Summary: Makes a Great Espresso
Comment: This is my fourth espresso machine. The other three were all Mr. Coffee Pump Espresso machines, but an older version of what you currently see available. I got tired of replacing them because they have a max life of 18 months IMHO. I bought the DeLonghi EC155 because of its favorable reviews AND its price. After less than a week I can say that I like this machine A LOT. I will describe how I make a cup of Americano and deal with the "issues" that some reviewers have had with this machine. As soon as you get the machine out of the box get a bucket of white paint out and dip a toothpick into the paint. Fill the notch on the control knob with a little of the white paint. It will help you see the front knob position. I always fill my stainless steel pitcher with water and let it stand overnight to allow the floride to evaporate. Fill the water reservoir and note that the water exits out of the bottom. I think this is a better design feature than with the Mr. Coffee. Now for brewing a cup of Americano I start with three cups: a 16oz stainless steel pitcher for frothing, a 4oz espresso cup and a regular 12oz coffee cup. Turn the knob to the right to heat water for making the espresso. While that is heating fill the larger of the two filter baskets with your favorite espresso. (The small one will never get used in my home.) I tamp the espresso with the flat bottom of my coffee scoop. (I don't ever see myself using the tamp on the right side of the machine.) Experiment with your tamping pressure to control the strength of your brew. I fill the filter almost all the way and tamp fairly firmly. You do have to be able to seat the filter basket firmly which means turning the filter holder handle until it is in the six o'clock position so don't overfill the filter. By this time the green light should have come on. Put the espresso cup (I don't know of any machine in this price range that will accommodate a regular cup) under the filter and turn the pump on. I run the pump until the cup is about ¼" from full. I let the crema drain for a couple seconds and then move it to the right side of the driptray. (You can add sugar to that and drink this as espresso if you like.) I turn the knob to the left to heat water for frothing. While that is heating I vent the frother into the 12oz cup which gets rid of the water that would dilute your milk and heats the cup I drink from. I usually end up with about ½" of water in that cup which I pour out. The frothing light will come on shortly if it is not already on. I like my drink sweet so I put 2 Sweet N Lo into the stainless pitcher before adding about 6oz of milk. I tip the stainless steel pitcher until I can move it under the frother. I insert only the tip into the milk and then open the steaming knob on the top of the machine all the way. I immediately get a lot of bubbles but this usually settles quickly as the frother builds a generous firm foamhead. I dump the espresso into my empty coffee cup and then pour milk into the small espresso cup to get the last of the espresso and pour that into my coffee cup. I then spoon some of the foam head into the coffee cup and I'm ready to drink. Sometimes when I'm feeling a little lazy I will froth the milk in the cup I drink from. I tried to include a couple pictures showing the DeLonghi frothing the milk in my drinking cup while it sits on the driptray. It can be done. Enjoy! It's a great machine IMHO.

Summary: Hope you are not in a hurry...
Comment: This machine make fine coffee, but is very slow. First: the machine needs to heat the water for 25 minutes before brewing. Yes, 25 MINUTES! at first i thought it a mis-print, but no, 25 minutes. Second: if you are doing a double shot, you have to pause inbetween shot 1 and shot 2. Third: the coffee this machine produces is never really hot - luke warm at best. Customer service told me to run a vinegar-water solution through it to clean, but this did not help at all. The visible water level window was a nice feature. The cost of this unit is ok,but for a little more investment better machines are avaialble.

Summary: it's is ok but not great
Comment: it got too expensive going to sturback. it worth the money. you just need to know how to work it out. if you like very hot coffee then you need to work with the frother for about a minute so it will get hot because the coffee itself do not come out hot. i have the machine for about 1 month and it already paid it self and i don't have to go anywhere to get cup of coffee. i gave it 4 stars because the coffee is not hot, witch i do not care but some people like there coffee very hot.

Summary: great little machine
Comment: i have had this machine for about a month now and its my first espresso machine. so far i love it. i think it makes a very nice shot with a nice carmel colored crema. my barista friend who uses a comercial machine from when he owned a coffee shop says it looks as good as his. this is a totally manual machine however so its up to you to run the machine to extract just how you want the shot to end up. only drawback i have is frothing 2 cups of milk back to back, you need to let the machine recover a few minutes before doing the second cup. so when i make one for me and my gal i go ahead and make the two shots and then froth one milk and let her have it and while its recovering i clean up my mess and then hit mine. i think other than being a little short the steam nozzle works great
