If you have a problem with the unit, your life will become a nightmare. I have tried on and off for over a year to obtain a part for my Delonghi Dehumidifier. They do not sell parts to consumers, instead trying to get you to mail the heavy device to one of their repair centers usually very far away. Third-party parts people I have spoken with were specifically banned from selling the part to consumers, though Delonghi officially claims this isn’t so. All in all, I think I have wasted over a day of my life trying to get a small, simple replacement part for my unit. I will never purchase a Delonghi product again. Do yourself a favor and buy a different brand.

I REALLY HAD HIGH HOPES FOR THIS MACHINE. AFTER WAITING ALLMOST A WEEK LONGER THEN I WAS SUPPOSED TO FOR THE MACHINE TO GET TO MY HOUSE,I WAS READY TO GIVE THIS ESPRESSO MAKER A HONEST TRY. I MEAN, LESS THEN $100 FOR A ESPRESSO MACHINE THAT HAS THESE KIND OF REVIEWS? I JUST WANTED TO STOP GIVING STARBUCKS MY MONEY, AND EVERY OTHER CAFE IN MY AREA. SO I OPENED THE BOX, PUT THE MACHINE ON THE COUNTER, AND SET IT UP. I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS TO A T. BY THE WAY I READ ALLMOST ALL THE REVIEWS ON AMAZON ABOUT THIS MACHINE SO I HAD A GOOD IDEA WHAT TO AND WHAT NOT TO EXPECT. AFTER RUNNING ALOT OF WATER THRU THE MACHINE I WAS READY TO PULL MY FIRST DOUBLE. WELL IT LOOKED “GREAT” LOOKED BEING THE KEY WORD THERE. TASTE WAS ANOTHER PROBLEM. VERY BITTER AND WEAK! VERY WEAK! SO I TRIED AGAIN, SAME PROBLEM. I WENT THRU 5 DIFFERENT COFFEE ROASTS, NOTHING I TRIED WORKED, TAMPING, GRIND,TEMP SURFING, OVERDOSING, NOTHING! EVEN MY LATTE’S WERE VERY BLAND. BY THE WAY STEAMING PERFORMANCE WAS POOR IT IS A SMALL BOILER MACHINE IF YOU LIKE JUST FROTH IT WILL DO IT, BUT MICROFROTH FROGET ABOUT IT. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH ON ESPRESSO, I LEARNED A FEW THINGS, FIRST STAY AWAY FROM SO-CALLED CREMA-ENHANCERS THEY ARE JUNK.ALL THEY DO IS MAKE A SHOT LOOK GOOD! NEXT YOU NEED A REAL PORTAFILTER 57-58MM, AND A BRASS BREWGROUP. SO ANYHOW I REPACKED THE MACHINE AND SENT IT BACK TO AMAZON FOR A FULL REFUND, I REALLY WANTED TO LIKE THIS MACHINE, BUT I ENDED UP HATING IT. BY THE WAY I RECENTLY BOUGHT A GAGGIA EVO, GREAT MACHINE! I LOVE IT! MAKES GREAT ESPRESSO AND LATTE’S!!

Cheap plastic, too small in stature, uses a FAKE CREMA gimmick handle.
If you were happy with a $30.00 steam toy stay with that. And to make REAL espresso you must own a decent ESPRESSO grinder around $200.00 or you can use high priced stale pods, with a very limited selection.
delonghi has no business in the coffee maker biz!

I received this item in short time. When I opened the and took it out of the box there was cracks on both sides. I did send it back but I won’t buy this brand again. I haven’t received a credit yet so I am not sure if I am happy with Amazon yet.

This product was a waste of money. I guess you do have to spend several hundred dollars at least to get a decent machine. My main problem is the espresso function – it takes about 20 minutes to make one espresso. Turn it on, and out of the filter it comes, drip by drip, for ages. Seriously, a water droplet at a time, for almost 20 minutes. By the time you have enough coffee, it’s luke warm, and you have to mix it with foamed milk if you want it hot. If you just want espresso, it’s cold – what kind of an “espresso machine” is that?
I am going to throw this in the trash and bite the bullet and probably spend $400 on something that can make an espresso in a more reasonable amount of time.
I suggest you do the same unless you want to find out for yourself.
