De'Longhi ECP3220 15-Bar Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Machine

I love this machine! It is saving us $200/month on coffee! My partner and I have both worked as baristas and this machine is better than some of the cafes we've worked in.

My first expresso coffee machine. Makes a great coffee, latte, and expresso. Simple to use!

This was a great buy and we are really enjoying our espresso machine.

It's small but works amazing I love it.

Don't let the low cost fool you. This machine makes really good espresso.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Influenster and DeLonghi for this beauty. I love how the espresso tastes and it matches my chrome and black appliances in the kitchen. It has a nice clean design to it that is pretty compatible with anything and I find it easy to use with the simple dial. The milk foam makes a nice creamy layer on top, yum! I think this machine makes espressos that can compare to cafe espressos, maybe I'm biased haha but I love it so far. A huge plus—clean up is easy also!

Excellent espresso machine. The cup and handle seem to be close to good when making coffee but the cup comes out too easily. The coffee we use is Lavazza Super Crema and the flavor is amazing. We use the 2 cup insert and it may need a bit more engineering because it pops out easily. The last version of this machine did the same thing and we kept it for years until the motor gave out. Excellent investment for morning espresso. Cleaning is super easy - the reservoir holds enough water to ensure lots of cups. HINT: clean it out every day before and after use. Don't let the water stand.

This model has apparently been discontinued at the supplier, so I bought it (my second) from Walmart. It takes getting used to, but once you figure it out it works well with ESE pods (smaller than the Nescafe/Keurig pods) or with fresh-ground coffee. Good value for the money. I only make espresso, don't use the frother.

This is the third Delonghi espresso machine I've purchased. The first one similar to this lasted four years before it died. Then I had the double boiler model which I did not like. The hot water tank was too small for each boiler. It died after a year. I've tried other mfgrs and end up coming back to Delonghi. Even though they have an Italian name the products are made in China. I use alternative milks like coconut and such, and other machines just can't froth it right. This one has no problem with it. I wish it had a timer to shut off the espresso automatically like some do. And I wish it didn't have so much plastic coming in contact with your water. Both hot and cold water. Once you take out the basket on the portafilter the inside is plastic. And the entire water reservoir is plastic. Inside the steam wand is rubber. And those are just the parts you can see. The portafilter is difficult to turn to the correct place, even empty.

Not a very sturdy machine, feels like a toy. Does not make enough pressure for a good espresso and it's manual pour so you have to guess when it's at the end or it will start to basically turn into just hot water.
