This model was the upgrade from the Delonghi that I used almost every day for 12 years and was totally satisfied with it.

Researched this thoroughly and thought I found the right model

Over the past few weeks I have purchased and returned numerous other machines (Breville Bambino plus, a expensive De’Longhi model, etc).

Some more basic models appear cheaper in quality,would not recommend.

I roast my own beans and am a bit picky but don't see the benefit to many of the more expensive models.

I can't recommend this model enough.

typical modern crap, perfect business model, craps out two weeks after the warranty expired.

This model improves over the other 2 in 3 areas.

I can't recommend this model enough.

This is an exceptional value for a relatively low cost espresso machine, compared to most pricier models from other manufactures

This is the same model my son-in-law uses and he recommended it

This machine replaced our much older model when it expired after many years of daily use.

I think this model is better than the EC685x (by the way, the EC685x is like half the price in the EU)

After a 6 months use the expresso machine leaks profusely hot water when i intend to brew some coffee.i wont recomend this model to anyone

o más suave,

This is a small thing, but with my previous, 'cheap-o' machine, I poured in the amount of water for that cup and set the machine, while I took my dog out into the yard for his morning sniffNpee

It produces a nice crema, especially with my grind of choice which is Lavazza Crema e Gusto Ground Coffee Blend, Espresso Dark Roast.
