Pros & Cons
Pros
- Easy to Use and Clean: Many reviewers highlight the machine's straightforward operation, intuitive controls, and simple setup, making it ideal for beginners. It is also frequently noted for being easy to clean, including removable parts like the drip tray and water tank.
- Quality Espresso and Crema: Customers consistently praise the machine for producing delicious, rich, and strong espresso with a thick, velvety crema, often comparing the quality favorably to coffee shop beverages. The 15-bar Italian pump is mentioned as contributing to optimal extraction.
- Compact and Attractive Design: The espresso machine is frequently complimented for its sleek, modern, and compact design, which fits well on countertops without taking up much space. Its stainless steel and chrome finish contribute to an appealing aesthetic.
Cons
- Inconsistent Temperature and Slow Cycling: Several users report that the espresso is not hot enough, and the milk frother may not heat milk adequately. There are also complaints about long wait times when switching between brewing and steaming functions, or when making multiple drinks back-to-back, as the machine can overheat or require a cooling cycle.
- Plastic Taste/Smell and Material Concerns: A significant number of reviews mention a persistent toxic plastic smell or taste emanating from the water tank or other plastic components. Concerns are raised about hot coffee passing through plastic and the use of aluminum in the portafilter instead of stainless steel.
- Frother and Portafilter Issues: The milk frother is often criticized for producing large, airy bubbles instead of fine microfoam, or for being difficult to control and use effectively. The portafilter is noted for being cheaply made, having a small diameter (51mm) which limits accessories, leaving wet coffee pucks, or being challenging to lock into the machine.

Great Performance at a Reasonable Price.
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Kris Stanek May 27, 2025Review source: AmazonBetter than the previous Espresso Machine De’Longhi Dedica Maestro Plus Espresso Machine which failed to adequately froth the milk. This machine was half the price and perfectly froths the milk.
Although I prefer the filter on the Dedica Maestro Plus better.

Toxic Plastic Tank
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Sara Allegri May 18, 2025Review source: AmazonTake it from me, born in Italy, if the tank didn’t smell like toxic plastic this would be a great machine. If you change the water before every espresso the cafe is perfecto! But who wants to do that? DeLonghi shame on you.
