but, i've gotten what i paid for out of it, which was about the same price as amazon. lately, however, i have noticed the steam is escaping from the lid. i make a mocha nearly every morning. like i said, i've had this machine for several years. i heat my milk on the stove or in the microwave. i've owned this product for several years now.
and for the expert barista like myself, the espresso tastes pretty darned good. which means, i think, the seal is not working properly. it may be plastic, but don't let that fool you. for this price, it's worth the money. and for a delonghi product, the quality can't be beat. for the inexpert, this machine is super easy to use.
i don't use the frothing wand 'cause i'm used to a high-powered one.
From the first cup we knew that we had a winner. This wonderful inexpensive beautiful machine has done it. Rich and strong, smooth not bitter, so ends our search and the saga of the "Days without Good Coffee" PS: Sadly I'll miss the people at the shop, but we can always visit for different reasons.can't we.DeLonghi EC5 Steam-Driven 4-Cup Espresso and Cappuccino Maker, Black OOOOHHH yyyeesssh, our old espresso maker broke and we were without. we went on a hunt and after 4 finds that didn't cut it we finally found it.
Espresso and cappuccino are very good. I am very glad that I bought this machine.
This little machine is under $50.00 USD. If you use the lid (and you don't really have to) it makes getting the pot under the filter clumsy. I have wanted an espresso machine for a long time.
It's very easy to use. I've been using illa coffee in the machine. The only thing I don't like about it is the lid for the espresso pot.
I got this as a birthday present (my 56th). It makes some mighty fine espresso and cappuccino. Makes a good cup of espresso every time.
The cost however, was prohibitive. Don't let the low price put you off.
I loved my machine, however, I have to warm the cups before making the coffee, otherwise, until the proccess ends, the coffee won't be that hot. It's really great.
