De’Longhi Classic Espresso Machine with Milk Frother, 15-Bar Pump & Temperature Control - Barista Coffee Maker Kit for Espresso, Latte, Cappuccino & Iced

I had been eyeing some of the pricier espresso machines, but what kept me from purchasing one was the size of the bigger ones. They didn't fit in my space. I watched many reviews and after many searches, this is the one I settled on. I am so glad to have made the right choice. This machine is a dream! If it broke tomorrow, I'd purchase a new one. Super easy to use, well made, looks beautiful and impressive, has a much larger water tank than other machines I've owned in the past, so you're not constantly filling it up, and it doesn't have extra unnecessary buttons or a fake pressure gauge. Each button has a function. I use soy milk or other plant milks and it works amazingly well. I can feel the milk pitcher heat up in my hand within seconds. The frother has two settings, one for heating milk and when pulled down, for frothing. It makes it easy to control how hot or cold you want your cappuccino or latte to be. Super easy and perfect temperature milk each time. Along with my Lavazza Super Crema Whole Bean Coffee, Medium Espresso, I have not had a bad cup of coffee since. I stopped going out for coffee, what I have at home is much better than what I can get at the best coffee shops. It's worth every penny.

As a longtime customer of De Longhi, I have seen tremendous improvement in their machines. I was very happy with my last purchase a couple of years ago but unfortunately my little grandson broke the dial while playing with it, so I bought this new model for a lot more money (don't worry, there are no dials to break). This is by far the best machine for its price on the market, and in fact it is very near to perfection. Read the (admittedly somewhat complicated) instructions carefully and especially don't neglect to remove the red plastic cord on the bottom of the water reservoir. Once you have set it up and primed it properly it is very easy to use, just plug it in and press the button to start and the button for the number of cups you want (I prefer2, with that filter already installed) and it works automatically. Make sure the espresso is filled and tamped properly--invest in a separate tool for punching little holes in the espresso (really helps) and the heavy metal tamper, since the plastic one is not very efficient. If done properly the result is a perfect shot every time, with at least 1/2 inch of crema and no, or nearly no, residue in the cup. I prefer using the Capuccino size glasses rather than small cups, and also because you can add another shot or two to the glass if desired (see instructions). However, the crema lasts longer in an espresso cup, if that is important for you. Some have complained about water leaking but perhaps they did not remove the red cord from the bottom of the water reservoir; anyway, I have found no water leaking after constant use for over two weaks. Also, the pressure dial has no numbers on it because you don't need them, it works automatically, perfectly every time and there is no need to do anything. Just enjoy this lovely gem!

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! 🇮🇹☕

En efecto la maquina si tiene cierto olor y "sabor" a nuevo que se le quita eventualmente, en el manual dice como curarla para que se le quite, nada tan extremo como para devolverla, el cafe es increible, buena potencia y muy facil de limpiar, pero se recomienda leer el manual de instrucciones. en definitiva fue una compra excelente.

Bonjour au sujet de ma de deLonghi , ce modèle que j ai acheter je peux vous dire que je suis très satisfait, j’ai connu plusieurs machine barista et de loin celle-là remplie mais attentes , elle est très précise et chauffe rapidement , Au moment où on se fait un café et que l on met la machine en marche ,avec le manomètre indicateur on peut voir la pression qui monte et en le temps de le dire elle est prêt à fonctionner et pendant l’écoulement du café il y a une exactitude constante avec la température de l’eau tu et la pression qui donnes un excellent café avec une créma incroyable , je croit que c est un tres bon rapport qualité prix ! …

Para una primer maquina de espresso, es ideal, buena calidad, resistente, esteticamente atractiva, no tan cara y una muy buena marca. De'Longhi es apuesta segura, es mi tercera maquina de esta marca y nunca me han dado ningun problema.

Merci Amazon pour le prix : presque 50$ de moins que sur le site officiel. Prix imbattable ! L'article est arrivé plutôt rapidement, comme d'habitude avec Amazon, livraison standard. Dernier modèle chez De'Longhi, la Linea Classic étonne par ses caractéristiques : - Très stable sur le comptoir de sorte que la tasse reste bien à sa place ; - Comparée à la mienne (la Stilosa), elle est beaucoup moins bruyante ; - Elle est prête à l'emploi en quelques secondes ; - L'espresso produit est à la fois très corsé et délicieux avec une belle mousse sur le dessus ; - Même si les boutons sont déjà programmés pour une ou deux tasses, il est possible d'arrêter ou de réactiver le débit à volonté, ce qui permet de remplir une petite tasse ou une grande tasse. - Le nanomètre est très utile pour afficher la pression ; - Le design est élégant. Je n'ai pas essayé la production de vapeur puisque je ne prépare que de l'espresso. Enfin, je conseille à tous ceux et celles qui ne peuvent commencer la journée qu'après avoir bu une tasse d'espresso d'acheter La Linea Classic, surtout au prix proposé par Amazon.

I’m very disappointed with this machine after only 4 months of use. It no longer pushes water through the basket properly and seems to struggle under pressure, which causes the coffee to taste burnt. Support suggested it might be a scaling issue, so I purchased the official De'Longhi descaling solution and carefully followed the full descaling process, but it made no difference. Unfortunately, support has offered very little help beyond that suggestion. I’ve also tried using less coffee, skipping tamping, and thoroughly cleaning all components, yet the machine still doesn’t function the way it used to. It’s frustrating to experience these issues so soon, especially since my previous espresso machine (different brand) lasted for years before having any problems. I expected much better reliability and customer support from a machine this new.
