One of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I make my good coffee several times a day without having to visit coffee shops and spend a lot of money. And I can say that I have a professional level thanks to this machine.
Vivia –
In my opinion not worth it. In less than 6 months has to returned. The decale process is not friendly and very long.
QuyP –
Works well and easy to use. We don’t know how long it will last but so far so good
MohamadE –
Is the best cafe machine I ever had. It’s real real espresso machine
MeldaP –
Great coffee machine, but the grinder stopped working not even 2 months of purchase. Disappointed will be returning.
ShayV –
This product has been nothing but problems since we received it. The first one we bought would not purge and operate at all.
Rhydam –
This one I will be returning soon because it doesn’t have much options like double shot coffee or espresso function. I do not recommend this item to buy paying $899 + tax. This product is worth to pay $299 but nothing more
LorenzoL –
It is a good expresso machine, just the coffee grinder has flows.
BrianB –
Absolutely incredible espresso! Would recommend this for any coffee geeks!
JoelC –

Excellent machine. I recommend it to everyone. I’m glad I purchased it
FranciscoH –
Great espresso machine for the price. Easy to use, heats up fast. I like that it also has the feature to make coffee as well ! I have had it for a few months now and I’m quite pleased with my purchase
KaylaH –
An Absolute fantastic investment. I love it so much. I no longer need coffee creamer. I’m so much happier with my morning routine!
Samuel –
It is not I expected from this renowned brand, really dissatisfied.
MercyahalyaS –
Really loved this machine and great start for a great fay with this one , and the beans also we can grind with the perfect amount
AkkariyaP –
Very easy to use for a beginner like me. Extracts coffee well Hot milk foam is great.
WeienZ –
Good coffee maker,i have been using for one year,doesn’t have any problem
KenG –
We use it mostly for making coffee than for espresso or cappuccino. I’ll never be satisfied with a traditional coffee maker now. It takes about 3 minutes to grind the beans, tamp, and complete the brewing process. These aren’t cheap but are well worth the money.
Wcmm –
Good espresso machine, good quality, easy to use, love it
SoniaA –
Easy to use coffee machine. A lot of good features like the tamping
Bonnie –
I am not a fan of coffee however when my Boyfriend bought this, I had to try it! I tried the Espresso for the 1st time and it is DELICIOUS!!! I wake up every morning craving a cup.
CarolP –
wonderful!!! I love my De’Longhi. I haven’t mastered everything, but the espresso every morning makes me smile and remember the wonder Man that bought it for me!
StephanieaL –
Was a christmas gift! The reciver really enjoyed and uses daily

Nice espresso from time to time. I bought this knowing I’d have spend time learning different beans, grinds, etc. I’ve made at least 2 dozen coffees in the last 10 days or so I’ve had this testing things out. I’ve made half that we’re good and half that were just ok. The reason for the lower score is when I found a setting that worked, I would make them the exact same way (first and second cup for me and a first for more wife in the morning) and it would come out completely different. I left the temp, grind, and tamping all the same yet within 2 hours and 3 coffees, even the pressure gauge registered differently. I am sure this machine and brand are great and there could potentially be something I missed (grind and beans were the same as well). But after 2 weeks and consistent settings, at least for this machine it was yielding different results.

I got this for my wife. Out of the box we had a little problem, but we got it fixed. So for we love it.
IslamA –
High quality better than many coffee shops barista
GabrielleF –
I am loving this product. Has a tamper and grinder already in it, so it makes making coffee, espressos and americanos so easy and fast.

This is very good espresso machine but there is a big learning curve (at least in my case there was). The following concepts all influenced performance in my case:
Beans
Easily the most important factor in my opinion. You want fresh espresso beans, with high quality. In my case medium roast beans on the drier side have worked very well. This is a big factor in determining whether you get a good pull and not a bitter cup.
Dosage
You will need to experiment as to what the right dosage is for you based on your taste and the beans that you select. In my case, it goes up and down depending on the beans I am using, whether I am preparing a single vs. a double shot, time of day etc.
Grind
I have found 2 setting to work the best though for some beans I have used 1.
Temp.
2 bars for my roasts. Be sure to read the manual and short guide and start with their recommendations.
Smart Tamping
I usually use three tamps but again see what works for your beans.
Decalcification
This machine need to be cleaned regularly to functions smoothly and efficiently. The minute the red light appears clean it. Follow the instructions in the manual and use the De’Longhi cleaning product. In particular it really helps the steaming wand.
Steaming Wand
Be sure to keep this clean and run some steam after use to clear out any residue.
Issues on Start Up.
With my model I did not get any pressure readings from the analog dial. I eventually used the single dose filter with the plastic stopper installed in it (so no water can pass through it) and ran it once. As the pressure built up on the dial the needle went almost all the way to the right and I shut off power and removed the single dose filter. It made pop sound and it appeared to clear whatever was clogging it. After that I have cleaned as normal when the light turns on and I have not had any issues.
It really does make great lattes and macchiatos. Enjoy!

Easy tu use, has the highest bars for pressure giving excellent coffee
MeganG –
When we decided to go with an espresso machine, we initially chose De’ Longhi. 1st we purchased Combination Espresso/Coffee and it was ok, the frothing wand was not that great. So we returned it and exchanged for the De’ Longhi Specialista. After many attempts, again the frothing wand just doesnt seem to put out that great of pressure and the milk just would not froth. Milk was nice and fresh. In the end we exchanged for a Breville Touch Barista. What a noticeable difference! I can tell you after trying both brands, it is safe to say i will never buy another De’ Longhi. Great starter machine but once we changed brands, we instantly could taste a difference, and see a difference. Frother was much better.
DjDj –
Never purged water. Thing was a giant lemon. Couldn’t tester it to try and trouble shoot. Had to be defective.
LAROYCEC –

AndreiC –
Excelent machine, the Ferrari of Italian coffee maker
Anuraja –
Great Product only issue was the Descaling Unit. Remember to always descale more than recommended.
Mikeac –
I bought this machine thinking it would be a great investment and it does exactly what my $300 machine does . This grinder on this machine doesnt work as good so i bought a grinder that did work. My suggestion to others? Just buy a $200-$500 machine and buy a good grinder youll be good
Great –
Amazing machine. Totally change they way that we experience coffe in home.
WarDrums –
Incredible machine! Makes excellent coffee and super easy to use once you get it dialed in just right. My only gripe would be the learning curve on initial set up to get it to perform the way it should and had to do a little research outside of the user manual to get it to perform as it should. Which honestly is splitting hairs so i just gave it an all out 5 across the board.
KimberlyD –
I love it. We use it for this cold days every day.
DarrellD –
Nice looking machine Grinder stopped working after four days
EverettA –
Use this every day. Love the latte. It’s pretty easy to use once you figure it out.

Eladio –
Great machine !!! Grinds well and brews amazingly!! Now to find the best tasting bean is the question
Murk305 –
Phenomenal! You can purchase with confidence! Great feature set and quality build.
StuartB –
Vive Italia! Finally an espresso without the need for a trip to Peet’s. This was a really well researched purchase and it paid off. Now, I have achieved elite espresso as well as adaptive functionality. The ability to make a perfect Americano is a real boon. I feel like I am back in Italy without the twelve hour flight.
ChrisC –
Great value for your money. Has some settings which make the machine not work well. You can overfill the ground espresso, for instance, which can essentially shut the machine down. But when you have it calibrated well, it works beautifully.
GabrielC –
After the 3rd time returning this item I decided to try a different brand. There is always something wrong with it ;(
Yurii –
The coffee machine is excellent. Now every morning I feel like I’m in a coffee shop. The coffee produced is very tasty and the machine is very reliable. I recommend.
Chris –
We love these coffee machines but they can be fickle and easily break and not work correctly. When you get used to the great coffee it provides on a daily basis, you get very upset when errors and issues come up that prevent regular operations. I’d strongly suggest you purchase the Best Buy warranty si you can trade it back in when something goes wrong.

My favorite espresso machine. Very consistent and easy to use.
