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.

  1. Que es muy mala

    Verified purchase

    Muy mala opción, demora demasiado en iniciar, para espumar la leche toma en ubicar el receso más de 5 minutos cuando el café ya está frío, y si quieres un segundo café debe ser unos 10 minutos después. No la recomendaría jamás

    This De’Longhi EM450M coffee maker although it is Italian named it is “Made in Indonesia”, I understand it is the lower Model feel that it does not completely meet that standard of a De’Longhi name. It lacks intensity, flavor and the amount of expresso vs foam for each cup is very little. The design is very beautiful, elegant and modern. It is so SLOW preparing coffee. The preparation of heating up the coffee arm and then the milk frother takes time. I really expected the time to actually make a shot and go to use the frother would take less time heating up, it does not. Then have the same time running water through both parts to clean. So, I am using the microwave to heat my Latte up. As for its tank, it is quite good, because of its size and ease of filling it. I bought a tapper, no need because I never get a puck, it’s soup. The coffee scoop has a slightly rounded flat end, so it doesn’t stand up. All the accessories are low quality. I will look into moving up a model or two. This was to be my retirement present to myself. As for not Starbucks and BBiggy will be my go to.
