where the pods/capsules are much cheaper. If refilling Nespresso pods, do them in bulk to streamline the process, and get some tools from Recaps. If you enjoy doing the process of preparing Espresso, and are a beginner, then this is the machine for you.

Have had this for 2.5 years. Still going strong. Really like that the milk reservoir is integrated but removable to throw in the fridge.

For the pass 5 year, I have 3 shot and my wife has 1 or 2 shot daily, still works fine. Althought the milk foamer only used by my wife to make white flat.(Dinkum Aussie)

The key (any espresso machine) is soft water. (Coffee taste better too). And follow the instructions to descale the boiler using vinegar.

Had this for a few months. Although it makes good enough coffee for most of the people who don't usually go deep in to coffee making, it had one big issue and this occurred after a few months - the portafilter used to unscrew itself while I was trying to get a shot. I tried cleaning the screw threads to be free of coffee grounds, purged the system, cleaned the outlets used vinegar. nothing worked and it used to spit hot grounds everywhere. Ended up just putting it aside. Not sure if it is a defective one or its the model issue. my two cents...

Absolutely agreed with all that you said. Hassle to clean and more prep work. You need to know also how much pressure you need to compact the coffee ground or you may end up with low dripping or less pressure may end up with watery espresso. If I want quick espresso, I still used my nespresso machine. Occasionally, I used this machine just to get different taste of it.

Why don't more coffee makers have wifi so I can integrate with smart devices?

Do not buy this and make the same mistake as me.Look into super automatic coffee machines, these go bad b/w 1-2.5yrs whereas super automatic lasts around 10y.
There are lot of factors and above is a generic statement, one of the factor being high upfront investment but you'll come out ahead in a year of ownership and the coffee is 10x tastier.
If low on money buy a cheap Nespresso with reusable pods, cheaper and tastier.

Any opinion on something like the Mr. Coffee vs this De'Longhi?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09RV3K..._lig_dp_it

I know nothing about espresso, coffee, etc. and don't have much of an interest, but this is a gift for someone who has put the De'Longhi on their wishlist. I'm sure the $500-$3000 ones are super great, but my price point for this gift is the $100-$200 range.

Looks like junk to me, but whatever floats your boat…

If you want to make cafe quality espresso, this is what you need:
Coffee beans which have been roasted between 5 and 21 days ago. (There is no such thing as an "espresso bean." It's coffee)
A grinder which can produce very finely and consistently ground coffee
An espresso maker which produces 9 bars of pressure
A scale. Your espresso should pour about 2x the weight of the espresso beans in 30 seconds. So 17 grams of espresso should give you 34 grams of liquid in 30 seconds. You adjust the ground's fineness until you're there.

A good starter is the Breville Bambino, which uses a separate grinder, such as a Baratza Sette 270. This combo will give you true espresso at the lowest price. You can always move up from there, such as the Breville Dual Boiler or one of the Italian dual boiler machines.

Had for 4 years, never any problems. Makes a good but definitely not great espresso. Had to get a good grinder to get it there though

I have been using this exact one every day for the past 3 years. I love it and before I had a few junk delonghi units that put out subpar espresso and they both failed in less than a year . Buy this and you won't be disappointed

We have had 6 of these machines over the years. Yes they last about a year or so with HEAVY use. Buy the extended warranty! We have only purchased 2 machines over 8 years or so. We love the café latte feature and it just tastes great. Considering how much coffee we make with this little unit, I would not be opposed to paying for one each year. Clean up is not that bad. Place milk tank in the fridge between uses. Disassemble milk tank twice a week and throw it in the dishwasher. Dump and rinse the catch pan after every use. Wipe down with towel after each use. I would highly recommend this little machine. Our current unit is well over a year old.

I had this and it also failed in about a year. Also it never really had enough pressure to make espresso and the pucks were always really watery no matter what I tried - so your "latte" was essentially just drip coffee and steamed milk. Not worth the money. Bought a breville barista express after and have been happy since.
