So its a nice looking machine and it feels well built. The chrome details are nice and on the whole it feels good to use. The coffee capacity in the head is a a bit small and the height from the head to the cup stand is a little small too. In practice this means small cups and not strong coffee. I had to change my favourite (large) cup to use this machine. The steam wand on mine is incredibly noisy in use and it doesn't texture the milk easily. It tends to blow bubbles rather than agitate so getting the milk right has been a bit hit or miss. That said it does make steam so maybe its my technique, we'll see.My last machine was also a DeLonghi (RIP my friend) so when I needed a replacement this brand would have always been on my radar. I do kind of wish I'd seen it in the flesh first though as the size would have made me think again but only because I'm fussy with my coffee and I hated changing my cup... The machine itself, if you don't want large strong coffee, is actually very good value and it looks very nice in the kitchen. If this was 50% larger in capacity and it use the older design milk steam head it would be 10 out of 10. As it is, for my requirements, it only scores a 7. You may score it higher if it fulfils you needs adequately. Does look nice though..... Read full review

This is a lovely looking item. However, (and I think it's because I'm not a coffee expert) it is quite tricky to learn to use. But it seems very professional. The good thing is, it makes coffee exactly like you'd get in a cafe. It's quite messy to use, you have to have a cloth handy for drips and spills. It really only makes enough strong coffee for an espresso but that's the whole point of an espresso machine I guess - like I said, I'm not an expert. But at least you can make lovely frothy milk to top it up. I am growing to like it more and more.

Nice, stylish coffee machine. Easy to use and quick. Good price. Can be use with pods or without, I haven't try them yet. Make a nice cup of coffee, just need practice

This has replaced a 6 year old £40 espresso machine and it is notably better. Very high quality construction - really feels like it will last for years. I like the looks - somewhat vintage. It makes a great cup of coffee and certainly has enough pressure to brew very finely ground beans. The milk frother is really powerful and very quick. I nearly bought a much more expensive machine and I am glad that I didn't. Recommended.

Great product that makes great coffees. Easy to fill, easy to steam the milk, great result.
