Barista's review,
This review is from: DeLonghi EC460 Espresso Maker (Kitchen)
I work in a local coffee shop as a barista. And although this is not a professional machine, the espresso shots (using our Espresso beans of course) from this Delonghi EC460 Espresso Maker are every bit as good! Yes, yes, you need to let it warm up, I actually run an empty shot through to warm up my cup and get things going. I believe the instructions even say to do this! You can dispense hot water to make americanos . . . that's a big plus in my book. As far as the frother . . .it's darn good for a home machine! If you are new to frothing, make sure to use a stainless pitcher and get yourself a thermometer and with a little practice your lattes will be perfect!!
This is not a cheap plastic machine. I've been using it daily for 3 months, 2-4 shots depending on whether my hubby is home or not. Perfect crema every time!! This is a great machine that makes great espresso for a great price!! You won't be sorry and you'll thank yourself a "latte" for buying it!!

Best machine for the price!,

This review is from: DeLonghi EC460 Espresso Maker (Kitchen)
The title says it all. You can not beat this machine for the price its at. I've had other machines in the < $200 price range, and they don't compare. Its easy to use, its got a sexy design that compliments a contemporary kitchen, but most off all, it makes a great espresso. Each cup has a thick amount of crema that remains after you stir the espresso. The two boilers are great; the espresso never comes out burnt. Its easy to clean, as all the parts rinse clean, or can be taken apart fast and easy for a heavy duty clean.
A few things they don't tell you. It's mostly plastic, although it's referred to as Stainless Steal. However it's still pretty beefy. The drip tray and warming plate are both HEAVY DUTY chrome, as well as the frother. The portafilter is heavy duty (very sturdy) and you have your choice of two filter inserts (one for single espresso's and PODs and one for doubles). Because they are removable, its sometimes difficult to tamp the grinds into the trash with out the insert following. A little practice and you'll get it down. The warming tray doesn't really heat up to warm, and it takes a while. I suggest warming the cups with hot water from the machine. Lastly, the machine itself is pretty big. I expected it to be smaller. It's not a problem for me, but if you have a small kitchen, keep this in mind. In the end, it's a really great machine. Its much better then the Saeco I had previously. It gets 5 stars from me when comparing it to other machines at this price point!

Beautiful espresso,
This review is from: DeLonghi EC460 Espresso Maker (Kitchen)
When researching espresso makers, I first ordered the Lello Ariete and prepared myself for the wait. I had looked at this DeLonghi before ordering the Lello, but was thrown off by the image on Amazon not showing the portafilter, thinking it would be some sort of push-button, auto-dispensing, generic espresso maker. After a week or two of dreaming of the Lello and continuing to pay $3-$5 for soy lattes at local coffee houses, I decided to get back on Amazon and take a look again. After finding other images online of this DeLonghi with a portafilter, I decided to place my order. I ordered this on Oct. 28 and received it with free shipping on Nov. 2.
It works like a dream, makes great espresso, and froths perfectly. Even my signficant other, who has worked in coffee shops for over 5 years and has a more discriminating taste, loves the espresso this DeLonghi machine makes. A previous reviewer had mentioned that the espresso was coming out warm, not hot. At first, I agreed, but that is only because I was switching the machine on and making my espresso immediately. However, I have found that if I actually let the machine warm up for 5-10 minutes and follow the instructions for preheating, the espresso comes out very hot.
