I’ve been using the De’Longhi Classic Espresso Machine for about two weeks now, and I’m genuinely very happy with it. The biggest highlight for me is how easy and smooth it is to use. The filter/portafilter locks in effortlessly — unlike my previous Breville, which was so tight that it sometimes felt like two people were needed to secure it properly. From day one, this machine was very intuitive. I mainly use it for espresso (haven’t tried the milk frother yet), and it’s been consistently delivering great results. Once I adjusted the grind size to match my taste, the espresso started tasting 90% or better like what I get at my favorite coffee bar — and that’s using the same dark roast beans they use. It’s impressively close to café quality for a home machine. I also like how easy it is to adjust the volume for single or double shots. I increased mine slightly from the default single cup, and now it’s perfect for my preference. Overall, the ease of use, smooth operation, and quality of espresso make this a fantastic choice. I originally bought a Breville but had to return it due to a defect and found it difficult to use, so I switched to this De’Longhi — and I’m glad I did. Simple, reliable, and very satisfying. Love Italy. Highly recommended! 🇮🇹☕ Read more

We’ve had this a few weeks now and it’s incredible. I gifted it to my boyfriend. Neither of us has espresso machine experience but it’s incredibly easy to figure out and use. I’ve even figured out the milk frother to make delicious cappuccinos. We’ve had zero issues. It’s easy to clean, great taste and temperature and perfect size for our coffee hutch. 10/10 get it!!!!!

Now that I've had this Espresso Machine for months and months, I can tell you it is a great choice for an affordable espresso machine for my home. I use it multiple times a day and it is fantastic! I highly recommend it as it is easy to use, easy to clean, and makes a great cup of espresso for my morning and afternoon Americanos and is also great to make espresso for espresso martinis and carajillos!

I picked up the De’Longhi espresso machine during Black Friday as a total newbie, and I’m thrilled with my purchase. The price was excellent, and the reviews convinced me to give it a try. Before using it, I watched a few tutorial videos, looked through the recipes, and read the manual—definitely worth the time. For my first test, I used Lavazza Espresso Barista Gran Crema whole beans, ground on the finest setting. After rinsing and filling the water tank with distilled water (no leaks at all!), I ran the portafilter with the single-shot puck just to warm everything up. Then I switched to the double basket, stirred the grounds, tamped them, and locked the portafilter into place—it fit perfectly. When I started the shot, the espresso began pouring instantly with a beautiful CO₂ crema. Watching that rich, velvety expresso was so satisfying! Even the steamer performed like a gem, producing great results on the first try. Honestly, I didn’t expect my very first cup to turn out well… but it did. I have since made perfect expresso every day. This machine is truly perfect for beginners. It makes delicious espresso, looks great on the counter, and takes up no more space than a standard drip coffee maker. I’m delighted to own it and excited to keep learning the art of espresso. Highly recommended! ☕ Read more

The media could not be loaded. Being very honest I can't say that I loved it because it wasn't like that, but maybe it's because I usually drink stronger coffee than the average person, my husband is Italian so for him drinking coffee in a coffee maker called Greca is part of his culture and upbringing, when you get used to drinking the coffee that is prepared there which is an intense coffee, with a lot of aroma, flavor and quite concentrated especially when the grain is freshly ground which is the way we drink it, other coffee makers fail to give you that type of coffee, in this De'Longhi coffee maker although it is also Italian and is conceived with the concept that I mentioned previously of how Italians drink coffee, I feel that it does not completely meet that standard but it is more focused on a common coffee and it is fine for all the people who enjoy that type of coffee but not for me, since it lacks intensity, flavor and the amount that comes out for each cup is very little, unfortunately I didn't 't like it, its design is very beautiful, Elegant and modern, it is fast when preparing coffee, the preparation of milk for the cream is also fast, but if the coffee does not have the flavor that I expect, I simply will not like it, and for the price it has, I really expected much more, As for its tank, it is quite versatile, first of all because of its size since when filling it allows you to make several cups of coffee, it is very easily disassembled and its design allows you to clean it easily, not only the water container but the entire coffee maker is cleaned easily and quickly since the material with which each piece is made is of such high quality that it almost does not get dirty and every time I use it I wash it only with water, I do not use detergent since it does not need it and the dishwasher usually alters the flavor of the coffee, The design of this coffee maker not only gives you beauty, elegance for your kitchen but also allows you to enjoy a cup of coffee in a very short time and with the least possible effort Read more

This De’Longhi espresso machine is easy to use and works well for making espresso at home. The coffee comes out rich with good flavor, and the 15-bar pump provides consistent pressure. The milk frother is straightforward and does a decent job for lattes and cappuccinos. It heats up quickly and doesn’t take up too much counter space. Overall, it’s a solid machine for everyday home use. Read more
