Product Description

The high performance 15 bar pump pressure coffee maker makes perfect espressos, cappuccinos and caffe lattes or can be used to create any favourite coffee or milk drinks. It is both stylish and easy to use with a simple dial operating system. The filter holder and built-in tamper creates the perfect crema on your espressos and the traditional manual milk frothing arm mixes steam, air and milk to produce a rich, creamy froth for a great cappuccino or latte so you can have barista-style coffee in your own home.

The pump espresso/cappucino maker is built to accommodate two full-sized cappuccino cups (with drip tray removed) or one or two espresso cups. It features a water boiler that can be switched between espresso and adjustable steam emission function to ensure faster use and optimum temperature control. Other features include a removable one Litre water tank and removeable drip tray.

A basic performer
By L Williams
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R2IPZMSYU2PATB This is a squat, austere-looking unit; the mains lead is about 1.15 metres long but there is nowhere under the base to wind excess cable. Clearance of the steam pipe to table-top is only 8.5cm so it needs a small milk jug.There is a removable water tank with a water gauge visible, ......just, from the front. The unit is supplied with 2 inserts, one for a single coffee and one for two, the spare insert is stored under the rear cover, where there is also room for the spoon. The filter holder has a lever to hold the insert so that the used coffee grounds can be knocked out. The removable drip-tray has slats with about a 1cm gap between the slats which means that some espresso cups with small bases can easily tilt over.The top of the coffee maker sticks out over the base and when the coffee-maker was on a kitchen worktop and I was standing I couldn't see where to put the coffee cup, there isn't much room and the maximum height of the coffee-cup is about 7cm. Probably better is you sit to make the coffee.....The unit has an "OK" light to show when it has reached temperature. I used espresso grind coffee and tamped it down with the built-in tamper but the crema was quite thin. The milk frother worked well though.Overall I was disappointed with the performance, I have a capsule machine which consistently produces good coffee.

Better, but not perfect.
By Mad Saint Uden
I want to compare this to the Russell Hobbs 19720 15-Bar Pump Espresso Machine, Black which I also recently received.This Delonghi has some improvements over the RH one.*Firstly it looks and feels less cheep - for example of the RH when you open the cover for the water you feel like you are about to break it but not with this one.*This one holds more water*this one doesn't have a silly little hose you have to bend into the water resivoir, you simply place the container in the unit (it sits on a valve).*You can decide how much 'oomph' to give the milk frother via use of a knob.*the handle on the 'thingie' that holds the filter(s) has a flippy thing that holds the filter in place when you turn it over and shake it to get rid of the used wet granuals - thus avoiding dropping it in the bin every time.*you can just about get a small mug under/into it if you don't have the right designed ones.Things that are different, but neither better/worse in my opinion...*there is a build in tamper - this saves you loosing the loose one (you get a loose one with the RH) but is harder to clean.*drip tray not heated.*this one gives instructions to heat for 30 mins before use - but you still only get warm coffee.*the frother is on the left rather than the right.Things that are the same...*you get more of a drip one side than the other so one cup fills quicker.*does not come with correct sized mugs or correct sized thing to make the milk in.So while this is better than the other one and has been used a couple of times...it's still more of a looker than a useful item.

OK but I prefer my Gaggia
By debbie8355
This is an ok coffee machine. Good points are the water tank is removable so easy to refill and clean. It heats up quickly and the coffee is hot - I never got on with the lukewarm offerings from pod machines. It doesn't take up too much kitchen counter top space. It's not as stylish as my equivalent Gaggia Espresso Cubika Plus RI8151/60 Coffee Machine, Blackand the crema layer produced produced isn't as deep on this machine. Better than a pod machine but I think there are better simarly priced coffee makers out there.
