DO NOT BUY THIS TERRIBLE COFFEE MAKER ****WARNING*****I read reviews before I bought it - a few people mentioned that the beans will not go down into grinder - this is true. Every morning we have to push beans down into the grinder because of this horribly designed piece of crap coffee maker. Do not buy it. Do not believe the other reviews. This was a tremendous mistake that we literally regret every time we make a cup of coffee. I will NEVER buy another Delonghi anything again in my life. I wish I could give this zero stars. It doesn't deserve one star.

A month ago, I replaced my manual Cuisinart Espresso Maker with this automatic DeLonghi Espresso machine and I wasn't disappointed! I bought it as a lightning deal and the price was just great. You can chose between using coffee beans or ground coffee and I have been using coffee beans for the whole time. The coffee grinder is not loud at all. I would even say the steamer is louder than the grinder. The espresso tastes pretty good and the residual coffee ground on the bottom of your cup is minimal. I like to drink Lattes so I am using the steamer a lot. I had to descale the machine twice so far. The descaling process is not a big deal though. It takes about 30 minutes but it is an automatic process and you don't have to wait around the machine. You have to buy the DeLonghi Descaler though (you can get it on Amazon for $14.99 = 5 times descaling). I make about 4 Lattes a day and the water tank needs to be filled every other day. So far, it works well. I would definitely recommend it to friends at the lightening deal price ($499.95). Also, if you want to see how to set it up and make lattes/espressos etc., there are a couple YouTube videos available to check it out. I hope this helps!

I've been using it for a few weeks, so no long-term feedback here, but so far I really like this. I had a super-automatic Saeco, so comparing to that one:1) The Delonghi seems much more intelligently designed overall.2) Controls are intuitively easy and large enough plus logically positioned3) Love that you can easily see the water level and it holds a lot of water -- I don't have a problem with the height but note that it is tall when you look at the position of your water source.4) Bean hopper seems to hold more and/or lets beans flow better than the Saeco5) The grinder and coffee maker mechanism stays cleaner and leaves less mess. This seems to just be a better designed component.6) The used-puck holder has more volume and keeps stray been grinds caught as well to keep the innards cleaner with less frequent emptying. Water tray is good, though I always keep a spare cup on it to catch the cleaning outpours.7) I really like the more finite control over the brew strength.Now I bought this because I needed another one and wanted a frothing wand on it, so I have nothing to compare that against. However, as a newbee frother I was able to get a good froth on the 3rd or 4th try after looking at some internet articles and videos. So based on that, it seems to me the frother is working quite well and produces a hot output. It also can deliver hot water though I haven't tried making an Americano or anything. I do use the hot water to help clean it out. Speaking of cleaning, both the external frothing wand and the internal nipple cover are easily removed for rinsing/cleaning. I don't know if all wands are like that, but it seems to be a good design.OK, with all that said, I bought this at a $500 sale and think it is high quality and value for that price. I don't know if it ever gets as high as the "original" price currently listed as $899, but I wouldn't doubt it rating higher than other $900 coffee makers.Also, for those concerned about the looks... It isn't all stainless steel, but it feels sturdy with a resilient exterior and the components that are steel feel similarly sturdy. the black surfaces could show water drops, but I tend to just wipe the front after each use anyway (to clean any splatter) and don't see a problem.

I ordered this on the Amazon Deal of the Day for $499 (MSRP $899) and it just arrived last night so I have only used it twice. So far it seems like a good machine but there are a few issues/precautions:The bean hopper contains a dial that adjusts the grinder coarseness. DO NOT TOUCH IT. It is preset from the factory, and if you do need to adjust it, you can only adjust it while the grinder is operating. Apparently adjusting the grinder coarseness while the grinder is NOT operating can damage it. Of course, this is not obvious when you are unboxing it since it's only in the details of the instruction manual that you find this warning. This is something that should be more prominently displayed when you are unboxing the machine. Better yet, change the design so that instead of having a "push button to break machine", make the grinder only adjustable by a setscrew (requiring a screwdriver to rotate) or put it behind a panel that takes more deliberate action to get to.Second, this thing apparently really does not like beans with any oil. I picked up a bag of espresso blend from Costco (Kirkland brand but roasted by Starbucks) and they do not seem any more oily than the beans I see used in my local cafes, but after 2 brews of espresso I started having bean feed problems. The grinder would operate but beans would not reach it and the machine kept putting up a fault light. I found a workaround by stirring the beans around the grinder chute with the supplied tool while the machine is grinding in order to keep the beans moving; otherwise the machine will operate but will not put out any coffee.Lastly, for a machine of this price-point it ought to have a programmable clock to turn itself on at a set time each day. It does have an adjustable auto-off feature, which is nice, but in the morning when I'm in a rush to get my espresso and get out the door I have to turn on the machine and wait for it to go through its warm up cycle before I can start a brew. Once the machine is warmed up and ready, it only takes about a minute to grind and brew an espresso. Warm up and purge adds 2-3 minutes.Espresso came out delicious with a great crema, and other than the feed problem with mildly oily beans the machine is super easy to use and clean out afterwards (but clean out is not required until you've brewed many cups as the waste bin is quite large). I look forward to replacing my Keurig machine with great espresso and no disposable cups.Edit: decided to bump this up to 4 stars after using for another week with good results. Only had to encourage the feed a couple times recently, though for some reason my espresso still doesn't seem to be coming out quite strong enough even on the full strength setting.
