De'Longhi Manual Coffee Machine Stilosa EC260.CR, 15 Bar Pressure, Cappuccino System, Automatic Switch-Off, Compatible with ESE pods, 2 Level Tray, Capacity 1L Cream

10/10, this has been used on a daily basis and continues to work well. There have been no issues, can do single and double espressos. It is easy to clean and change. Milk frother works well and makes excellent coffee. Would highly recommend. This has saved me money as I no longer want to buy coffee when out because I know I can make nicer coffee at home.

This coffee machine is actually so much fun to use and makes fantastic coffee. It's not too loud and very easy to use. It looks super high quality and all components feel nice and sturdy.

We’ve had a delonghi espresso machine for years now and it’s been a very reliable part of our morning routine/hosting friends and family. Was finally able to upgrade and this is what we chose; a BEAUTIFUL sage green newer version of our old machine. It’s SO lovely, I love the fact you have space to hide the spare filters in the machine itself. The water tank is smaller than previous but again much neater and hidden so looks super smart. It makes a really lovely cappuccino, I ran it through with just water twice before making a coffee. Definitely worth taking the time to do this so one doesn’t taste any unpleasant new plasticky/metallic flavours. It’s easy to use and very intuitive, has cleaning instructions on stickers inside which is helpful. Froths milk well and both coffee and milk come out nice and hot. Material feels easy to clean too which is great. Nice weight to it and all feels very secure. Filters have a screw system to be able to remove themselves filter from the coffee arm thing which is super handy! The colour is just stunning!! Our old one was a dark grey, totally fine but nothing remarkable and could make the kitchen feel a bit dark. I’ve become slightly obsessed with the warm and light that sage gives as a colour so when I saw this machine now came in that it was a no brainer! We are currently doing up our kitchen so this will match the new colour scheme perfectly. The only thing that was not great was the delivery driver left it on the doorstep without even bothering to ring the door bell or knock. Luckily we could see him coming so was able to quickly bring it in but imagine if we had been out! It was just in its box with see through plastic covering so very obvious with what it was: the machines aren’t cheap and very light so would be very easy to steal if an opportunist spotted it. One star removed as a result. Delivery was however super fast as I ordered it yesterday and it was here this morning.

This is my first “proper” coffee machine. I’ve wanted one for a long time and finally bought this based on price and the positive reviews. I think it is a good machine for the money, makes a nice cup of coffee and looks good on the kitchen counter. I don’t have anything negative to say about it. The only thing I would say is that I don’t use it as often as I thought I would. On some days I enjoy the ritual of making a good cup of coffee but for speed of drinking that coffee I still use coffee bags which I find, having tried several but now found one I really enjoy, make a good cup of coffee.

Got this on Black Friday and it’s amazing. Has changed my morning coffee routine for the better. It’s a good size, doesn’t take up lots of space and brews a lovely coffee which tastes so much better! Fully converted from instant now. It’s quick to heat up and pours at a steady pace. It’s not overly loud either.

It's cheap, and unfortunately the issues are many. Starting with.... Coffee temperature is a lukewarm 63 degrees, I get that it is so you do not "burn " the coffee, but, when you have to mess around with the milk frother, it becomes an issue. We used a temperature gauge, using the frother, the green light ON. The first hit with the frother took the milk to 33 degrees, and then, wait until the green light was on again, then, froth again. The temperature goes up in 17 degree increments. So after 4 uses of the frother, the coffee is now less than 50 degrees, and the milk at 80 degrees, you lose temperature as you are now pouring the hot milk onto cold coffee.. Unfortunately, this is definitely not acceptable, and, by the time you've made 2 cups of coffee, you've just wasted over 10 minutes of your life. Then, to empty the coffee grinds, you follow the instructions, and "tap tap", and the whole unit (portafilter) that you put the coffee into, falls out into the bin. EVERY TIME. The handle,(basket) that you turn to lock the coffee into the machine, you have to be a body builder to turn this as its so tight, you can barely lock it in position. The milk frother, you must NOT follow the user instructions at this point, if you do, you end up with milk inside the frother pipe, which if left is going to be very unhygienic. You really need to take the pipe off and wash it, then, clean the unit itself. Yes it's a good black Friday deal, BUT, it's not a good machine in so many ways, which is a shame as it does make a good, if lukewarm coffee.

Easy to use and looks good

I've been a bit like Goldilocks and her porridge trying to find a reasonably priced machine that takes ese pods. This one is a keeper because: ESE pods fit nicely in the single filter - I use Borbone Gold as they are strong, rich and a good price - no messy grounds to deal with so Happy Days. The frother arm is adjustable/maneuverable so I can use a reasonably sized metal jug. The inner "wand" is rubber and because of the larger than average, metal outer tube it produces a decent head of froth. The coffee (cappuchino in my case) is always piping hot because of the steamed milk. The knack to release the filter from the basket is to firstly insert the filter lining up the 2 dimples on the filter with the rebates on the basket. To remove it slip the lip of the 2nd basket (same way up) under the filter by the rebate that has the little "spring" in it. A quick twist and out it will pop. Reasonably priced, easy to clean, doesn't take up too much counter space and it even has storage space for the 2nd filter that isn't in use. One satisfied customer : )

The first shipment I received was opened, so I asked for a replacement. I like the machine. My parents 20 year old machine broke and they wanted a replacement, and this one is very similar to their old one. I really like the removable tank. I also like how small it is. For whatever reason, the dimensions aren't written here, but my father was able to find them on the company website.

Livraison du colis parfaite, très bien protégé. Facile à utilisé.Bien penser à purger la machine avant la première utilisation. Très bon produit à plutôt l'air fiable sur la durabilité. Café de très bonne qualité de type bar-restaurant. Fonction vapeur efficace. L' avantage de l'arrêt manuel et que l'on peux gérer sa quantité ( ristretto, moyen, long ) mais pas de fonction automatique sur ce modèle mais reste une machine à café de grande qualité si on ne souhaite pas de fonction capsule aluminium.

Ottima macchinetta per il caffè a braccetto, montalatte ben funzionante e caffè sempre cremoso. La uso tutti i giorni, basta decalcificare spesso se si vive in zone in cui l’acqua è dura e la qualità del caffè rimane ottima! Per quello che costa veramente un ottimo acquisto

Best machine for home ! I have it for 1 year work perfectly!

Cannot use the machine as the lead is European and not Australian/english
