 Great Espresso MachineSep 14, 2009
This is a great buy! Those machines retail for about $1,000.00. I saw this machine at my sister-in-law's in Germany and knew I had to have one. It makes great coffee, espresso and cappuccino. I purchased the machine used; it came with an extra water container, an extra grinding insert and the chemical to decalcify the unit twice. I cleaned all parts in and out and noticed that the red light for the decalcification was on. I popped the instructional DVD into my laptop and walked through the process, which was very clearly described. I had no problems with it. Within 20-minutes, the machine was ready for use. I made myself first a double espresso - later on I had a cappuccino. In the evening I made two chamomille teas for myself and one for my son. The hot-water spout work excellent. The machine was a "steal". Not only because of the reduced cost but also it was very lightly used (once it was cleaned, you could not see it was used at all). There are no scratches or other marks anywhere on this machine.
All in all, this is one of the best buys I have ever made. I'm glad it all worked out so well. I can truly recommend both the product and also the seller.
 LOVE THIS MACHINE!!Aug 15, 2009
I bought this machine used on Craigslist and love it. I have had it 8 months now and have had no problems. It makes an excellent espresso. I use LaVazza espresso beans and Lavazza dekaf ese pods (tear pod open and pour in as it is already measured)for the best espresso you can find in Rhode Island. I had owned a Briel espresso machine before and it was a lemon. I would definately buy this machine again...at full price if need be.

easy, fun, tastyAug 03, 2007
I researched the superautomatics pretty well and went with this one. It is very easy to use and has plenty of settings to play with. I specifically did not buy one of the newer digital models figuring that that would just leave more of a chance for something to break. I purchased mine from a popular auction site, it was listed as "refurbished" or returned. If it was either, I could not tell except for one small ding that is hardly noticeable. For the price I paid it was an awesome buy. The frother does work well, just make sure that it is on correctly and that the o-rings are present. If you happen to be missing an o-ring or need a new one, go to a hardware store.
I simply wipe the attachment down and run steam and water through it to clean it.
The pre-ground bin leaves something to be desired but I dont really use it anyway.
The instruction manual is ok, it takes reading more than once to get certain things correct, something probably got lost in the translation.
Overall this machine is the best toy Ive had in a long time.

 Great coffee - shame about poor reliabilityJul 28, 2007
I bought this machine in 2006 after an almost-endless trawl through the internet reading owners' reviews - after all, we are talking about the search for the perfect expresso here!
The coffee quality is indeed great. The only misgivings I would have about using it are that the knobs have no user markings, which means that if there are several people in the house using the machine, it is impossible to select the previously-selected individual settings. Also, the time before the machine switches itself off is fixed at about three hours. I couldn't find the power comsumption in the user manual when in "idle" mode, but I think it must be substantial since it keeps the cup preheater hot during this time. Not that the preheater is any use - I warm my cups by first wetting them and then putting them in the microwave for 30 seconds.
More seriously, I have had the machine for 16 months, and it has broken down twice, the first time after six weeks, and the second time last week. So far, it can be fixed under guarantee, but I fear that maintenence will be an expensive business when the guarantee runs out after two years. I think the problem is that the environment these machines have to work under is probably the most severe to be found in the home: high-pressure boiling water, grinding, and the transport of the coffee grains within the machine. Maybe the build quality of the cheaper machines is such that they cannot cope?
Update Nov 2008: The machine broke down again, for the third time. Each time the reason for the breakdown has been different:
- stopped working during the decalcification cycle
- stopped in mid-cycle when the mechanism jammed
- no flow of coffee through the machine, even when thoroughly cleaned
Not impressed.
Update April 2009: The machine has finally broken down. Since there appears to be no way to repair it, I decided to check out its internals for build quality (I'm an engineer). De Longhi has used cheap thin plastic everywhere. The coffee transfer path is not well isolated from the rest of the machine - as a result coffee powder had dropped into the moving motorised assembly at the back of the machine (I think this was the reason why the machine ultimately had failed). If this is Italian engineering at its best, then never again.

Great lattes every timeMay 08, 2007
It's fast and convenient. Machine does everything for you. Instructional DVD was very helpful. User friendly. Any one could learn to use this machine. Saving money on lattes since I make them at home now. Only bad thing is the machine is very noisy.
