I’m so happy to have finally found an acceptable espresso maker at a reasonable price.

The espresso produced by my new reasonably priced has a wonderful crema and so far a very consistent temperature.

I have continually searched for a reasonably priced high quality espresso machine and have yet to find one

Bottom line: now that this machine is even cheaper and runs for only $150, if you were looking for a reasonably priced appliance at home to save money on going out for

It does the basics well and given what it takes to purchase an A+ machine, the De'Longhi price is a genuine bargain.

If you want an espresso machine that makes a damn good latte, you're looking at it

Bought as a gift, very nice machine, makes great lattes!

Makes great espresso & steams milk for a perfect latte!

Next time I need an espresso machine DeLonghi has lost me as a

I love espresso and latte, especially latte art, and this machine did it for me

Easy to use, medium body espresso with very good crema, and steam wand works well on my machine and makes great foam

Tap down the froth pitcher and swirl it to eliminate big bubbles and pour it very slowly down the side of the tilted glass to avoid disturbing the crema and then spoon out the thick foam on top of the latte

The DeLonghi machine produces a nice pull on the espresso and creates nice crema

Fortunately the old EC702 sump and filter cups fit the ECP3430 machine, solving my issue of insufficient crema output

The espresso comes out with a nice crema on top, just like my old De'Longhi

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

Steam wand struggles to make the fine, dense foam that is necessary for doing latte art, the included plastic tamping spoon is flimsy (works okay, but I recommend buying

It has been more of a learning curve to get the consistency of foam I like

Easy to use, medium body espresso with very good crema, and steam wand works well on my machine and makes great foam

Ignore the thing about 2%, everything makes ridiculous foam

The first cup blew the filter’s clip and broke it so coffee came spewing out the side

Do NOT tamp you coffee, it won't work at all!That said, it CAN make a very good cup of coffee

It makes a good cup of espresso, and froths milk as expected

This DeLonghi espresso machine produced one cup of espresso9quite good) and then refused to produce any more.

She stated she'll be mailing out the missing 2 cup filter (I told her I didn't care for the Pod filter as I probably would never use it anyway.)

Only works 1 year, poor quality built, it leaks, having hard time looking for replacement parts.

The quality is excellent; DeLonghi does a good job with packaging and the item should arrive in great shape.

The machine looks great and has held up well, no problems and the quality is decent.- This machine is very easy to

Overall, excellent shots with a nice crema once I got the hang of it and seems to be good quality for the price

This is a great little home espresso machine such great quality for the price

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

Makes a decent shot, but then broke after 2 years of moderate use

It's very easy to use, is ready quickly, and comes with all you need to make a decent shot of espresso (tamper/scoop, hefty portafilter, autofrothing wand)

The flavor of the espresso is really reliant on the beans, but the machine is pulling a good shot with a nice layer of crema

Product looked great easy to use and clean, but the 40 dollar mrcoffee espresso machine this was replacing made a far better espresso shot

If you are looking for a reliable espresso maker, that turns out coffee bar quality espresso, you owe it to yourself to get one of these!

Honestly, you get just as good espresso out of a $15 stove top coffee maker

I am not sure if this is because I need a better (more expensive) maker or it is a because of the De'Longhi basket design.

Right now I regularly make coffee in a 6 cup, 12 cup and 18 cup stove top espresso maker using Starbucks Italian Roast or Sumatra alternating daily.

While this is one of the cheaper espresso makers around, I kind of accepted that it would have its flaws

I like to use Lavazza espresso power as it has a nice refined and sting espresso taste, it is also very finely grounded

It is easy to use and makes consistently great tasting espresso.

The resulting espresso was very weak looking and tasting

Overall, this espresso machine will deliver good tasting espresso, cappuccinos, and lattes.

The machine looks nice, it's easy to use, the pump isn't loud, it makes good tasting espresso, it’s easy to clean, fits a wide range of cup sizes, steam wand heats milk quickly and creates thick foam

With properly ground coffee this machine is pretty much like having a coffee shop in your kitchen.

If you really like coffee and you are very picky with your

I like the coffee from this machine, but there are some issues

This machine made two cups of weak coffee and never worked again

Like the aesthetic of the product but the coffee is weak.

It doesn't generate enough pressure to get through fine ground espresso and with coarse ground it comes out too watery.

I have tried only fine grind and light tamping but the machine can struggle with this.4

Now it doesn’t have enough pressure to brew a double shot and is very slow to brew a single, even with a coarser grind

I recommend a good quality fine ground for the best flavor

Then when you’ve used up those grinds, get coarsely ground next time

I would recommend this product to beginners looking to make simple espresso-based drinks.

I recommend this product if you are looking for a middle of the line espresso machine

I would recommend this product to anyone looking to enjoy a nice espresso just the way you want it.

but I'm writing this review because I truly just can't recommend this product enough

I recently purchased this product and it failed after only 2 days

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

And when I would remove the handle after it would explode hot coffee grounds and water all over my hand

CONS:-This machine leaked horribly every time we tried it.-While the handle is sturdy it was very hard to pull into position.-The

Agree with other users that the handle is ridiculously hard to turn

Put coffee ground specifically for expresso machines (meaning very fine ground) in the expresso coffee brewer device (using the long handle to lock it into place)

Next time I need an espresso machine DeLonghi has lost me as a

We use this about 4 times a day and it works great and holds its own

This machine over heats, pump would not work half the time

This meant that espresso would splash around the machine and make a mess every time I made a serving.

I cleaned it a few times and now the espresso drips very slowly, if not at

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

Researched this thoroughly and thought I found the right model

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

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

With the new machine our lattes didn't taste as good as with the old machine

Should have read the reviews more carefully about the water tank

The water tank hold plenty of water, basically a weeks worth so you don't have to fill daily

The water tank slowly leaks, overflowing the tray and then all over the counter

Spend a couple of weeks trying to figure out what was going on, at which point amazing poor 30 day return policy expired

we tried everything the manual said to correct the drip, nothing worked

The 15 bar pump in this thing can't push out more than slow drips at a medium grind setting on my Jericho coffee bean grinder

Being able to remove the top drip tray gives you a lot of flexibility in the amount of coffee you make.

I cleaned it a few times and now the espresso drips very slowly, if not at

With the platform removed, there is still a nice little drip pan to sit the mug on

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

Now the machine makes a terrible noise and water does not come out.

It started making the worse noise and shivered and now simply stopped working

After six or seven months of two to three cups a day use, it died:the pump, which as mentioned, would not work if coffee is tamped, makes noise but does not pump

My only gripe is the noise it makes and how touchy you have to be when loading shots

I feel as though most negative reviews of this machine are caused by user error so if you're new to espresso machines, be diligent and do your homework first because this might not be as easy as you might expect without practice.

She says it doesn't get hot enough, but that could be user error

From one day to the next, this machine went from producing wonderfully flavored expresso with beautiful crema to no crema, bitter flavor, and almost no flow from the boiler

Don't cram it in there or it will ruin the flow!2

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 reached an astonishing 88°F in my 68°F kitchen

Don't tamp too tightly, it slows down the flow and changes the crema
