For 10 years, a cheap but reliable Cookworks brand filter machine served me coffee each morning, till it broke this month. So I was looking around, and was initially hesitant at buying an Espresso maker due to the device cost and never having owned one previously. After researching online, speaking with friends who own similar machines, I decided to try one. All I will say is that this is the best thing I have bought myself and majority of my housemates love it too. You get shop coffee at home, saving £3 a pop. It makes cappuchino and other variants, is easy to clean, has a removable tray that I have put away as I don't need. Mine has a 2 year warranty, so if it breaks, the manufacturer can fix it. We make 6 cups of coffee a day with this and it will take about 2 to 3 days before you get your technique right for the flavour you like and this depends on the coffee grind too. For myself, I find the black Lavazza Espresso packet (strength 5) is now my coffee of choice, I pull a shot or two for 30 seconds, then top it up with kettle boiled water, a splash of milk. For others in my house, instead of adding the water, they use the machine to froth milk to make cappuchinos. The coffee tastes delicious with the crema it creates and the machine is compact, sturdy, not loud and very easy to clean. Definitely impressed and would recommend this model for ease of use and build quality. Just read the instructions fully and don't pull the shot for longer than 30 seconds otherwise I am advised that the less desirable flavours of the grind will pour through and may taste bitter. But it's all personal preference, so experiment to your hearts content. One thing I will say is that if you are in a rush, and have no time, then Espresso makers are not for you as you need to spend a few minutes to make a lovely coffee.

Great coffee/ espresso machine. Unfortunately I don’t read instructions so wondered why my milk never got hot. Once read , excellent boiling , frothy milk ! Great tasting (depending what you buy) coffee, just like an expensive posh coffee shop.

4.0 out of 5 stars Compact, well thought out coffee machine

P.L. · 22 January 2025

I really like this coffee machine, it is simple and does the job. The internal storage for the separate filter units is a nice touch. The water container is a good size, you don't want to leave water sitting too long, I find that I am filling it at a reasonable frequency for my coffee habit. I don't use the steamer (I know - disappointing) but I did test it when setting the machine up and it does the job. My only grip is that when I fill the filter with coffee as per the measured spoon and tamp it down the unit is hard to get back on the machine. It is possible that I am using too much coffee but I have to hold the machine as I twist the handle with some force to get it on enough to use, even then the cups are at an angle on the drip tray to accept the nectar the machine produces. At the end of the day it is an affordable and compact unit for forcing hot water through coffee grounds, it can't do much wrong there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality that lasts, brilliant coffee machine

F.R. · 11 December 2019

I actually got my own one of these second hand from a social media Marketplace. I purchased this one as a gift for my parent who whenever they came round loved the coffee it made. They had a pod coffee machine at their house, the one marketed by a Hollywood A lister. And they preferred my coffee to their machine at their house.So I got them this for Christmas.The product itself is clearly built to last. The person i bought mine from only gmsold it as they purchased a bean to cup machine. I've had it for about a year and it is still going strong. It even copes well with the hard water.It produces the most wonderful crema. A beautiful coffee everytime.The milk frother is great. Super easy to clean. Two bits come off, leave in soak and rinse or just give it a quick scrub and reapply if you want another cappuccino. The milk frother is very easy to control too.The water reservoir has a big enough capacity for two large mugs. It is easy to loft out and fill and easy to put back in. I've never had a spill doing so.The only point to be aware of is that the drip tray doesn't leave a space big enough for oversized mugs. But I remove it for mine. As soon as the espresso is made I remove my mug and place a small jug underneath to catch drips.It is not hugely loud. I live in a three bedroom house. I work terrible shifts and often get up at three am. I come down and make a coffee with this. My wife who is a massively light sleeper is not disturbed by it and nor are my three kids.The handle gives a real professional feel. It is very strong and robust.This is a brilliant coffee machine. An absolute bargain for coffee shop results.

1.0 out of 5 stars Two machines, both faulty

R. · 18 May 2020

The first machine blew the circuit breaker when I turned it on. Left it overnight and it was then ok. The coffee and froth maker were superb however I found that I was unable to turn the machine off and had to cut the power at the plug socket. I also found a puddle of water underneath the machine after each use. I think the leak was coming from the water boiler unit. Gave up after a few coffees and returned the item.Second machine arrived which then activated the fuse box circuit breaker after a few seconds whenever I tried to heat the water up for coffee or the frother. Unable to make coffee and again found a puddle of water under the machine after trying to get it to work six times. Gave up and returned to Bolo.Whether I was just unlucky in receiving two faulty machines I cannot say. There is however an earlier review with the same problems. The electrical problems are worrying, and yes, I did try another plug point with the same result.

Arkadaşım çok memnun kaldı, süt kopurtme cubugu sayesinde espresso, lungo gibi çeşitlerin yanında capucinno , latte gibi tüm sütlü çeşitleri yapabilirsiniz. Şunu da belirtmeliyim ki kurlar yüzünden artık delonghi almak, kısıtlı bütçesi olanlar için mumkun görünmüyor çünkü bu ürünle aynı fiyata daha fazla özelliği olan başka marka bir kahve makinesi alinabilir, mesela Philips. Süt haznesi olan birçok çeşidi var. Kalitesini ve ömrünü bilemem. Delonghiyi 6 yıldır kullanıyorum, en ufak bir sorunla karşılaşmadım (maşallah diyeyim).

Sabor intenso y mucha espuma

A. · 28 August 2018

Después de mirar y comparar muchas cafeteras nos decidimos por está por la potencia, el espumador para capuchino y la posibilidad de usar las monodosis ESE.Y la verdad estamos encantados. Hace un café muy rico y cremoso, tiene los diferentes cacitos por si lo quieres normal, doble o monodosis. En mi casa somos de café fuerte así que usamos el doble y salen perfectos.El otro detalle que destaca es el espumador. Con la leche (normal, de soja...) muy fría, lo ponéis rozando la superficie y vais moviendo en círculo y hacia abajo despacio, en unos 20 segundos listo.Os recomiendo comprar una jarrita de metal para ello pues las tazas pueden agrietarse por el cambio brusco de temperatura.Lo único que echo de menos es que sea automática, pues hay que pararla cuando ves que clarea ya demasiado el café y el capuchino tienes que hacerlo en 2 pasos.Cada vez que se usa es recomendable dejar que se limpie para garantizar que nos dure más.Os pongo fotos para que veáis los resultados, en este caso con leche de soja.Espero haberos ayudado

minimalistischer Siebträger für zu Haus

s. · 12 January 2025

Ich habe diesen Siebträger auf gut Glück für zu Hause geholt und er ist nun fast seit einem Jahr im ständigen Gebrauch und ich kann nur sagen: durchaus zufrieden! Es gibt mehrere verschiedene Einsätze für den Siebträger, womit man die Menge an Kaffee bzw. die Geschmacksintensität etwas anpassen kann. Der Milchaufschäumer erhitzt die Milch super schnell & es gelingt auch ein guter Schaum. Als Studentin kann ich für den Preis dieses Maschine von De'Longhi nur empfehlen.

Ottimo prodotto

C.D. · 15 July 2018

La macchina è arrivata da un paio di giorni e quindi il mio giudizio è limitato a questa prima breve esperienza e riguarda soprattutto la mia impressione sui "materiali".Premetto che arrivo da un' "antenata" di questa macchina, una vecchia De'Longhi della stessa fascia che, dopo più di dieci anni di onorato servizio, è stata mandata a riposo.Dal punto di vista dei materiali, la nuova macchina non delude le attese: le plastiche e le rifiniture metalliche sembrano di ottima fattura e fanno sperare in bene sulla durata nel lungo periodo (qualche perplessità è suscitata dal tasto di accensione/spegnimento...quello della vecchia macchina mi sembrava più robusto).Molto soddisfatto degli accessori: 3 filtri (una tazza, due tazze, cialde) con tanto di guarnizione e un portafiltro professionale che si aggancia a meraviglia alla macchina.Pienamente soddisfatto anche del cappuccinatore: rifinito in acciaio, si orienta in tutte le direzioni (OCCHIO A SCEGLIERE ALTRE MARCHE/MODELLI in cui il beccuccio è piuttosto rigido e risulta poco funzionale).La base di appoggio delle tazze è molto stabile e trovo comoda la possibilità di regolare l'altezza per accogliere tazze molto lunghe.Veniamo all'aspetto più importante...il prodotto finito...il caffè: finora ho usato solo il filtro da una tazza con l'immancabile Pellini "Espresso Gusto Bar n. 46 cremoso" (miscela Arabica/Robusta). Io considero soprattutto la "corposità" della bevanda (una bella schiuma che si appoggia però ad un caffè acquoso a me non interessa). Ebbene il caffè che esce dalla nuova macchina è come piace a me, mi sembra di usare ancora la vecchia, solo che ci metto un terzo del tempo e non spreco neanche una goccia d'acqua (uso da sempre la minerale in bottiglia, dal momento che l'acqua che sgorga dal mio rubinetto è estremamente dura e piena di calcare).La montatura del latte? Mi riservo di prenderci la mano, usando latti vegetali (soia, avena, mandorla, riso) è davvero difficile ottenere la schiuma tipo bar. Comunque la pressione di uscita del vapore è potente.Per chi cerca una macchina robusta, pratica e senza troppi fronzoli estetici (anche se le rifiniture in acciaio danno un tocco di design) ritengo che l'acquisto sia azzeccato!!!
